Beijing Subway station names in Pinyin

We need your help! We’re planning to add Pinyin names to our metro maps to help you pronounce metro station names more easily. After your great help on the Shanghai names, we need your help to check the accuracy of the Beijing Subway transliterations. Take a look over the list of Beijing Subway stations below, and if you see any errors in the pinyin column, leave us a comment! In particular:
* Do all syllables have the correct pinyin, including tone mark?
* Are the word boundaries correct? The Beijing Subway tends to run multiple words together in Pinyin. We’ve tried to use more logical word breaks where possible.

    Hmm, is this more stops than Shanghai? At least, it took longer for me. That may also have to do with not having heard of these station names before, which also means that there may be some glaring errors that I didn’t catch. In any case, here are my meager proposals:

    * Zhangzizhonglu 张自忠路 Zhāngzì Zhōnglù –> Zhang Zizhong is a person, so change the spacing to Zhāng Zìzhōng Lù
    * Bagou 巴沟 Bagōu –> Does 巴 have not tone? Not having heard it pronounced, I can’t say for sure, but dict.cn says bā
    * Jintaixizhao 金台夕照 Jīntáixìzhào –> I would break this into two “words”, Jīntái Xìzhào
    * Xihongmen 西红门站 Xīhóngmén –> Missing the pinyin for 站
    * Biomedical Base 生物医药基地 Shēngwùyīyào Jīdì –> Would break this into Shēngwù Yīyào Jīdì
    * Tongjinanlu 同济南路 Tóngjǐ Nánlù –> Should be Tóngjì (Shanghai’s Tongji Uni is this way)

    Regarding breaking up the longer strings of pinyin, as a Chinese language learner I prefer shorter units because it’s easier for me to speak them individually and then string them together. Also, Google shows that people do run pinyin together, but that they tend to break it up more often.

    Zhangzizhonglu 张自忠路 Zhāngzì Zhōnglù should be Zhāngzìzhōng Lù, because Zhangzizhong is the name for a famous Chinese general.
