The following are some online comments at Sina Weibo, a twitter-like microblogging service in China.

Bayinghe: No more bragging about the cheapest metro ticket in the country. What a Thanksgiving Day gift! Here comes the question, will the hike really ease the traffic jams in Beijing?

Tingtingyuli: Goodbye, 2-yuan metro ticket. I am gonna ride bicycle from now on.

Maimingyinxing: I've gotten used to the 2-yuan ticket price, and the sudden rise makes me feel uncomfortable. Luckily the increase is not much and the price is still lower than other cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou.
