In many people's minds, Fangshan, located southwest of Beijing, has always been a "distant" existence, especially for residents in the eastern and northern parts of Beijing. But you may not know that taking the subway from Fangshan Changyang to Zhongguancun in the north and Guomao in the east only takes one hour including the transfer time. In recent years, in order to facilitate residents' travel and develop the regional economy, Fangshan District has not only more road networks, but also subway lines and intercity trains. Today's Fangshan, whether it is commuting to work or going around, the convenience of transportation has been greatly improved. Not only that, with the opening of the Beijing-Xiong Expressway to the Fifth Ring Road, Fangshan District is building Liangxiang East Road, which is interconnected with the Beijing-Xiong Expressway, and the planning level is the main road of the city, and after the opening, residents will be more convenient to travel.
Commuter 记
One hour straight to Zhongguancun is how it is refined
●The northern section of Line 9 runs through the "networked" Fangshan Line
● It only takes one hour to reach Zhongguancun from Fangshan
For many people, the first factor to consider when buying a house is the surrounding traffic. With daily commuting between work and home, the need for daily commuting is more urgent than any other need. Although the change and improvement of the transportation network was not achieved overnight, it also made many first-time people feel that Fangshan, located in the southwest, is not far from the city.
As the first choice for many people to commute, Fangshan's development in public transportation, especially rail transit, in the past ten years has made it possible to commute in half an hour from Fangshan to popular areas such as Lize Business District, Liuliqiao, and Beijing West Railway Station.
Citizen Guo Ang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he had traveled in the Fangshan subway for so many years. "When the Fangshan Line was first opened, it could only be said that talk was better than nothing. Although the terminal at that time was Fengtai, it could not be connected anywhere, and if you went to the city, you had to change trains. Especially going back to Fangshan, it is very inconvenient. I remember that many people who worked in the city at that time still chose to go to Liuliqiao to share black cars. Guo Ang sighed that at that time, if he wanted to transfer with other lines, he had to take a bus.
The bus Guo Ang said was Beijing Bus No. 1, and the main function of this bus was to ferry passengers from Dabaotai Station, the terminus of the Fangshan Line at that time, to Xingong Station of Line 4. In this way, the Fangshan Line is connected to other subway lines in Beijing. The route ended its historic mission on December 30, 2012. With the opening of the northern section of Beijing Metro Line 9 for trial operation, the Fangshan Line has ended the situation of being off the grid, and the bus Pro 1 has also been cancelled simultaneously.
"After passing Line 9, we really realized the convenience of subway travel. Like me, I basically don't drive to work. It's faster to take the subway, and it takes an hour to get from home to work. Guo Ang said that taking the subway saved him a lot of worry when he worked in Zhongguancun, and he could also watch dramas on the road, which relieved the fatigue of the day. But the fly in the ointment is that there are too many people transferring to Line 9.
"You won't be able to get up when you wait for one, and when there are many people, they will hug you and squeeze into the car. Have you seen the video of the morning rush hour of Tiantongyuan Station on the Internet? It is the one with a sea of people, and I think Guo Gongzhuang is similar. According to the 2019 Beijing Metro passenger flow statistics, the overall two-hour arrival volume of the Fangshan Line in the morning peak reached 89,000 passengers, of which 94% of the passengers transferred to Line 9 at Guogongzhuang Station.
These conditions were also alleviated on the last day of 2020, when the northern extension of the Fangshan Line was officially put into operation. Guo Ang no longer has to squeeze Line 9 at Guogongzhuang Station, he can take the Fangshan Line all the way to the north and transfer directly to Line 10 at Shoujingmao Station. "In the past, the Fangshan Line was transferred to Line 9 and then to Line 10, and now the Fangshan Line is directly transferred to Line 10. From Fangshan to Zhongguancun to work, you can get there in one hour. Guo Ang said.
