With the arrival of summer, more and more citizens choose the subway for commuting. In order to ensure the smooth travel of passengers during peak hours, starting from today (May 11), BJMTR Line 14 will increase its peak capacity on weekdays by departing in advance of the morning and evening peaks and encrypting the frequency of trains. At the same time, the Beijing Metro Corporation will start to send empty trains at Shuangjing Station of Line 10 during the morning rush hour to ease the pressure on passenger flow.

"The train to Shangezhuang is about to enter the station...... "At less than 7 o'clock in the morning, there are about 2 to 3 passengers waiting for the train on the platform of Jiangtai Station of Metro Line 14, in front of each screen door, and there are still empty seats in the car when a train enters the station.
Ms. Zheng, a passenger who commutes by Line 14 every day, said that there are fewer passengers waiting for the train, and the waiting time is shorter. "After waiting for 1 or 2 minutes, the car came soon, and the car seemed to be relatively empty today, basically there were seats, and everyone must have been standing before."

The section from Lize Business District Station to Shangezhuang Station of Line 14 departs in advance in the morning and evening peaks, and the frequency of encrypted trains is encrypted to meet the travel needs of commuters.
Niu Zhaoshun, stationmaster of Jiangtai Station of BJMTR Line 14, said that the morning peak of trains from Lize Business District Station to Shangezhuang was advanced by 19 minutes, and the train interval was gradually shortened from the original 9 minutes to 5 minutes, and gradually shortened to 3 minutes. The morning peak from Sanger to Lize Business District was 23 minutes earlier, and the evening rush hour was 12 minutes earlier from Lize Business District Station to Sanger Bracket, which can transport more than 7,000 passengers during the morning peak and more than 3,700 passengers than usual during the upward evening rush hour.

"The train to the direction of Guomao is about to enter the station...... "At more than 8:20 in the morning, it is the morning peak hour of Shuangjing Station of Metro Line 10, and there are more than a dozen passengers lined up in front of each screen door in the direction of Guomao.
The passengers sighed, "I came to line up directly to the opposite side every morning, and I may not be able to go up after several cars, and it is particularly crowded when I go up, I have waited for 8 cars before, and I still squeezed up, and recently added this car stuck at this point very good, and I can put everyone standing outside to come up." "I was surprised today, I got on the bus all of a sudden, and the car was empty, which was amazing."
With the dispatch of this empty train, the number of passengers waiting in line on the subsequent platforms has been significantly reduced. Hu Bin, deputy head of Guomao Station of Beijing Metro Line 10, said that the transfer volume of Shuangjing Station during the morning rush hour is relatively large, nearly 20,000 people, of which 70% are transferred from Line 7 to Line 10, and 90% of these transfer passengers are going to Guomao. The platform of Shuangjing Station is relatively narrow, only 9 meters wide, resulting in a serious backlog of passengers on the platform, so between 8:20 and 8 and a half in the morning rush hour, an empty train from Shuangjing Station can transport about 1,000 people, and the effect is very obvious.

After the measures to increase the number of trains on March 19, Shuangjing Station of Line 7 no longer needs to take passenger detour and flow restriction measures. Liu Wei, deputy head of Guangqumenwai Station District of Beijing Metro Line 7, said that Line 7 is an 8-car group, and Line 10 is a 6-car group, so our transfer passenger flow is relatively large, and when there were more passengers on Line 10 in the past, Line 7 will take measures to detour and limit the flow of passengers. After the implementation of an empty train during peak hours, Line 7 did not limit the flow, and the pressure on the transfer organization was reduced a lot, and the effect was still very good.
