Battleground Beijing: Daily routine in overcrowded metro

Beijing subway staff make great efforts every day to guarantee normal operation of the subway lines and safety of the passengers in the bustling subway stations.
Since June 2013, the 14 subway lines in Beijing receive an average of 10 million trips every workday, making the subway stations over-crowded, especially during rush hours on workdays. The large number of passengers put huge pressure on the city's subway system.

That poor girl has such a difficult job, constantly yelling for people to wait to let others off the train but getting ignored

[@youwu__]

I’m strong enough to say, the metro in Beijing is even more crowded than in Japan.

[@adventureguy5088]

Line 13 isn't as crowded now, with all the new lines and stuff. But it's still a really outdated line, definitely not built for these kind of operations. Only newer lines could help this line out.

[@youwu__]

The only way to help this is to build a parallel line, like what New York did with the 4/5/6 and Q

[@youwu__]

Imagine if the metro was this crowded 24/7

[@cosmoray9750]

This is like Japan 20 years ago. I think they need more trains.

[@vanessaruiz4705]

there are still couple of lines and certain of the day in which you can find this issue in tokyo, i suffered it.

[@ahahmyee6774]

They need manners like the japanese.

[@youwu__]

That's like a million skeleton vs a valkyrie

[@republicofsandles]

I told them Beijing needed more bicycles, then I was laughed out of the room.

[@magpiemaniac]

What an idyllic and charming existence! Sharing the same space with your fellow man! Who needs a peaceful mountain stream when you can experience life in the big city?

[@subratanandy2142]

Do you know the extreme hardwork that is needed to live by the peaceful mountain stream?

[@eg0death]

You couldn't pay me enough to get on one of those trains...

[@BlakeChilders]

Beijing needs more trains. 北京需要更多的地铁列车。

[@adventureguy5088]

I know right? 我也这样子感觉

[@adventureguy5088]

An intermediate result of a system that is based on endless growth.

[@muhdafiqbinidris2507]

[@alexskatit4188]

Build dual platforms...exit on one side...enter on the other side.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

[@jamaulbrown]

[@Nairuulagch]

Price of 1.4 billion population is must be payed somehow. On Google search "overcrowded Indian train" in image search section you'll even more amaze!

[@kananmammadov267]

[@ItsFinRocket]

Chinese don't know what letting people out first mean. It could help the passenger flow.

[@vidyutdevam9204]

neither do Indians

[@vanessaruiz4705]

[@keithlamontbraggs]

[@fuzzlabrador]

[@youwu__]

Well, the only solution here is to double up the track.

[@Mazokrw]

上车时候活的， 下车时候就死了

[@uncle0003]

После увиденного московское метро утром в меру полное!

[@jossiemarielustre9292]

China need more trains. It never happened in the US you cannot see those things in america theres still a lot of empty space to live there. US needs 1.1 billion to compete their population to china.

[@AIDANBC]
