On Friday, I had the amazing opportunity to be among the first passengers to ride Suzhou Line 11 as it launched its first trial operation with passengers. This 41.27-kilometer metro line seamlessly connects Shanghai to Suzhou in Jiangsu Province and has 28 stops between Weiting in Suzhou Industrial Park and Huaqiao in Kunshan. As I arrived at Huaqiao Station at 9am, I was met with a huge crowd eagerly waiting for the arrival of the first train. The palpable excitement in the air was a symbol of the unification of these two cities and marked a historic moment.
