State Council Approves Layouts of Track Commuters

Chinese State Council approved the transportation layouts Wednesday for track commuters in the country's most developed three regions, the Bohai bay area including Beijing and Tianjin, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Zhujiang (Pearl) River Delta.
  
The State Council's executive meeting, which Premier Wen Jiabao presided over Wednesday, decided to build a modern transportation system with track commuters between scattered cities to facilitate economic integration.
  
The construction of a 115-kilometer-long track linking Beijing and Tianjin will start in July. It will only take about half an hour to travel between the two cities at 200 kilometers per hour by train in 2008.
  
In eastern China's Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai and Nanjing are planning to build a 295-kilometer-long track commuter. The construction of another one to connect Nanjing, Hefei and Wuhan is underway.
  
The Zhujiang River delta also plans to build a 595.6-kilometer-long track to make traveling in the region much easier and faster.
  
A statement of the meeting required relevant departments to push forward technological innovation, introduce advanced technology and minimize the land occupied to protect the environment.
  
The meeting also approved the draft regulations on management of vaccine circulation and inoculation.
