People sometimes complain about how crowded the Metro can be when they go to work, but today's throngs are nothing compared with 30 years ago, when locals had to push and shove their way onto crammed buses.

One can feel the hustle and anxiety of those bygone commutes in an exhibition now being showcased at People’s Square Station.

Entitled “The Photographic Stories of Shanghai Transportation,” the exhibit features 30 pictures reflecting changes of the city’s public transport system over the past 70 years.
