Strengthen transfer guidance and increase night bus, Beijing Fengtai Station will meet the peak of return passenger flow.
Beijing Fengtai Station, which is facing the test of Spring Festival travel rush for the first time, has recently ushered in the peak of return passenger flow, especially after the opening of temporary passengers. After the subway stops at night, the number of passengers arriving at the station will exceed 10,000, and it is expected that the passenger flow will reach the peak today (January 27th). In order to facilitate the rapid evacuation of passengers, Beijing Fengtai Station has increased the capacity of taxis and internet taxis, and added night buses and ferry lines.

Passenger flow information is shared by multiple departments, and the guidance work should be done well in advance.
Since 8: 30 in the morning, vehicles have been coming in and out of the P1 parking lot of Fengtai Station in Beijing. In order to avoid the crowded vehicles at the docking station, after being guided by the staff, the vehicles have to detour half a circle along the outer road before reaching the passenger boarding area.
"Master, stop ahead. This is the passage. Don’t block the road." "Stop the vehicles that the passengers haven’t arrived in the parking space." "Passengers with luggage give way back and pay attention to the vehicles." … In the waiting area of the network car in the parking lot, urban management law enforcement officers and traffic assistants are guiding people and vehicles to wait and park in an orderly manner. The reporter noticed that the parking lot is mainly about the network car. After the arrival of a wave of passenger flow peak, more than ten staff members stepped up order guidance, and a special waiting area and parking space were set up in the parking lot to facilitate the temporary parking of the network car.

The relevant person in charge of the regional management office of Beijing Fengtai Station introduced that in order to do a good job in Spring Festival travel rush this year, they coordinated and ensured the transportation capacity of the network car in the early stage, and increased the intensity of dispatching tickets at night. In addition, it is necessary to remind the public that there are two ground parking lots P1 and P2 at Fengtai Station in Beijing, so it is not necessary for citizens to park in P1 parking lot when they come to the station to pick up their relatives and friends.
From 9: 00 to 12: 00 this morning, several waves of large passenger flows greeted Beijing Fengtai Station. From 9: 40 to 10: 00, there were three high-speed trains that were almost full, and the total number of passengers getting off exceeded 3,000. In the face of large passenger flow, subways, buses, taxis and online car rides need to be prepared. The reporter noticed at the scene that sometimes, before several large passenger cars arrived at the station, the subway staff had already rushed to the scene to wait for the passengers. After the passengers arrived, the staff immediately gave guidance to remind the passengers to go to the subway station area in an orderly manner.
It is not only the subway department that realizes information sharing. At present, the Fengtai station area in Beijing has deepened the communication and contact mechanism with railway, transportation and other units, and shared passenger flow information in the security group in real time every day. Before the peak hours, the staff of all relevant departments will make preparations in advance and carry out transportation capacity guarantee and order maintenance in a targeted manner.

A number of night bus and night ferry lines have been added in Fengtai Station area of Beijing.
The real test is actually at night. Affected by the opening of temporary passengers, the night passenger flow at Fengtai Station increased. It is understood that from 10: 00 last night to 5: 00 this morning, the number of passengers arriving at Fengtai Station in Beijing exceeded 10,000, of which 4,500 passengers arrived in a short time. During this time period, there was a "vacuum period" in which conventional transportation capacity such as subway and bus stopped.
From 11: 30 tonight to 5: 30 tomorrow morning, Beijing Fengtai Station is expected to receive more than 15,000 passengers, which is expected to refresh the passenger traffic data of the station at night. The regional management office of Beijing Fengtai Station has strengthened communication and coordination with other departments, docked the local government in advance, coordinated the Fengtai District Transportation Committee, prepared five large-capacity buses for standby, mainly driving in the direction of the Third Ring Road, and contacted the taxi company for capacity guarantee.
In addition, Beijing Public Transport Group has added night buses to Xiajia Hutong, with four buses running continuously and two buses stopping at Fanjiacun Station. Passengers can change from Xiajia Hutong Bus Station to Night Bus No.7 (running from 23:20 to 04:50 the next day, Zibei-Xiajia Hutong-Caishikou West in Han Zhuang) and Night Bus No.30 (running from 23:20 to 4:50 the next day)

At night, in addition to coordinating taxi companies to increase capacity, emergency free car ferry service has also been optimized. There are 8 car ferry vehicles in the South Square Armed Police booth and taxi transfer station, which will be operated from 00:30 to 03:00 from the fifth day to the eighth day of the first lunar month. Two lines, Fengtai Station to Yangqiao and Fengtai Station to Liuliqiao, will be set up, and the longest waiting time will not exceed 15 minutes.
Beijing Fengtai Station reminds passengers that although various connecting capacities have been added, it is indeed inconvenient to transfer when arriving at the station at night. It is suggested that passengers check the last subway train time in advance when purchasing tickets and plan their travel routes. Passengers who need to take a taxi can take car ferry and night buses to other areas before calling a taxi to avoid long waiting time caused by crowded appointments. Please stop the vehicles at the pick-up station, and don’t occupy the traffic lane.
