A Chinese couple were deeply angered when a video of them kissing passionately appeared on YouTube and sina.com..

They were set to sue the Shanghai subway, but now they’ve received an official apology and an offer of compensation, says state news agency Xinhua.

“We have wrapped up an internal investigation and found the videotape was uploaded by people who had worked for Shanghai metro,” this story has subway officials saying.

“We made formal apologies and are negotiating with the couple over compensation,” authorities with Shanghai Metro Operation Co Ltd said, according to Xinhua.

The company found three staff were, “accountable for capturing and uploading the video footage,” says the story, adding:

“Two of them already left the company last September. The other one, a female, was dismissed after the incident caused public uproar.”
