Line 7 will be put into trial operation on the 6th, and Chengdu Metro will enter the era of ＂well+ring＂ network.
On December 4th, citizens experienced Chengdu Metro Line 7 in advance. (Reporter Hao Fei photo) On December 4th, the Information Office of Chengdu Municipal Government announced that with the approval of Chengdu Municipal Government, Chengdu’s first subway ring line, Line 7, will be officially put into trial operation at 9: 00 am on December 6th, 2017.
The trial operation of this line marks that the backbone of rail transit in the central city of Chengdu has become a network, and Chengdu Metro has officially entered the era of "well+ring" network. As the backbone loop connecting the comprehensive transportation hub, Line 7 has broken through many records in the history of Chengdu rail transit, and its opening is of great significance to improve the operation framework of the network, improve the accessibility of the network, promote the smooth congestion of the city, and guide green travel.
With the trial operation of Line 7, the mileage of Chengdu Metro will reach 179 kilometers. At present, 11 lines of Chengdu rail transit are under construction at the same time, with a mileage of 368 kilometers, and the construction intensity ranks among the top in the country.
Faster
There are 8 transfer stations on Line 7, and it takes about 66 minutes to complete a lap.
Metro Line 7 is the first closed circular line in Chengdu, located in the circular traffic corridor with the densest residential land between the Second and Third Ring Roads. It connects chengdu railway station, Chengdu East Railway Station, Chengdu South Railway Station and Chengbei Passenger Transport Center in series, and forms a transfer relationship with urban rapid rail transit and urban rail transit radiation. The total length of the line is 38.6 kilometers, with 31 underground stations, forming 8 interchange stations with the existing subway line.
Chengdu Metro Line 7, which was built by China Railway, has taken on many "first" responsibilities since its planning and design: it is the longest line opened in Chengdu Metro at one time, with the largest number of stations and the largest number of transfer stations at one time. According to the latest network planning revealed by the Chengdu Municipal Government Information Office, there will be 22 transfer stations on Line 7 in the future.
Line 7 adopts a single loop operation organization mode, and the new concept of "inner/outer ring" is first introduced. The inner ring runs clockwise and the outer ring runs counterclockwise, and the lines of the outer ring and the inner ring do not overlap.
At the beginning of its opening, Line 7 was equipped with 44 vehicles. The vehicle is a 6-section A-type vehicle with a maximum running speed of 80km/h, which is 30% higher than that of the existing vehicles used in Line 1-4. It is the largest train in Chengdu Metro at present, and its facilities and equipment such as signal, vehicle, interior and traction have all been truly "made in Chengdu".
After the trial operation of Line 7, the inner ring of North Railway Station-chengdu east railway station-South Railway Station-North Railway Station takes about 66 minutes. Combined with the operation characteristics of the loop line and the capacity matching of the line network, the minimum train interval during the peak period of Line 7 is 3 minutes and 30 seconds at the initial stage of opening.
More convenient
The fare is still starting from 2 yuan, and you can buy tickets with WeChat Alipay.
The initial operation time of Line 7 is 06:15-22:55, and the operation time will be adjusted later according to the actual situation of passenger flow. After the opening, the fare will still start from 2 yuan. Due to the increase of transfer routes, the transfer distance between lines will be shortened, and the network fare will be reduced. For example, the fare from chengdu east railway station to South Railway Station will be reduced from 5 yuan to 4 yuan.
In order to adapt to the daily management under the network operation mode, the COCC ("super brain") project of Chengdu Metro will also be put into use simultaneously when Line 7 is opened. In addition to real-time display of network, passenger flow and major fault information, it can also be combined with historical data to give an early warning of passenger flow.
The automatic ticket vending machines in all stations of Line 7 have added the function of mobile payment, which has realized the business of purchasing tickets and recharging with WeChat and Alipay QR codes. At the same time, all stations of the line that has been opened for operation have also realized the mobile payment ticket purchasing function of all automatic ticket vending machines, and truly realized the full coverage of mobile payment of all subway stations in the whole network.
