Promoting "all that should be opened", more than 60 entrances and exits of the Shanghai Metro have been completed but not yet opened? Official: Planned factors have been clarified | Organization | Shanghai
"Out of the 8 entrances and exits built at Jinyun Road Station on Line 13, only three are open for traffic. During peak hours in the morning and evening, non motorized vehicles are crowded together. Can the closed entrances and exits be opened for diversion?" Passengers' demands have been responded to. At the end of last month, the site officially opened multiple new entrances and exits to facilitate the passage of surrounding citizens.
Since the theme education, Shentong Metro Group has adhered to a problem oriented approach, combining investigation and research with key operational work. Focusing on topics such as opening entrances and exits, environmental improvement at entrances and exits, and "toilet revolution", it has strengthened on-site visits, specialized research, and rectification, promoting high-quality development of rail transit through small incisions in the "big scene".
Promote full opening of entrances and exits
The 3-7 exits of Jinyun Road Station on Line 13 are located on both sides of Jinsha Jiangxi Road to the west of Jinyun Road. When it was completed in 2012, considering factors such as surrounding passenger flow and operational management, it was not yet opened.
With the development of surrounding commercial and residential areas, the original entrances and exits can no longer meet the demand for passage. After the opening of multiple entrances and exits, the traffic pressure at entrances and exits 2 and 8 can be alleviated, while also taking into account the function of a street crossing passage.
Dissecting sparrows, drawing inferences from one case to another. In response to the common concern of citizens about the opening of entrances and exits, Shentong Metro Group has organized operational units to comprehensively investigate the opening of station entrances and exits based on solving individual cases.
"Due to three reasons: external construction, internal support, and passenger transportation organization, the number of subway station entrances and exits that have not been opened has been constantly changing." The relevant person in charge of the operation and management department of Shentong Metro Group told reporters that in late April, there were 68 entrances and exits that had not been opened on the entire network. By the end of July, 19 station entrances and exits had been opened as planned, including Lujiazui Station Exit 8 and Jinyun Road Station Exit 3-7. "As of now, there are 65 completed but unopened entrances and exits."
There are currently 30 unopened entrances and exits due to external construction, accounting for nearly half of the total. This is mainly constrained by external engineering construction factors such as land development, supporting roads or entrance and exit construction and renovation, and does not yet have the conditions for passenger passage. It needs to wait for the completion of external engineering construction and the signing of safety management division agreements before it can be put into use. For example, at the Meiling North Road Station on Line 15, due to the ongoing rapid renovation project of Wuning Road and the incomplete pavement support, the 1st and 2nd entrances cannot be opened temporarily.
"With the promotion of the Municipal Transportation Commission, the reopening time of the two entrances and exits of Meiling North Road Station has been further clarified recently." The person in charge told reporters that there are also some entrances and exits in these already built but not opened stations that cannot be reopened temporarily due to reasons such as the division of the junction interface between the two parties, failure to pass equipment engineering acceptance, or disputes over safety management agreements. ".
Compared to external construction, entrances and exits that are closed due to internal supporting factors generally have a clear schedule for opening. At present, there are a total of 16 subway entrances and exits that have been temporarily closed due to the implementation of elevator internal upgrading and renovation. According to the construction period, they will generally be reopened after 3-6 months.
Some entrances and exits have been closed due to passenger transportation organization reasons. The Fuxing Island Station on Line 12, located on the west side of the only north-south main road on Fuxing Island, has only opened exits 2 and 4 due to limited passenger flow, while exit 3 has not been opened yet. The timing of opening will depend on the passenger flow situation.
On the basis of comprehensive investigation, we are promoting the opening of entrances and exits in accordance with the principle of 'opening as much as possible and opening as much as possible'. According to the plan, Shanghai Metro will gradually open 21 entrances and exits by the end of this year, and other unopened entrances and exits will continue to be tracked and dynamically managed.
Explore refined services
In the entrance and exit areas of some subway stations with high passenger flow, limited by ground conditions and other factors, non motorized vehicle congestion often occurs, affecting the entry and exit of passengers.
Under the guidance of the Municipal Refinement Office, Shentong Metro Group is promoting the normalization of the "four long linkage mechanism", and the local governments of streets and towns actively support and cooperate in carrying out the rectification of shared bicycle parking.
The Ruby Road Station on Line 15 is one of them. Its No. 4 entrance/exit is responsible for the arrival of large commuter passenger flow, and also connects with the ground tactile paving. It is also the barrier free channel connecting the ground of the station and the station hall. Under such passenger flow pressure, the congestion of shared bicycles is becoming increasingly severe.
In order to alleviate this problem, staff have set up iron horses outside the 4th entrance and exit, and established rectification measures mainly based on guidance and sorting, supplemented by transportation and cleaning.
By communicating with bike sharing companies through the station area, establish a shared bike management WeChat group, and promptly inform bike sharing companies of the on-site situation at the station entrance and exit within the group, in order to expedite the clearance of entrances and accessible passages. At the same time, the station continues to strengthen inspections of entrances and exits, and through a combination of video and on-site inspections, problems are identified and immediately resolved.
The toilet revolution is also a key focus of exploring refined services. With the expansion of subway lines and the increase in the number of stations, the construction standards for public toilets are constantly being updated, and the renovation and upgrading projects are continuing to advance.
2. Some toilets on Line 11 and 13 have recently been upgraded. The significant change at Fengqiao Road Station on Line 11 is the increase in the number of toilet seats. Previously, each male and female restroom had very few restroom seats, but now the number of restrooms has doubled, greatly meeting the needs of passengers and reducing queuing time.
The site has newly built accessible toilets to meet the travel needs of special groups. In terms of protecting passenger privacy, adding blinded doors as a "protective door" enhances passengers' sense of security. Considering the needs of children, different height washbasins have also been set up.
"Between 2013 and 2022, Shanghai Metro has completed a total of 295 toilet renovations." The relevant person in charge of Shentong Metro Group stated that Shanghai Metro is continuously promoting the governance model of intelligent upgrading of station toilets, environmental standards, and service quality, promoting the "toilet revolution" from multiple dimensions, and exploring the best operating model for rail transit toilet management.
