Nowadays the subway has become an indispensable means of transportation in our daily lives, the world's first subway was born in London, England, in 1863 when it was officially opened, after the subway this novel means of transportation began to quickly go to the world, as a large infrastructure country and a populous country, China naturally has a broad demand for the subway, but because the construction of the subway has a severe test of a city's economy, so there is no strong funds, many cities are not willing to try to build the subway, But this still can not stop the citizens' yearning for the subway, today we want to introduce to you is the subway construction pressed the "stop button", what is the reason? Let's take a look at it.
First of all, the subway in the third-tier cities has been almost all stopped, the main reason is that the economy of the third-tier cities is not as strong as the first- and second-tier cities, coupled with the relatively small flow of people, after the completion of the subway construction, it is difficult to return the cost in the short term, in addition to various urban construction also need funds, for this kind of loss of money to earn the behavior, naturally to stop in time.
Many cities that have built subways have also been in a state of loss in recent years, ranking first is Chengdu, known as the country of Tianfu, in 2020, the actual loss of Chengdu Metro reached 7.565 billion yuan, followed by the Beijing subway, the loss amount reached 7.3 billion yuan, followed by Nanjing, Changchun, Ningbo, Qingdao and other well-known cities, also ushered in different degrees of losses.
One of the main reasons is that due to the sharp increase in the number of private cars, the travel mode of many citizens has been changed, coupled with the relatively low fare of the subway, and the construction cost is so high, while facilitating the travel of citizens, the city's finances are also under great pressure.
Nowadays, we have rarely been able to see the news of the construction of subways in major cities, and perhaps in the future there will be a more convenient and lower cost means of transportation that can change the way citizens travel, so let's wait and see.
