Beijing's new subway trains to hold 3,560 passengers at once

Beijing is preparing to roll out some fancy new trains to service its grope-filled, utterly jam-packed subway system. The new trains will be composed of eight cars, the largest number used on the system, and they'll be capable of carrying more than 3,500 people at a time.

The new trains will also get a speed boost, with a maximum velocity of 80 kilometers per hour (about 50 mph), because there's nothing as calming as knowing that you're traveling at a high speed through an underground metal tube with thousand of other people crammed next to you.

The new trains will initially serve Beijing's Line 16, which is set to finish construction in 2017. (Probably a good idea not to roll out faster trains alongside slower trains on the same route, because physics.)

Beijing's subway is a bit of a crowded mess (BREAKING) but recent events like raising the fare by three-fold have done little to quell the pushing, heaving, sweating masses pouring into the city's underground. When in doubt, build more trains.
