Beijing Subway suggests it’s so fast the city’s emergency services are using it

Ad agency Grey has released a campaign for Beijing Subway that proposes that taking the subway is the fastest mode of transport in the traffic choked city.

The print and outdoor campaign features various public services teams who have opted to take the train rather than their emergency vehicles.

In response to Mumbrella’s questions about the campaign’s media exposure and duration, Grey said the first phase of the campaign ran as ads on elevators in Chaoyang District in Beijing from January to February.

The second phase ran in “some magazines” in April. The agency said it would respond with details on which publications it ran in.
