[Economic Observation] What kind of city operation code is hidden behind subway operation data

　　The 2020 urban rail transit operating data flash report recently released by the Ministry of Transport shows that as of December 31, 2020, a total of 44 cities across the country (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the same below) have opened and operated 233 urban rail transit lines with operating mileage There are 7545.5 kilometers, 4660 stations, 25.28 million trains actually operated, 17.59 billion passenger-times completed, and 10.91 billion passenger-times inbound.

　　2020 is the final year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. The operating mileage of 7545.5 kilometers is more than twice that of 3,293 kilometers at the end of 2015. 44 cities have opened and operated urban rail transit, which is 19 more than the 25 at the end of 2015. .

In addition, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou have ranked among the top three in the world in terms of urban rail transit operating mileage.

In some cities, urban rail transit has already undertaken more than 50% of public transportation.

It can be said that the urban rail transit has handed in a beautiful "13th Five-Year" report card.

　　Urban rail transit includes subways, light rails, and maglevs, among which subways are the most common.

People often refer to urban rail transit collectively by subway.

As an important municipal infrastructure, behind the rapid development of the subway is the in-depth advancement of a new type of human-centric urbanization.

Statistics show that the urbanization rate of the permanent population in my country has increased from 56.1% in 2015 to 60.6% in 2019.

The increase in population, the expansion of the scale of cities, especially the increase in demand for long-distance travel, has given birth to the demand for subways.

　　With the development of the subway, it will feed back the urbanization construction, inject new vitality into the city, at the same time, alleviate traffic congestion and improve people's travel.

For example, the occupancy rate of Chenggong in Yunnan used to be less than 30%, but Kunming Metro Line 1 will connect Chenggong with the Kunming city center. The popularity is booming, and developers and commercial entities are also following.

Today, Chenggong has become a city that never sleeps.

In a sense, the subway is an important carrier for advancing a new type of urbanization centered on people and enhancing people's happiness.

　　Statistics show that in 2020, the passenger traffic of Shanghai Metro will exceed 2.8 billion, Beijing Metro will exceed 2.2 billion, and Guangzhou Metro will reach 2.4 billion.

Calculated on 365 days a year, the average daily passenger volume of the Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou Metro has exceeded 6 million.

This is the data affected by the epidemic. In the past, it was a “routine operation” to exceed 10 million people per day.

　　The corresponding set of data is provided by the "2020 National Commuting Monitoring Report for Major Cities": Beijing's commuting radius reaches 40 kilometers, Shanghai reaches 39 kilometers, and Guangzhou has 31 kilometers.

It is the rapid development of the subway and the punctuality rate of more than 99% throughout the year that allows people to live in areas that are far from the urban area for work and relatively cheap, and there is almost no need to worry about being late.

At the same time, it has also expanded people's employment radius.

Of course, the long-distance commuting also hides the helplessness and sadness of professionals in the separation of work and residence. This will also be one of the problems to be solved in the next step of urban planning and development.

　　For many professionals, whether they are renting or buying a house, the distance from the subway is an important consideration.

People are becoming more and more dependent on the subway, which also puts forward higher requirements for the subway service, not only safe and punctual, but also efficient and comfortable.

For example, we should not only focus on the punctuality rate, but also the average waiting time, average response time, platform detention rate, and degree of congestion.

　　The subway shuttles through the city, ferrying passengers every day, carrying their ups and downs.

The denser and denser subway network is witnessing the rapid changes in the city.

Behind a set of subway operating data is the operating code of a city, and everyone can read different content.