Not only that, but the subway line that will facilitate the travel of Fangshan residents is still under construction. At the beginning of 2023, the Fangshan Line and Line 9 will be put into operation across the line. During the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, passengers on the Fangshan Line who choose to run across the line will not have to change at Guogongzhuang, but can sit all the way to the National Library Station. Although this has no impact on Guo Ang, except for paying attention to the choice of trains. But for his neighbors who work near Shiraishibashi, commuting to work is too convenient. "Getting on the subway is equivalent to going to the company. Went out on time and was never late again. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the Yanfang Line and the Fangshan Line of Fangshan District Rail Transit were opened to traffic, which greatly improved the travel conditions of Fangshan Rail Transit.
History of the Exodus
Two special trains, one fast and one slow, meet across time and space
●The sub-center line is extended to the west, and the ticket price is up to 5% off
●It takes only 20 minutes to reach the city
In addition to the subway, the most notable feature in Fangshan District is the railway. As Beijing's former mining base, Fangshan has a long history of railway construction.
For many post-70s and post-80s Fangshan people, if they wanted to go to the city to play when they were young, in addition to the 28 bars that their father could ride to smoke, it was the train. For a few cents, you can take the green train to the Yongdingmen Railway Station at that time, and then take the bus, whether it is a park, a museum or a store to buy things, it is a good memory of childhood.
Although the train has been unable to keep up with the pace of daily commuting as the city has accelerated, Fangshan, which was famous for its minerals in the early years, still has a railway line that continues to operate, but it serves more short-distance travel than the original function. Among them, the famous green train 6437 trains, passing through Yanshan, Yunju Temple, Shidu, Yesanpo more than 10 scenic spots, this train to the four seasons, stringing up the most beautiful scenery of Fangshan District, often full every weekend, the number of people transported is no less than the Spring Festival.
In 2020, Fangshan District will have its own suburban railway line - the west extension of the sub-center line of Beijing suburban railway will be put into operation. The maximum running speed of 200 km/h has made the Fangshan train famous for being "slow" a thing of the past. This line connects Fangshan, southwest of Beijing, to Tongzhou, southeast of Beijing, in just one hour. At present, the line also has two stations, Beijing West Railway Station and Beijing Railway Station, which can also go directly to the downtown area of Beijing, and this part of the time is even as short as 20 minutes.
Not only the cost of time, the ticket price of the whole railway line is only 8 yuan, and a certain amount of money can be discounted within a natural month, with a maximum of 5% off. And compared to the crowds on the subway, the suburban railway can be described as "spacious".
Not only that, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that this line will also add Changyang Station in the near future, adding a new choice for residents in the eastern part of Fangshan District.
acceleration
Jingxiong through the self-driving bus is up to you
●The western section of Jingliang Road and the Beijing section of Jingxiong Expressway were opened to traffic
● Add 2 more fast lanes into the city
For many people who like to travel by car, Fangshan is really a rare destination in the suburbs of Beijing: the area is vast, there are mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant, because the tourism development is early, and the various facilities are quite complete. Not only that, but the transportation into Fangshan from all directions of Beijing is also very convenient. However, for those who have to go to work in the urban area, although the construction of the road network in Fangshan is already very rich, the tidal concentrated traffic still makes the commuting road a little "blocked". Among them, the congestion of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the main road of "entering Beijing", has always been a big problem, and even Dujiakan, where the toll station is located, has become the "Uncle Du" ridiculed by residents because of traffic jams.
Cui Wei, who lives in the northern part of Liangxiang, drives to work every day. His route is to go to the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, take the 5th Ring Road at Dujiakan, and then take Fushi Road to the company located in the North 4th Ring Road. For Cui Wei, there are two situations for this trip: the traffic jam that is completely unable to grasp the time and the arrival at the company in an hour without traffic jam. Cui Wei's wife, Guo Ya, made a much simpler choice - go out and take bus 616 to Beijing West Railway Station. This is a bus line that goes directly to the expressway after leaving Fangshan District, and one stop goes directly to Liuliqiao. "Although we also have to go to Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao, there are bus lanes during the morning rush hour, so you don't have to worry about congestion at all, and you can get there in more than half an hour. ”
On top of the existing infrastructure, prioritizing the development of public transportation is the choice made by Fangshan District. As of the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the public transport reform in Fangshan District has been basically completed, and the adjustment of the bus network and the establishment of village buses (buses) have been continuously promoted. A fence house passenger transport hub has been built to facilitate the rapid transfer of regional transportation. There are 123 ground bus lines in Fangshan District, 25 kilometers of bus lanes and 32 bus stations.
