A spokesman of the Beijing subway operators said the cause of the shutdown was not immediately known. The shutdown was reported at around 8 am on line 4, he said. Line 4 is the newest subway line in Beijing's underground transportation network. It opened on September 28, linking Beijing's populous yet underdeveloped southern areas with the city center and the developed western areas. |
