The marriage of public railways makes the "last mile" more convenient

On the morning of February 16, Fan Jinxiang, whose home is in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, boarded a high-speed train to the north, and his destination was Pei county in Jiangsu Province, nearly 700 kilometers away from Wuxi, where the factory he invested in was built. At 11:45, Fan Jinxiang got off at Xuzhou East Station of the high-speed railway, entered the outbound passage and turned left, went straight to Xuzhou Passenger Bus East Station to transfer, and after 30 minutes, Fan Jinxiang boarded a bus bound for Pei County.

After getting off the train and taking the car "one-stop direct" to the destination, this transportation concept and mode has always been yearning for the majority of passengers and friends. In particular, at present, the total mileage of China's high-speed rail operation has reached 19,000 kilometers, and the rapid passenger transport network formed together with other railways basically covers more than 500,000 people. Especially in the Yangtze River Delta urban circle, a large-scale high-speed rail transit mode has been formed, and the travel distance and time of everyone have been greatly shortened.

However, it is undeniable that in the territory of nearly 1.4 billion people and 9.6 million square kilometers, the existing modes of transportation such as railways, highways, water transport and air are far from meeting the needs of the people, and this contradiction is more and more prominent during the Spring Festival every year. Take Mr. Fan's transfer to the Xuzhou high-speed rail area, due to the distance from the main urban area of Xuzhou, the surrounding commercial and other supporting facilities have just started, once the railway and highway connection is not smooth, it will bring many inconveniences to passengers, especially in the Spring Festival and other peak passenger flow periods, the number of passengers who go out to work, do business, visit relatives, and study increases, the drawbacks and deficiencies are obvious, and similar problems exist more or less in other places.

The public railway marriage mode adopted by Xuzhou Station has greatly alleviated this contradiction and facilitated many problems faced by passengers such as travel transfer and transit. In fact, the public railway marriage has appeared long ago, when the railway department has proposed to solve the "last kilometer of passengers and cargo owners". Subsequently, there has been a variety of logistics methods "seamless docking" road and railway multimodal cargo intermodal transport cooperation, through which logistics efficiency is greatly improved and the total logistics cost of enterprises is reduced.

In fact, in the early days, roads and railways can be described as natural enemies, who can seize a larger share of transportation in the transportation market, who will get more transportation revenue, so there will be a vicious competitive atmosphere in which you compete with each other and even compete. With the diversification of the market economic system, especially the increase in private cars, the original transportation system has been broken, forcing the railway and highway couples to begin to re-examine themselves and each other and seek a new mode of transport operation, which has led to the emergence of road and railway multimodal cargo transport cooperation, which has been developed to today's public railway passenger transport marriage model.

It is not difficult to imagine how comfortable we are when we get off the train and then easily change to our favorite car and reach our destination in the shortest possible time, whether you are studying, negotiating or visiting relatives and friends, we will face it in a pleasant state.

The public-railway marriage cooperation model not only facilitates passenger travel, realizes the win-win benefits of road and railway transportation, but also makes a model for cross-industry collaboration in the future, we look forward to and firmly believe that this cooperation method is more and more perfect, so that we, the cargo owners and passengers, make the last kilometer more convenient and fast.
