Member of the CPPCC: Bus stop signs should be installed at subway entrances to facilitate connections

In 2020, the third phase of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference's "Easy to Discuss Anything" People's Livelihood Practical Consultation Platform focused on the issue of "bus and subway connections". On March 26, members of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference went to Zhujiang New Town Metro Station and Lijiao Metro Station for investigation.

Some subway station exits need to be close to 1 kilometer before there is a bus stop. At the Guangzhou CPPCC members' livelihood consultation symposium held in December last year, Cui Guanxing, a member of the CPPCC and a researcher at the Municipal Cultural Center, gave an oral speech on "Suggestions on improving the connection between subways and buses in Guangzhou", which also contributed to the The CPPCC "Everything is easy to discuss" People's Livelihood Practical Consultation Platform selected this topic for negotiation.

Cui Guanxing listed some current situations, such as the average distance from the four exits of Lijiao Station of Metro Line 3 to bus stops in all directions, with a walking time of about 10 minutes; Baiyun Metro Line 14 It takes an average of 10 minutes to walk from the exit of Dongping Station to the four transfer bus stations; the distance from Exit D of Tianhe Passenger Transport Station of Metro Line 3 to the Passenger Bus Terminal is 618 meters and takes 8 minutes to walk towards Changxing Road, Yanling Road, etc. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to walk to transfer, and the average transfer distance is more than 500 meters.

She also pointed out that there are currently no corresponding bus lines from the exits of some subway stations to surrounding communities, industrial parks, etc., making the walking distance long and making travel inconvenient. For example, the walking time from Huangcun Station on Metro Line 4 to Liyuan Community is 12 minutes. "With the successive completion and opening of new lines of the Guangzhou Metro, the problem of connections with bus stations along the lines needs to be improved," Cui Guanxing said.

She suggested adjusting some unreasonable settings and relocating bus stations at subway exits in some prosperous areas of the city within short distances to ensure convenient, fast and seamless travel. At the same time, we will rectify and improve the layout and setting of bus transfer stations at the exits of subway stations in the city, so that there will be two-way bus transfer stations within 200 meters of the exit of each subway station.

Cui Guanxing said that Guangzhou can learn from the "Hangzhou experience". For example, the Hangzhou Public Transport Group has opened a subway bus connection branch line? (community micro-bus), focusing on strengthening the people within 3 to 5 kilometers of the subway station and the surrounding area. The connection between dense areas creates a pattern of walking through streets and alleys, and stopping at the drop of a hat.

During the survey on March 26, Cui Guanxing also emphasized a small suggestion of his: install clear signs at each exit of the city’s subway stations, with detailed instructions for each exit’s two-way direction to the nearest bus station. , actual distance and transfer lines. "Nowadays, many citizens don't know the direction to go to the bus station when they walk out of the subway. Maybe when they find the bus station, they will find that they are sitting in the wrong direction."

"The south extension of the APM line to Kecun Station will solve a lot of problems. "Problem"

Zhujiang New Town Station is a "high-traffic" station of Line 3 during peak hours, not far from the "Haixinsha" station of the APM Line. Line 3 and APM Line, two parallel subway lines, have completely different scenes during peak hours: they are so crowded that they can still read books leisurely at the same time.

Therefore, in this survey of members, an important topic is to discuss whether the APM dedicated line can play a role in diversion and diversion.

Based on his own experience, Tan Guojian, a member of the CPPCC and deputy director of the Guangdong Southern Soft Power Research Institute, said that there are relatively few stations on the APM line, which limits certain functions. "The terminal of the APM line reaches Canton Tower, which can play a certain role in diverting traffic. However, due to the large passenger flow at Kecun Station and the design of the site, it leads to congestion." Tan Guojian said that on the one hand, it can enhance the connection between the APM line and the Canton Tower. Connecting vehicles between Line 3 and increasing publicity; on the other hand, you can consider extending the APM line south to Kecun Station, which will solve many problems.

At Exit B of Lijiao Station on Line 3, the bus stops are 200 meters away. Similar situations are rare in Guangzhou. The transportation department is also currently working on the Huandao Road in front of the entrance and exit of the subway station. After the construction is completed, the buses will be moved closer to the subway station.

The area where Lijiao Station is located will be built into "Haizhu Bay", a new waterfront landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area. Several office buildings have already appeared nearby. Zeng Chunhang, a member of the CPPCC and general manager of Tuncheng Construction Property Development Co., Ltd., suggested that subway stations should be built based on the planning ideas of a subway complex, so as to maximize the utilization of time and space.
