Among many infrastructure projects, the subway was once the most popular.
1, convenient transportation.
The appearance of the subway can be said to have completely changed the previous mode of transportation, shuttling through the underground of the city, avoiding traffic congestion and saving land area. For travelers, the convenience of subway is irreplaceable.
2. Promoted the subway economy.
By the end of 20021,283 urban rail transit lines had been opened in 50 cities across the country, and the total number of subway lines could reach 7209.7 kilometers. With the rapid development of urban rail transit, the subway economy has gradually emerged. Relevant research shows that every investment of rail transit 1 100 million yuan can boost the industrial development of 200 million to 260 million yuan. Ease urban traffic. At the same time, it also has a strong economic effect.
Since building a subway has many benefits, why did the country stop it urgently?
1. The direct reason for the suspension of construction this time is the improvement of subway construction standards.
A city must meet three standards when building a subway, with an economic scale of 300 billion, a population of 3 million and a fiscal revenue of 30 billion, which is twice as high as raising the threshold for declaring money. The reason is that many cities do not hesitate to borrow money to build subways in order to improve urban construction. In order to avoid financial risks caused by high debts, the National Development and Reform Commission has raised the threshold for reporting.
2. The subway in many cities is not only expensive, but also has a very serious loss.
The average cost per kilometer to build a subway is about10 billion, and it may cost tens of billions to build a subway. Many cities simply cannot afford the money. That's not all. After the completion of the subway, it needs maintenance, and the annual ticket income is not enough. Among the major cities in China, only the subways in five cities, such as Shenzhen and Wuhan, make money, while others are losing money, especially in Beijing, where the annual loss is as high as1900 million.
In most cities, in order to operate the subway, they only need to pay back the money, that is, sell the land. A few years ago was the golden age of real estate, and the income from land sales could be completely covered. But now real estate is going downhill, and it is expected to subsidize the subway through land sales income. Then forget it. Now the subway has become a burden for most cities.
3. The subway operation still has a residential impact on the surrounding residents.
Being too close to the subway will have two major defects, namely, the influence of vibration and noise, because the subway will produce great vibration and noise in the process of high-speed operation, which will have a great impact on our lives, such as sleeping at night and taking a nap during the day.
The era of subway "soaring" is coming to an end, and we may have a new mode of transportation. There are indications that while controlling the scale of the subway, the state has increased the planning and construction of regional railways and intercity railways, that is, trying to replace the subway with low-cost rail transit to complete the construction of the metropolitan area.
