VisionChina already holds exclusive rights to operate on all existing subways in the city of Guangzhou as well as on the platforms that service the subway system.

Including the new line, the Guangzhou subway system will feature a network of 5 lines covering 150 kilometers of track accessed via 91 subway stations.

Commenting on the Company’s successful bid in Guangzhou, Mr. Limin Li, VisionChina Media’s chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Guangzhou has a large and attractive pool of local advertisers and is also one of China’s four Tier I cities that are important to national and international advertisers alike. Additionally, in 2010, Guangzhou will host the 16th Asian Games. This sporting event, second in Asia only to the Olympic Games, is expected to attract millions of visitors of all nationalities. The combination of our leading above-ground bus network and our newly expanded underground subway network in the city of Guangzhou positions us well to explore the vast opportunities presented by the event.”

Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong province, has over 10 million residents.