In order to meet the increasing experience needs of passengers, the new version of official website and APP of Chengdu Metro was officially launched yesterday. Log in to the new version of official website, which can quickly realize the query of key functions such as transfer scheme, stations and surrounding areas, planning and construction. The official APP of Chengdu Metro has also launched 18 practical functions, such as travel route planning and selection, network congestion display, transfer guidance, lost and found, and emergency information push. In the APP, passengers can choose the best travel route by checking the congestion of the route.
Synchronous broadcast
Chengdu Metro Line 7 is about to open, and the reporter’s test ride experience-
Comfort! You can take all subway lines without leaving the station.
Chengdu’s first subway ring line, Line 7, will be officially opened for trial operation on December 6th. On the afternoon of the 4th, Chengdu Metro Operation Company invited 30 representatives of citizens to try out Line 7.
The reporter’s experience found that under the pattern of "well+ring" network, it is more convenient to transfer, and all lines of the network can be transferred without leaving the station.
Comfortable and stable ride, more humanized service.
What is the "well+ring" network? Zhang Zipeng, deputy director of the new line department of Chengdu Metro Operation Company, took out the network map of Chengdu Metro: Metro Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 formed an irregular "well" shape, and Line 7 was surrounded by these five lines. "The loop line and the ray intersect, and there are more transfer points." Zhang Zipeng said that you can easily transfer to all the subway lines that have been opened without leaving the station on Line 7.
The reporter found that there are 31 stations on Line 7, and there are 8 transfer stations, which can be transferred with the opened subway line. "There will be 22 transfer stations on Line 7 in the future." Zhang Zipeng said.
It is not only convenient, but also saves money. After the opening of Line 7, the fare will still start from 2 yuan. "Because there are more transfer stations and the transfer distance between lines is shortened, the average fare of the network will decrease." Zhang Zipeng said.
On the same day, I experienced the inner ring line. The reporter got on the bus at Huaishu Store. The train ran smoothly and felt comfortable. The backpacks and purses placed beside me did not move because of the acceleration of the train. After passing through chengdu east railway station, South Railway Station, North Railway Station and other stations, it takes 66 minutes to complete a lap.
Line 7 is the first "endless" line in Chengdu Metro. The reporter saw that there are obvious signs of inner and outer rings at stations and trains, so don’t worry about taking the wrong bus.
Humanization is also a major feature. Compared with Lines 1-4, the carriages of Line 7 are wider, with 3 rows of handrails and more pull rings in each carriage.
With the increase of passenger flow, the crowded stations are transformed.
Convenient transfer will greatly increase the passenger flow. According to the analysis of Chengdu Rail Transit Group Co., Ltd., a considerable part of the increased passenger flow will be concentrated in transfer stations, especially the North Railway Station, chengdu east railway station and other stations.
The morning rush hour of Line 1 has been seriously congested. If the passenger flow increases again, will it be "blocked and blocked"? At the South Railway Station where Line 1 and Line 7 changed, Liu Wei, deputy director of Station No.1 Center of Chengdu Metro Operation Company, held out a thick stack of data maps and told reporters: "According to the previous analysis, the South Railway Station has undergone a large passenger flow transformation."
According to the heat map analysis, there will be three "blocking points" at the South Railway Station: the station hall of Line 1, the station hall where Line 1 and Line 7 transfer, and the escalator to the station hall of Line 7. In order to divert and block points, internal and external measures have been taken: internally, the first is the transformation of the station hall, which has expanded 3000 square meters in the "two wings" of the original station hall; The second is to add more staff. During the peak period, there will be more than 80 staff and security guards to guide passengers to take the bus. Externally, bus No.2 has been added to connect with the South Railway Station, and the bus line is parallel to Metro Line 1, which can directly reach Tianfu Third Street and Tianfu Fifth Street.
