Zaaczaac,

That's Shanghai, hardly a reflection of the Chinese population, most of whom live on very low local daily wages.

Like my experience living in Asian countries off and on for almost 20 years. While Train and Taxi might seem cheap to you comparing to Australia or on Dollar income in Asian country, one train fare might be a hours or even days salary for locals.

Ones that can afford it will save and work to afford one scooter or small motorbike, that will be their only personal transport or transport for entire family and do everything from school runs, to trips to the markets, work and so on.

They might be able to afford a scooter or small motorbike, but they can't afford taxi and train rides daily for the transportation needs.

Why you see so many small motorbikes and scooters all over Asia and India etc.

Yes I lived in Shanghai as well, but only six months each time on two different occasions..

Scooters are not a fashion accessory for 100s of millions in Asia. Hence my statement, weather makes no difference.
