China bans incivilities including eating, begging and peddling in subway since Wednesday, according to a new regulation.


In view of the no-food clause, the regulation makes exceptions to passengers with special needs such as infants and patients.
The regulation on the operation and management of urban rail passenger transit, which takes effect on April 1, also prohibits littering and busking in carriages.
"Behaviors such as begging and peddling disrupt the public order and compromise passenger's travel experience. They tend to cause passenger disputes, especially in the rush hour," said Wang Xiuchun, an official with the Ministry of Transport. 
In addition, the regulation asks passengers to use earphones when using electronic gadgets instead of setting their speakers aloud.
