"Vegetable BasketLine"
In southwest China's Chongqing, more subway lines are rolling out(延伸) to the rural areas(农村区域) around the city, particularly(特别是) Line 4. Known as the "Vegetable Basket Line", Line 4 connects the city's northeast Shichuan town to the city center. It has a total length of 32.8 kilometers and 15 stations. Since its opening 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, the Shichuan town station is crowded with farmers. They carry baskets(篮子) filled with fresh vegetables on their backs, or use shoulder poles(肩扛杆) to carry the baskets. The station used to open at 6:15 am. To help the farmers, now it opens five minutes earlier 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 center 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.
