The good news, especially for local people, is that the long delayed Guangzhou to Zhuhai Mass Rapid Transit (or Qing Gui) started operations today. Trains appear to run every 45 minutes. The bad news is that the Gongbei section of the line (and Zhuhai main station) are still far from complete so the train is terminating at Jinding - conveniently renamed "Zhuhai North" . However there are express buses running from GongBei & Jiuzhou Port to the station. A first class fare is 44 RMB & a regular economy fare is 36 RMB, which compares favourably with the 68 RMB bus fare. Today every pensioner in Zhuhai was out to see the train.
