In southwest China's Chongqing, more subway lines are being rolled out(开通) to the rural areas(农村区域) around the city, particularly Subway Line 4. Known as the “line for back baskets”, Subway Line 4 connects the city's northeast Shichuan Town to the city centre. Since its opening of Phase Ⅱ in 2022, it has offered local farmers near the town more ways to sell their vegetables. The vegetables used to be sold at low prices in the town. But now they can be sold at higher prices in the city.
Every morning around 6 o'clock, Shichuan Town Station is crowded with farmers. They carry baskets filled with fresh vegetables on their backs, or use shoulder poles to carry the baskets. To help the farmers more, the station opens early every day.
In Chongqing, people over the age of 65 can take the subway for free. The opening of this subway line helps the elderly not only save money but also save time. An elderly couple in their 80s take the subway to sell vegetables every morning. According to the couple, it used to take them more than one hour to reach the city centre as they had to take several buses. Now, by taking the subway, they can get there in less than 30 minutes. And they can sell all their vegetables in less than three hours after arriving at the market.
