A recent attempt made to relieve crowding on subway cars in Beijing is "impractical and unrealistic", according to experts.
Beijing released its first standards and specifications for a local transit project on Thursday, limiting the spatial density on a subway car to five commuters per sq m at most.
The previous standard was six passengers per square meter.
