SHANGHAI: A proposed inter-city subway line could soon allow Jiangsu province residents to commute conveniently to work in Shanghai.

Xie Ming, mayor of Taicang, Jiangsu province, revealed the plan on Sunday at a forum to increase cooperation in the delta region of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the Shanghai Morning Post reported on Monday.

Taicang is an industrial base in Jiangsu and the closest port to the sea on the Yangtze River.
