Terrible trip of Guangzhou Metro Line 3 - The busiest metro line in China |4K

[@sonhadinhagamer585]

I was impressed that the subway is extremely crowded and people don't even speak 1 "A" and not to mention that everyone has their faces on their cell phones 😂

[@651321ification]

Guangzhou Metro Line 3 is the most failed subway line in the Guangzhou Metro. When this line was planned, the Tianhe District was not developed at that time, so it was basically a state of wilderness. At that time, the Guangzhou Municipal Government believed that the future development of Tianhe District would not be so fast. In addition, the government believed that the "small group, high-density" subway operation mode was better for a long time, so it seriously underestimated the future use of Line 3. Therefore, the B-type train was selected in terms of vehicle type. The biggest feature of the B-type train is that it has a relatively small capacity compared to another A-type train in China (in China's subway trains, each B-type train can carry about 250 passengers, while the A-type train is about 310 passengers). Therefore, such a failed planning led to the large-scale development of Tianhe District, the daily passenger capacity of Line 3 reached 120%, far exceeding the design capacity. The same example is Guangzhou Metro Line 6.

[@651321ification]

广州地铁3号线是广州地铁中规划最失败的一条地铁线。这条线路早在规划的时候，当时的天河区并未开发，所以基本上都是荒郊野岭的状态。当时的广州市政府认为天河区未来的发展不会那么快，再加上政府很长一段时间都认为“小编组，高密度”的地铁运营模式更好，因此严重低估了未来乘坐3号线的人流，所以在车型方面选择了B型列车。B型列车车最大的特点就是与中国另一个A型列车相比，容量相对较小(在中国的地铁列车中，每节B型列车的载客量大概为250人，而A型车大概为310人)。因此这样失败的规划，才导致在天河区大规模开发后，3号线每天的载客容量达到120%，远远超过了设计容量。同样的例子还有广州地铁6号线。

This is the big city disease in China. Although the Chinese government is trying to improve the travel difficulty of its citizens, the rush hour is still crowded. This phenomenon is not only in Guangzhou, but also in other cities.

The phase of gz metro including line 3 was underbuilt, stations too small to permit good spacing

[@hobog]

If an outbreak occurs, rest assured people are contact-traced to a nation-wide extent by their SIM card and by surveillance cams

[@hobog]

I've ridden this line in the past year, and attest that staff and queue managers in 珠江新城站 are doing their best with such an underbuilt transfer center. 體育西路站 seems properly built-up, featuring a Spanish solution double platform. The under-construction subway lines to relieve line 3 can't come soon enough. Line 3 has been overtasked for over 10 years now, connecting to so many lines, being the only north-south spine, being the main airport train. Building bus lanes for existing north-south express+rapid buses would help too but china seems to have given up on BRT, even as a complement to rail transit and as improvement to existing busses

[@qjtvaddict]

Too many people for BRT to work this ain’t an American country

[@numberIII-hz1nt]

The mistake was making this line B6 capacity (type b 6 car trains). They should have made line 3 with A8 capacity, all Chinese metros deserve it

[@jhonisf]

In São Paulo there is also this big problem. Two lines have a demand of 1.8 million passengers, but at Sé station it already has two platforms to improve the flow, watch videos of the São Paulo subway, you will love it!

[@WizenedVariations1]

Considering the number of people having to use the subway line and needs for onsite security...a very well line. Yes, the subway should have had wider platforms, and is at over capacity.

[@dyf123cxe]

This route planning just catches up with the construction of the Asian Games and needs to save construction costs. And the wrong construction ideas were being followed at that time, so these lines did not take into account the future passenger flow growth.

[@numberIII-hz1nt]

@@dyf123cxe B6 capacity isn't enough for the Chinese metro systems. Many of these services deserved A8 capacity (chinese type A trains of 8 car formation)

All I remember from that trip on line 3 is how I was squeezed by passengers, my feet didn’t touch the ground, I couldn’t breathe and how people had to skip their station stop cause they were squeezed too. It’s like a game: win or lose (get out of the train or do it again 😅

By brings back memories for me. I'm an "old man" now in "half retirement" but I used to ride a metro every day in the late 1980s and 1990s and most of the 2000s and the metro I rode was under the control of a totally incompetent "public agency" so the trains did not operate at anything called "frequency" AT THE HEIGHT OF RUSH HOUR......* When I moved my residence in the middling/latter 2000s, I changed from riding trains to the busiest bus line using "articulated" buses. But nothing changed as that bus line also happened to be the busiest of the city so even though I would catch that bus at the beginning of it's departure point, by the time it came to my stop, the coach would be so packed that I had no choice but SHOVE MYSELF INTO THE BUS.......*
