The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpt carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the different opinions on the issue;

The Shanghai Municipal Transport and Port Authority is asking passengers to avoid eating while riding, but also to refrain from other behavior that could annoy their fellow travelers. The new measure covers skating in stations, carrying super-size luggage, smoking and a host of other acts. It was approved in December and took effect on Jan. 1.
Of all the topics, eating was the most controversial. After heated debate about whether a ban should be written into regional regulations, which carry the force of law and include penalties, the authorities compromised.
As enacted, the new rule asks passengers to avoid eating in train cars as a matter of courtesy to others. It does not require them to refrain, nor is any penalty imposed for noncompliance. Eating inside subway stations was not banned.
Nationwide, cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Nanjing have enacted similar rules to ban eating in subway cars. Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, is the only city so far to use a regional law to clamp down on the practice.
In Shanghai, a random survey by China Daily on Thursday morning found that people were largely unaware of the new guideline, though many said they were willing to abide by it. Not everyone thought it was a good idea.
" Society should be more tolerant of those having to eat on the train," said Wu Fangcheng, 27, an IT company employee who was having bread and milk inside the Changshu Road station on Line 1.
He said he preferred to spend more time sleeping in the morning, even if that meant crunching his time for breakfast. But the arrangement is less than ideal.
"If possible, who would not sit down with their loved ones to have a decent breakfast? It’s not comfortable to eat in a swaying train," he said.
Another passenger, who was having a sandwich and yogurt on Line 7, said he was not aware of the rule but would like to follow it.
Bert Quintens, a tourist from Belgium, said he doesn’t find eating by fellow passengers offensive.
"In Belgium, eating on public transportation is also prohibited, but people keep ignoring the rule," he said. "Nobody would stop them, and it is very hard to do so. I think it is acceptable as long as you don’t leave any garbage. "
A dispatch operator at the Changshu Road station, surnamed Yang, said on Thursday that he will intervene to block some discourteous acts in the subway such as smoking or boarding with a pet, but he will not step into a car to stop someone from eating.
Shanghai Shentong Metro Group, the sole operator of the city’s subway network, gave no specific directions as to enforcement of the new rule, Yang said. "It is OK as long as no one complains about it."
Wu Junshang, a manager of passenger service at the Shanghai Metro Operation Management Center, said the no-eating rule may not be very effective since it is not compulsory. At the same time, it would hard to enforce if it is included in the regional law, Wu said.
Qian Zhaocheng, a commentator, said authorities should consider the needs of different groups of passengers. He does not support a law that reaches too far—such as a broad ban on eating in subway cars—he said.
"It’s not people’s own choice," he said. "The great pressure of living requires many people to spend their dining time on the subway. "

My Views on Eating on Subways With Shanghai issuing the rules of subway courtesies, debates about eating on subways rage again. The authority asks passengers not to eat in train cars for courtesy reasons, while the public are not in total agreement with this issue. Some think the society should be more tolerant because life is full of pressures. Some believe the rule makes no much difference because the ban is not compulsory and thus less effective and the subway staff share similar points of view. However, my view towards this issue is positive. Firstly, the government’s starting point is to ask people to behave themselves during their traveling via subway. If the practically sealed subway cars are filled with undesirable odors during the morning rush hour, many passengers would be fed up. It’s seen as a courteous gesture not to eat something that is smelly, noisy, and messy. Common considerations used to hold that eating in front of others that aren’t eating is just plain rude. In many cities, getting caught sneaking a bite of something by fellow passengers is almost as bad as getting fined. Secondly, eating on the train is unhygienic and contributes to germs, pests and trash. As we know, there is the general lack of hygiene underground. Eating on the subway car adventures the snack or meal to the uncleanliness. More seriously, that food also adds to the uncleanliness of the subway; namely it gives rise to the ever-growing rat or cockroach population. Plenty of cities have official no-food policies on their train systems, like Chicago, Washington D. C., and Shanghai. Laws and regulations need to be enforced. In particular, with crowds rushing into the subway car, we need to take others’ feelings into consideration. To annoy others by satisfying oneself is definitely a selfish deed; to contaminate environment by fulfilling one’s own wish is undoubtedly more selfish.