In addition to public transportation, some residents in the eastern part of the house also choose to use the 5th Ring Road on Jingliang Road to avoid congestion. The urban expressway, which opened to traffic in 2016, is extending its mileage. Beiqing Daily reporter learned that the western section of Jingliang Road as a municipal key project, the road is 3.73 kilometers long, from the west of the West Sixth Ring Road Beijing-Kunming Expressway main line toll station, east to Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, after the completion of Fangshan will add a fast channel connected with the central urban area, greatly improving the travel efficiency of residents in the jurisdiction.
The Jingxiong Expressway (Beijing Section) will be opened to traffic by the end of 2023. The opening of this expressway can not only alleviate the traffic pressure of the southwest region into the urban area of Beijing, but also add a new expressway passage connecting the central urban area and the Xiong'an New Area, and further highlight the role of Fangshan District as a strategic fulcrum in the development axis of Beijing-Baoshi. The Liangxiang East Road (Qingyuan North Street ~ Jingshen Road) road project under construction is located in the east of Liangxiang District, Fangshan District, starting from Qingyuan North Street in the west and Jingshen Road in the east, with a total length of about 2.2 kilometers, and the planned road grade is the main road of the city.
Of course, for Fangshan District, the construction of a more detailed road network is convenient for the people and an important part of development. Beiqing Daily reporter learned that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Fangshan District actively promoted the construction of highways and urban roads, adding 232.3 kilometers of highways, and basically formed a trunk road network with Beijing, Hong Kong, Macao, Beijing-Kunming, and West Sixth Ring Road, G107, G108, G230, G234 four national highways, and Laibao Road, Liushi Road, and Shixia Road.
memoir
The road back to his parents' home for a "new Fangshan man".
● Twenty years ago, Tongzhou to Fangshan was a one-way trip of 3 hours
● Now it only takes an hour
Tan Lan is a "new Fangshan person", as a Tongzhou daughter-in-law who has been married to Fangshan for nearly 20 years, she has the deepest feeling about the changes in Fangshan's transportation, especially public transportation.
In 2004, when she was still in love, she went to her boyfriend's house to meet her parents. "He came to me before, it was the first time I went to Fangshan, there was no subway on both sides at that time, and I went to his house, and I wanted to break up. Tan Lan said that this trip she went out at 7 o'clock in the morning and arrived at her boyfriend's house at noon, which took more than 3 hours each way. After eating lunch and chatting for a while, she hurried back again, and when she got home, it was dark. What impressed Tan Lan the most about this trip was that the day before she went, her boyfriend deliberately used his own troubles about taking the bus to tell her that she must go to the toilet before taking the bus, otherwise the road will be very hard. Now, she and her boyfriend, who was almost broken up because of Lu Yuan, have been married for more than ten years, and recalling the experience of the first trip to Fangshan, it has also become a joke between the husband and wife.
After getting married, Tan Lan wanted to go back to her mother's house in Tongzhou, but at first she had to "get up early and be greedy for darkness". "At that time, my mother was very distressed that I was tired on the road, and she was afraid that I would be too far away and did not want to come back to see her often. Every time I come back, I will say that I am married far away. I haven't even given my husband a good face for a while. ”
Later, Tan Lan's family bought a car, and although the distance did not change, the time to return to her parents' home was shortened by nearly half. Later, Tongzhou and Fangshan were successively connected to the city railway and subway, and the Beijing subway network was gradually connected to each other. Even if she doesn't drive, it will only take an hour and a half for Tan Lan to take the subway back to her parents' house. With the opening of the western extension of the suburban railway city sub-center line in 2020, Tan Lan's time to return to her parents' home has been shortened again. "Taking the train back to my mom takes only an hour, and it costs a few dollars, saving time, money and effort. Sometimes my mom would make something delicious for me to take home. When I got home, the packed meals were still hot. ”
Draw a blueprint
The rail network continues to be upgraded, and these are planned
●The main skeleton of the external "two horizontal and three vertical" highway network is basically formed
●The internal road network and public transportation will be upgraded to a new level
Tan Lan's experience is just a microcosm of Fangshan's efforts to benefit from the improvement of Fangshan's transportation network, especially public transportation, in recent years. This year, Fangshan District's road network and public transportation will reach a new level.
