【On January 16, 2019】In the last couple of years, passenger traffic in subway keeps rising with the rapid development of rail transit in Beijing. Among the operating lines in Beijing, the average daily patronage of Line 4 and Daxing Line grows from 535,000 passenger journeys in 2009 to 1.236 million passenger journeys in 2018. Large passenger flow emerging during weekday peak hours is particularly apparent.
For the convenience of passengers, BJMTR has taken many approaches including purchasing additional trains, continuously optimizing train dispatching scheme, adding temporary trains, and adopting full-length and short-turn routing at the same time, to shorten the headway for more than 10 times. At the same time, each station has its own measure to improve travel environment.
