In March 2006, the owner signed an order for linear motor trains with CNR Changchun Rail Bus Co., Ltd., in which the linear motor technology was provided by Bombardier. On August 9 of the same year, the airport line began tunnel construction.
In March 2007, the track laying of the airport line began. In April of the same year, the platform door was installed. In the same year, the 1 1 railway connection line was completed.
In April 2008, the airport line began its no-load trial operation. The first and last bus schedule of the airport line station name goes up → down to the city → airport station name → first bus time → last bus time → Dongzhimen—6: 0022: 30 Sanyuanqiao Terminal 6: 5223: 276: 0422: 343—6: 2122: 565438.
(Refer to the time of the first and last bus) The fare hearing gives two schemes: 25 yuan/passenger and 30 yuan/passenger.
80% of the airport line fares represent 25 yuan.
On July 20, 2008, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission held a hearing on the fare scheme of the airport rail line. Among the two fare schemes of 25 yuan and 30 yuan, 20 of the 25 hearing representatives chose the fare scheme of 25 yuan.
Only 1 supported 30 yuan's plan, and four others thought the fare should be lower.
According to the final approval, the airport line fare is determined to be 25 yuan per person.
At the hearing, many delegates suggested that the airport line should first be made clear whether it is public welfare or business, and at the same time, no matter what the price is, it must be consistent with the services provided. It is very important to check in at Dongzhimen Station in advance to realize the separation of people and goods and facilitate the transfer.
Lu Yingchuan, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that the hearing had ended and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission had summarized all opinions and reported them to the municipal government. After the final decision is made by the municipal government, the airport line will be put into trial operation in early July.
According to Gao Peng, Chairman of Beijing Dongzhimen Airport Express Rail Co., Ltd. (referred to as Express Rail Company for short), the operation time of the airport line is tentatively set at 6: 00 a.m.-0/1. Passengers can save 40-50 minutes by taking the airport line to the airport during peak hours. Realize the diversion of people and goods as soon as possible
When taking the airport line, passengers' large luggage should be transported directly to the airport. "To achieve high-quality service, people should not drag their luggage in and out of the airport line, and now the luggage rack space provided by the airport line for passengers is very narrow. There are no elevators in two sections of Dongzhimen Station of the airport line, and there is no baggage check-in car when you get off the airport line and arrive at T3 Terminal, resulting in passengers having to carry luggage. " The representative of Li Shijie said.
Reply: Gao Peng said that the airport line construction will be able to meet the needs of passengers, but the separation of people and goods directly entering the airport needs further consultation with airlines.
You can check in early
The representative of Chen Min said that he usually goes to the airport by taxi, which is quick and convenient. "If I can register directly at Dongzhimen or Sanyuanqiao, I will definitely choose the airport line." Many delegates said that check-in is very important as a value-added service, because it takes too long for the airport to require passengers to arrive in advance to check in. If you can easily check in at the airport line in advance, you will attract many passengers.
Reply: Gao Peng said that this issue involves not only Express Company, but also international and domestic airlines. It needs multi-party cooperation, and enterprises will also work hard to promote this work. Earlier, officials of the Transportation Commission had publicly stated that the function of early check-in could be fully realized.
The representative thinks that facilities and services should be improved.
The transfer conditions must be convenient.
Li Shijie, a representative of the magazine "National Unity" of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, said that based on his experience on the airport line on 26th last month, he suggested further improving the transfer, because it was inconvenient for passengers with more luggage to take the escalator. Some representatives also suggested that the transfer between Dongzhimen Station and taxi should be more convenient; It is suggested that the baggage car should be configured when the airport line is switched to T3; The airport line stopped running at 23: 00, which caused inconvenience to night passengers.
Bags should be separated from people.
Many representatives suggested that people and luggage should be separated. They think that the airport line lacks humanized measures such as not carrying things with you, and it is best to check luggage. It will be more difficult to take the airport line with big bags and small bags now, especially because there are two sections of Dongzhimen Station without elevators. Jing Tihua, a representative of Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said. Bao Jiayu, a representative of New Yansha Holdings (Group) Co., Ltd., believes that the airport line should give more consideration to the characteristics of air passengers and design the luggage more humanized.
Passenger flow forecast data needs to be tested by practice.
Many delegates pointed out that due to many uncertain factors, the passenger flow forecast data in the scheme is not scientific and accurate enough, and the relationship between passenger flow and fare is very close. Ren Suiying, a hearing representative from the Capital Airport Branch of the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce, said that the passenger flow forecast reported by the applicant does not include people who do not fly, and the passenger flow in the next three years is uncertain.
Lang Danke, the complaints department of the Municipal Consumers Association, believes that there is no detailed cost accounting in the plan and consumers cannot be persuaded. Some representatives also pointed out that the management fee is high after the fast track company is put into operation.
Authoritative response: Gao Peng said that the passenger flow in the scheme is obtained through model simulation and questionnaire survey, but it is a forecast after all, not the final result. As for the cost, it has been reviewed by the relevant government departments. Regarding management fees, he said that after the operation, the company still needs to invest in value-added services such as operation management and advertising during the operation period, but the company will further reduce management costs.
