The December 28, 2024 opening of Guangzhou Metro Line 11, China’s newest circular metro line, has sparked discussions about its potential impact on the notoriously overcrowded Line 3, known as the “Death Line” due to its extreme congestion.

The high-speed rail incident at Guangzhou South Railway Station has raised important questions about railway safety protocols and passenger behavior. The event occurred when a passenger holding a ticket for car 10 attempted to switch from car 8 to car 9 just as train G1175 was preparing to depart for Shantou.

The morning of December 22, 2024, witnessed a serious construction accident on Shanghai Metro Line 11 in China that highlighted critical infrastructure safety concerns. The incident occurred when a crawler crane’s arm fell onto the metro tracks, resulting in a collision with an approaching train and extensive damage to both the train and rail infrastructure.
