Taichung’s 11-year MRT dream finally came true, 6-day calling card trial operation! “Apple” inventory of 7 missing points | Apple News | Apple Daily

(Declaration of the new people)

“Tweet, twee, twee …｣, I heard the chirp of the MRT starting in the morning, which means that the people of Taichung have been waiting for the new era of the MRT for 11 years. The Green Line test operation from Zhongjie on Monday (16) resulted in a connecting carriage axle suspension in just 6 days. “Apple News” also counted 7 major shortcomings, including the sound of departing birds is too small, turning noise is too strong, the start of a violent race, the train cannot connect with the passengers of the high-speed train, the door closes before the platform door, the traffic connection is not supported, and it was even an accident caused by the car door. The city government promised to make amendments one by one and to supervise manufacturers to check all cars as soon as possible. “The official opening day on December 19 remains unchanged.”

The Taichung MRT Green Line is the first MRT route in central China, with a total length of 16.71 kilometers. It runs from Beitun Main Station on Songzhu Road, Beitun District, Taichung City, along Beitun Road, Wenxin Road and Jianguo Road to Taichung High-Speed ​​Railway Station. There are 18 stations on the road. The station’s total spending is 59.337 million yuan, 32.834 million yuan from the central government, and 26.503 million yuan from the Taichung City. After the former Taichung City Mayor Hu Zhiqiang and Lin Jialong, and the current Taichung City Mayor Lu Xiuyan, it was built for 11 years and finally began trial operation last Monday.

What people in Central China expect from the MRT can be seen by the number of test pilots. The number of passengers not only exceeded 70,000 on the first day, but also surpassed 120,000 in a single day on the first weekend. The total number of people in six days reached 485,321. The popular situation can be said to be “riding in retaliation.”

However, the public also found 7 major defects in these short 6 days, two of which were door related. On the second day of the test operation, Councilor Lin Deyu believed that the key point was that Zhongjie “closed the door first and then the platform door”, unlike the Taipei MRT “close the platform door before to close the door “. He personally tested the trip and filmed two videos of opening and closing doors, noting that some stations in Zhongjie violated the security SOP of the MRT platform.

Then there is the problem of being too quiet and too loud. Lin Deyu pointed out that the sound of birdsong when Zhongjie started was too low for the passengers to hear, so it was too late to be alert, which was also a cause of injury at the door. And Xie Mingyuan, a Beitun district councilor who tried Zhongjie in person, pointed out that there is a big change from Jiushe Station to Beitun Main Station and from Siwei Primary School to Songzhu Station. Noise is very annoying for local residents.

Li Kecong, transportation specialist and deputy convener of the Transportation Committee of the Consumer Foundation, noted that Zhongjie uses steel rails and steel wheels, and noise is inevitable. The only way to improve the sound insulation effect of sound insulation wall. As for the sequence of opening and closing the door, follow that of Beijie and the high-speed train. Open the platform door first and then open the car door. Opening times during peak hours should also be extended and the birdsong of warnings should be increased, to ensure passenger safety.

Then comes the question of too fast and too slow. Many people reported that the speed of the Zhongjie train was too fast when it started, which made people feel like they were in a rush. Councilors He Wenhai and Chen Shuhua pointed out that the station is too far from attractions such as Fengjia Night Market and Yizhong Business District, but the connection plan is not complete. Even the most basic iBike station has 7 stations that have not been installed. How do you expect people to grasp the “MRT” or the “Slow Luck”?

Li Kecong believes that there is only one MRT in Taichung, and connection and transfer planning is very important. Each station and the large surrounding communities should be equipped with iBike to make it easy for passengers to “complete the last mile connection.” In addition, you can also consider connecting at the main stations. Set up shared locomotives and strengthen bus route planning and dispatch density.

The last question is also the connection. Councilor Jiang Zhaoguo, who often takes the high-speed train, noted that the last train from the Taichung high-speed train station arrived at 11:59 p.m. and the last train from the China-Celestial Taichung high-speed train departed to 24:00. The audience did not have time to board. Zhongjie should check out the Taichung high-speed train station. The last departure time.

Regarding the accidents and problems that occurred during the test ride, Lin Zhiying, president of Zhongjie, said that in addition to reducing the noise from the turning brakes and the train starting storm, we still have to check with the Office of Engineering to improve and retest. Others, including train stop time, have been based on passengers. The number of people has been adjusted immediately from 25 to 40 seconds to 45 to 60 seconds. All stations have been fully adjusted to close the dock door and then the car door, so that people can get in and out of the car safely and quietly without catching anyone.

Also, the sound of birdsong consider boosting the volume before 8 a.m. M. At 8 p. M. To achieve the alert effect during traffic spikes; Taichung High Speed ​​Train Station has decided to open a last train at 0:15 a.m. M. And connect at 11:59 a.m. M. Passengers arriving at Taichung High Speed ​​Train Station.

Regarding the support measures for connecting the MRT station, Taichung City Transportation Director Ye Zhaofu said that there are currently 18 MRT stations and 7 MRT stations that have not yet installed ibike stations. . Construction has been contracted and the installation is expected to be completed by the end of the year. In addition, it will cooperate with the MRT. The Transportation Bureau will add 5 shuttle buses and adjust 10 bus routes to provide transfers for people taking the MRT, so that Zhongjie will make Taichung transportation more convenient.

Daxin Elementary School teacher Chen said that after the MRT test operation, he and his colleague took the “Zhongjie Journey” and took the MRT from “Wenxin Forest Park Station” to “Fengle Park Station”. Showcase Thai food from Wenxin Life ｣store. The other day, I went to “Siwei Primary School” to eat Thai-Burmese cuisine. He had already asked to leave on Wednesday. I had to take “Songzhu Station” to visit the characteristic baths, and then transfer to the Taiwan Railway to Miaoli Tongluo Station to enjoy the hanging chrysanthemums. Unexpectedly, he stopped. “I hope I can resume driving on Wednesday!” (Huang Renying, Zeng Xueqian, Sun Ming / Reported by Taichung)
