Keith Schroeder, a tourist from the United States, said he had no problem using Beijing's subway, which has clear signboards.

"The subway here is very clean, quiet and convenient," he said. "This is by far the cleanest subway I have used."

The subway opened in 1971, with a ticket price of 0.1 yuan.

With five subway lines and 140 km of tracks, it carries an average of 3 million passengers a day.

Three more lines will be added - Line 10, Olympic Line and Airport Line - next month.
