Beijing tests subway system for parcel delivery to ease traffic, cut emissions.

Beijing is testing a pilot project using its subway system to deliver parcels, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions. The project, which repurposes subway compartments for deliveries during off-peak hours, has potential for wider adoption in other Chinese cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. This innovative use of urban rail could decrease delivery costs by about 20% and set global benchmarks for efficiency and emissions reduction.
