Eating and drinking are prohibited in Chengdu subway carriages and violators will be fined up to 200 yuan.

A passenger hurriedly stepped into the carriage with two steamed buns in his hand. After he stood firm, he started to eat. A strong aroma of noodles permeated the carriage and could not dissipate for a long time. This was the scene that Chengdu citizen Xiao Zhu encountered when she was riding Metro Line 1 on the morning of March 27. She tried to stop the passenger several times, but could not muster the courage.

"Is eating allowed in the subway car?" Xiao Zhu's question finally has an answer. On March 29, the second plenary session of the 32nd Session of the Standing Committee of the 12th Provincial People's Congress voted and approved the "Chengdu Urban Rail Transit Management Regulations". The "Regulations" clearly stipulates many long-controversial issues. , such as prohibiting eating in subway carriages, etc.

Lying down in the carriage is prohibited

Violators will be fined from 50 yuan to 200 yuan

The "Regulations" expand the scope of urban rail transit Defined as "subway, light rail, tram, etc."

According to the explanation of the Standing Committee of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Congress, there are two types of rail transportation under construction in Chengdu: subway and tram. Among them, the subway has been in operation for many years, the tram is about to be put into operation, and the light rail and tram Maglev is in the planning and demonstration stage. Based on the actual local conditions and drawing on the experience of other domestic cities, the Regulations define the scope of urban rail transit as “subways, light rails, trams, etc.”

Since the "Regulations" were publicly solicited for opinions in 2016, the issue of whether food can be eaten in the carriage has been controversial. Article 39 of the "Regulations" passed by the vote clearly stipulates that "eating in the carriage" is prohibited.

The reporter learned that the rule of fasting in the subway is not unique to Chengdu, but refers to the experience of other cities. Starting from July 2014, the Nanjing Metro has explicitly stipulated that eating and drinking is prohibited in the carriages, and eating is also prohibited in the subways of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places.

Regulations include no smoking, spitting, defecation, chewing gum, and littering of peels, paper scraps, packaging and other waste; no lying down, begging, and collecting waste items; no stepping on seats , chasing and fighting, playing musical instruments; it is prohibited to set up stalls, park vehicles, pile up debris, perform performances, distribute promotional materials or engage in sales activities without authorization.

It is forbidden to bring folding bicycles into the station

After turning off the power of the small balance bike, adjust it to the power-assisted mode and use it with bare hands. Pull the handle and you can carry it as luggage on the subway.

In addition to the controversy over eating, whether you can bring folding bicycles into the station has also been a matter of concern. Previously, Chengdu citizens specifically consulted on this issue and learned that in Hangzhou and Shenzhen, folding bicycles can be packed into the subway. In addition, can balance bikes enter the subway? Chengdu Metro Company has responded to this, saying that folding bicycles may cause safety hazards to other passengers and subway equipment.

The results of the legislative hearing of the Standing Committee of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Congress also showed that although carrying folding bicycles is in line with the development concept of green travel, low-carbon and environmental protection, in relatively closed rail transit carriages, even if they are folded, they still hinder traffic. and the possibility of causing harm to people. With the development of Chengdu's rail transit construction and the vigorous promotion of new public transportation modes such as "shared bicycles", the "last mile" problem of citizens' travel can be solved through a variety of methods. Solution.

Therefore, the "Regulations" finally stipulates that "it is prohibited to add additional instructions. Folding bicycles are properly packaged and can enter the station as long as they meet the requirements for carrying luggage.

It is worth mentioning that " There is no mention of self-balancing scooters in the Regulations. According to the security inspection staff at the Cultural Palace Station and the Second Municipal Hospital Station of Metro Line 4, small self-balancing scooters can be used as luggage after turning off the power and adjusting the handles with bare hands. Take the subway with you. However, you cannot ride it on the platform or in the carriage, otherwise it will be handled according to relevant regulations. It is worth noting that the size and weight of the balance car also have corresponding regulations.

Balance bikes weighing more than 30 kilograms and exceeding 1.6 meters in length are not allowed.

In addition, the prohibited list also mentions that "the only animals allowed to enter the station are guide dogs, provided that "guide dogs with guide dog certificates and animal health and immunity certificates" are prohibited ".

There are special seats for infants and young children

Facilities should meet the needs of the elderly

The "Regulations" require that "in the train Set up special seats for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and passengers with infants and young children.

The "Regulations" require urban rail transit operating units to set up special seats for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant passengers in trains. and special seats for passengers with infants and young children.”

On the afternoon of March 29, after citizen Ms. Tang got on the train with her 7-month-old daughter from Huaxiba Station on Metro Line 1, no one stood up to offer her a seat in the packed carriage. "After standing for a few times, an aunt who was about to get off the bus offered me her seat." This made Ms. Tang feel that there was a reminder that there were special seats for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, but some people just didn't realize it. "

In this regard, citizen Kuang Xiaobin also has his own opinion, "The passenger seats should be more eye-catching so as to remind passengers. Many passengers have no idea they are sitting in a reserved seat. "

Today, the "Regulations" not only clarify the requirements for setting up special seats for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, but also add "special seats for passengers carrying infants and young children".

< p> The "Regulations" also added more provisions on humanistic care, such as stipulating that "the design and construction of access facilities at urban rail transit stations should meet the access needs of the elderly and disabled people." ”

What to do if fare evasion is malicious?

The maximum fine for malicious fare evasion is 200 yuan

What is particularly noteworthy is that the Regulations impose The definition and punishment of passengers’ ticket violation responsibilities.

According to the results of previous legislative hearings, those who make up for the excess fare are also classified as fare evasion. It is considered that there is no subjective malice, so this category is stipulated. In this case, the rail transit operating unit will charge the fare according to the maximum single-way fare on the exit (gate) station line network, and there will be no penalty measures. Due to the greater subjective malice of "fare evasion", in addition to the above-mentioned regulations.
