"Hebei Baoding Tourism" Chinese subway rankings are released: 6 cities generally suffer losses and the passenger volume does not meet the standards

Introduction to "Hebei Baoding Tourism" Has your hometown built a subway? By the end of the last century, only a few first-tier cities in China had opened subways. However, in the 21st century, with the solid foundation of China's economic development, more than 30 cities have entered the subway era. For ordinary people, the subway is nothing new. So, in the first city since the founding of New China, has a subway been built in your hometown? By the end of the last century, only a few first-tier cities in China had opened subways. However, in the 21st century, with the solid foundation of China's economic development, more than 30 cities have entered the subway era. For ordinary people, the subway is nothing new.

So, since the opening of the first urban subway after the founding of New China, what kind of development has China's subway construction experienced? Which city has the longest subway mileage? What problems still exist in subway operations?

Three cities have entered the subway era, and their construction mileage has quadrupled in 10 years.

In recent years, my country has vigorously promoted urban rail transit. Most subways run underground, which can effectively reduce ground congestion, so they are favored by urban planners.

As early as 1956, Beijing established a subway preparatory office. On October 1, 1969, the first phase of the Beijing Subway project was completed and opened to traffic, just in time to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Beijing became the first city in China to have a subway.

In recent decades, with the increase in infrastructure investment, China's subway construction has also entered the fast lane. According to statistics from the Data Journalism Laboratory, the total mileage of subways built in cities in my country is nearly 4,600 kilometers, which has quadrupled in 10 years. So far, 33 cities in China have opened subways. In the last 10 years alone, 21 cities have opened subways, and subway construction has entered a prosperous stage.

The subway mileage in the three cities exceeds 100 kilometers, with Shanghai first and Beijing second.

As of June 6, 2006, among the 33 cities that have opened subways, the subway mileage in 13 cities exceeds 100 kilometers. Among them, Shanghai ranks first with an operating mileage of 669 kilometers. Secondly, Beijing ranks second with a mileage of 617km, and Guangzhou ranks third with a mileage of 473km. In terms of the number of operating lines, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou rank in the top three with 20, 15, and 14 lines respectively.

It is worth noting that Shenzhen, also a first-tier city, ranks fourth with an operating mileage of 285km, but its mileage lags far behind Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Moreover, second-tier cities such as Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, etc. are catching up from behind, and the gap between their operating mileage and Shenzhen is gradually narrowing.

In terms of the total planned subway mileage, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in the first echelon are all over 1,000km, followed by Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Chengdu in the second echelon, with a total planned mileage of more than 800km.

Urban rail operations generally suffer losses, and the intensity of subway passenger transportation in 6 cities does not meet standards.

In 2009, more than 30 cities invested more than 600 billion yuan to build urban rail transit, including subways, but only a few cities have achieved a balanced urban rail transit operation.

According to incomplete statistics from 28 cities, the average operating cost of urban rail transit in my country was 23.8 yuan per vehicle kilometer, and the operating income was 17.2 yuan. The average operating cost per person kilometer is 0.84 yuan, and the operating income is 0.48 yuan. Only four cities, including Hangzhou, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Beijing, achieved balance of payments in 2017, while the remaining 24 cities were in the red. The full-year operating income-expenditure ratio was only 78%, which was 8% narrower than last year.

Generally speaking, it is still common for urban rail transit to fail to make ends meet, and subways, as the main force of urban rail transit, are not immune. Data shows that the passenger intensity of subway trains in many cities still does not meet the minimum standards.

From the perspective of average daily passenger flow, Beijing is the city with the largest subway passenger flow in the country. In April 2000, the average daily passenger volume of Beijing and Shanghai subways exceeded 10 million, and the average daily passenger volume of 12 cities exceeded 1 million.

But as early as 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a document requiring that the initial load intensity of the proposed subway should not be less than 7,000 passengers per kilometer per day.
