Beijing Subway Line 10 completed, and Line 14 opens for Garden Expo

matt — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:49:46 +0000

May 2013 brings two new openings for the Beijing Subway! Beijing Subway Line 10, a major loop line around the city opened at the start of 2013, but two stations were missing. Those two stations: Fengtai Railway Station and Niwa are now ready for passengers. That means you can now take a subway train all the way around the loop – a full circuit takes over 1.5 hours! Train frequency has also been increased to a headway of 2 minutes 15 seconds at peak times.

There’s also a brand new subway line, Line 14 heads west from Xiju station (interchange with line 10), running 12.6km to its terminus at Zhangguozhuang (张郭庄). Line 14 has 6 stations in the initial phase, all in Fengtai District; trains do not currently stop at Qilizhuang station (七里庄), which will be a future interchange with Line 9 and should open by the end of 2013.

One of the main reasons to take Line 14 is to visit the Beijing Garden Expo. There’s a dedicated station, Garden Expo Park, for accessing the Expo.

Here’s a map of the new stations! Stay tuned for updates to our online map and apps for iPhone and Android shortly!

How many stations are there on the Shanghai Metro?

The Shanghai Metro is one of the longest metro stations in the world. How stations does it have, as of May 2013? That’s s slightly tricky question to answer, for a number of reasons:

Which lines to include?

For the purposes of this article, we’re including the twelve lines which provide regular metro service: that’s Lines 1 through 11, and Line 13. Line 12 is not yet open.

We don’t include the Jinshan Railway (“Line 22″), as the frequency of trains on the line is not high enough to constitute a rapid transit service, and there is no integrated ticketing with the rest of the network. Similarly, we exclude the Shanghai Maglev train.

Which stations to include?

We include all currently open stations.

Qihua Road on Line 7, South Qilianshan Road on Line 13, and Daduhe Road station on Line 13 are currently closed, Also, three Line 13 stations were open during the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, but that segment has not reopened, so we also don’t include those stations in the count.

There are two stations called Pudian Road, on Line 4 and Line 6, but they are geographically separated with no way to interchange. We therefore treat these as two separate stations.

What to do about interchange stations?

Some stations have multiple lines calling at a station, for example People’s Square has three lines: Line 1, Line 2 and Line 8. This could either be counted as one or three stations.

Additionally Line 3 and 4 share the same tracks and platforms for eight stations on their route, so these could each count as one or two stations (There is a ninth station Yishan Road on Line 3 and Line 4, but it has separated platforms).

As an example, depending on how you count, you could say Zhongshan Park station counts as one station, two stations (Line 2, and Line 3+4) or three stations (Line 2, Line 3, and Line 4).

So, the final count is:

If we count interchange stations as a single station, there are 250 stations (see List 1 below).

If we count interchange stations as multiple stations, there are 296 stations (see List 2 below).

If we count interchange stations as multiple stations, but count shared tracks/platforms on Line 3/4 as a single station, there are 288 stations (see List 3 below).

Yongin Everline opens in Seoul

matt — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 07:03:35 +0000

The much-delayed Everline has opened in Yongin, Seoul. It’s a fully automated, elevated rapid transit system, connecting the Everland amusement park with the rest of the Seoul Metro System.

There are 15 stations in the initial phase, connecting Giheung station on the Bundang Line to Jeondae-Everland station. There are also stops at various points of interest in Yongin including City Hall-Yongin University.

Yongin, a city neighboring Seoul, has rapidly expanded in the last decade, and is now home to almost 1 million people. The opening of the Everline improves public transportation in the city, adding to the existing DX Line and extension to the Bundang Line.
