SMOKING and other acts considered to be disturbing will be prohibited in buses and subway trains in Chinese cities, under a new draft government regulation.
Passengers will also be banned from drinking alcohol, begging, carrying pets and giving performances of a commercial nature in buses and subway trains.
The Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, or the Cabinet, made the draft public to solicit opinions on Friday. The draft also outlined rules on the construction, operation, and safety of urban public transport.
It assigned the main responsibility of developing urban public transport to the government, and urged the government to increase spending and prioritize the development of public transport in urban areas.
The government, which will retain the right to set fares for urban public transport, will be required to hold a public hearing before setting prices.
Prices need to be fixed in a way that public transport would become the favored means of transport for urban residents, the draft said.
