How to take the subway in Shanghai.

1. Make sure you know your times. If you have to catch the 7.45 on line 2, make sure you do not miss the 7.40 on line 4 so that you can make the exchange.

2. Plan your entry into the train carefully. Make sure you do not get in too deep that you cannot come out at the right station.

3. Have a good footing so that you do not sway too much when the train moves.

4. Position yourself so that when the flood of people at the next station happens, you do not get caught up in the flow and get pushed into the depths of the train. Instead, if done correctly, you would be able to keep your place near the door.

5. Again it is all about positioning. Make sure you are next to the smelly man but next to the prettiest girl around. Lol.
