Why does Xi subway senior citizen card restrict the use of Saturday and Sunday peak hours?

This is because during the rush hour, there are many young people commuting and the carriages are crowded. The old man takes the subway at this time, which poses a safety hazard.

Since the opening of Xi subway on September 6th, 201/,it has been stipulated that senior citizen cards cannot be used in the morning and evening rush hours (7: 00-9: 00, 17: 00- 19: 00).

The reason for this regulation is mainly because there are more young people commuting to and from work during peak hours, and the carriages are crowded. Because the elderly are weak, slow in movement and reaction, they often can't get on or off the bus, especially many elderly people are accompanied by diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Being in a crowded and closed space for a long time has great security risks.
