As far as transportation is concerned in Shanghai, at the beginning of the 1990s the number of private cars began to cause congestion problems. Since then investment in transportation infrastructure has soared. Today the city road system is capable of bearing a large part of the traffic load. Public transport accommodates millions passengers each day. Several bus-way has been established and more have planned. The city has five urban rail lines and will be extend 400 km in 2010. Cycling has diminished somewhat, but two-wheelers remain a popular conveyance. As far as car traffic goes, licence plate control takes place, but jams are still a plague, particularly in the centre of town. The density is so high in city centre, a multi-polar plan has been adopted. Finally, some conclusion has been made for the success and failure of urban transport polices in Shanghai.