A reporter from Beiqing Daily learned at the two sessions in Fangshan District at the beginning of 2023 that Fangshan District will speed up the construction of the overall upgrading project of the suburban railway city sub-center line, and promote the preliminary work of the Fangshan section of the new city liaison line (S6); In the preliminary work of Changshuang Road, eight main and secondary trunk roads in the central area of Liangxiang Town were opened to traffic, and the construction of transportation infrastructure was improved, and 116 lines passed through Fangshan District, of which 68 were commissioned by Fangshan District.
In terms of external transportation in the Fangshan area, Fangshan District will basically take shape during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period to make the main framework of the "two horizontal and three vertical" highway network basically take shape, promote the interconnection of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei highways, coordinate the connection of cross-district roads, and open up the passage between Fangshan and the neighboring new cities.
In terms of roads, the Jingxiong Expressway has been completed, and the construction of Yanhe Road, Weiyong Road West Extension, G107, Changshuang Road and other highways has been coordinated and promoted, and the preliminary work of G108 Phase III and Fangyi Road has been promoted. In terms of internal roads in the Fangshan area, the western section of Jingliang Road has been completed, and the preliminary work of the western extension of Jingliang Road, Kaixuan Street, and the southern extension of Changyu Road has been studied and promoted, and the road connection between Liangxiang, Yanfang, and Doudian groups has been strengthened. Promote the northern extension of Guba Road, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of Shengnan Road, Yanhe Road, G108, and mountainous peripheral lines.
In addition, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Fangshan District will open up a number of dead-end roads and implement a number of microcirculation transformation projects every year. For example, combined with the construction of key projects such as Liangxiang University Town, BOE Life Science and Technology Industrial Base, and New Material Industry Base, and the transformation of shantytowns in the 0607 block of Changyang Town, the construction sequence of surrounding supporting secondary roads and branch roads will be coordinated. Accelerate the preliminary work of the east extension of Liangxiang East Road and other roads. In terms of external rail transit, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period in Fangshan District, the overall upgrading project of the suburban railway city sub-center line (western section) will be implemented, and the planning and construction of the western section of the S6 line of the new city liaison line (Huangliang Railway) will be studied and promoted, so as to strengthen the connection between Fangshan and foreign rail transit. Accelerate the construction of Changyang Station, and study and promote the planning and construction of Nanguan Station, Doudian Station, and Liulihe Station.
In addition, Fangshan District will also grasp the advantages of railways in the region, promote the use of the surplus capacity of existing railways such as the Jingyuan Line, Liangchen Line, and Huangliang Line to open suburban railways, and improve the operational efficiency of suburban railways in the region. Take the opportunity to promote the Jingyuan Line of the suburban railway, support the quality development of tourist attractions such as Zhoukoudian, Shidu, and Yunju Temple, and serve the construction of international tourism and leisure areas.
Fangshan District also plans to speed up the planning and construction of the rail micro-center of Liangxiang Station, and plan to quickly transfer with the Fangshan line of rail transit. Promote the construction of the Yanfang Line branch line, promote the Fangshan Line and the Yanfang Line to achieve through-operation and speed up the transformation, and facilitate the rapid connection between Fangshan, Yanshan and the central urban area.
In terms of ground public transportation, Fangshan District will also promote the optimization of regional bus route networks and promote the integration of public transportation and rail networks. Strengthen the radiation of public transportation to the outside of the region, and increase the number of bus routes to neighboring areas. Improve the public transport connection between key functional areas such as Liangxiang University Town, tourist attractions, rail transit stations and residential groups, and improve the supply of public transport in the main direction of commuting and tourism. Accelerate the innovation of public transport service models, promote diversified public transport services such as micro-circulation routes, customized buses, business shuttles, seasonal tourist lines, and fast direct lines, and improve the coverage and service quality of regional bus route networks. With the update and upgrading of vehicles, the real-time bus inquiry service will gradually expand the coverage of routes.
