Will the subway stop when the power goes out?

* * Yes, in case of power failure, the subway will stop. Subway systems rely on electricity to drive trains and run other facilities, such as lighting and air conditioning. If there is a power outage, the subway train will not be able to continue running, and passengers may have to wait in the dark until the power is restored or the relevant personnel provide guidance.

Although the subway system usually has a standby power supply, it can automatically switch to the standby power supply to continue power supply in case of power failure. In this way, the subway can continue to run. However, if the standby power supply also fails, or the subway cannot continue to operate safely due to the degree of failure, then the subway may still be shut down.

In addition, some subway stations may have independent generators or energy storage devices to provide electricity in case of power failure and ensure the normal operation of facilities and lighting in the stations. However, this may also be limited by factors such as equipment failure and maintenance requirements, and it cannot guarantee continuous power supply.

It should be noted that although the subway will try its best to maintain its operation in case of power failure, due to safety and other factors, the subway may not be able to continue its operation in some cases. In these cases, the subway may stop to evacuate passengers.

Generally speaking, although the subway system will try its best to maintain its operation in the case of power failure, there are still various factors that may affect the operation of the subway. Therefore, if the subway fails, the safest and most reliable way is to follow the instructions and guidance of the subway staff.
