Xiao Yong, director of the Municipal Planning Bureau: "The subway system has been specially planned, and four subway lines have been compiled, with a total length of 130 km, because in the middle of our transportation development strategy, public transportation guides the urban development strategy."
The person in charge said that it is estimated that by 2030, the urban area will be close to 290 square kilometers and the permanent population will reach 2.8 million. Although the ground bus can basically meet people's travel, its running speed and riding environment still can't keep up with people's requirements. So we will consider the subway line then.
The planned Metro Line 1 runs south along Changhong Road in Fancheng, crosses the Han River to Xiangcheng, passes through Panggong, Jin Dong and zhang wan, and then returns to Changhong North Road to form a loop. Metro Line 2, along Zhongyuan West Road, passing through Xudong Road in Fancheng, crossing the river to Zhou Yuliang; Then continue eastward into the outer ring of Jin Dong; Line 3 crosses the river from the industrial park in the north of High-tech Zone, reaches zhang wan in the south, and connects with Line 2 in the south of Jin Dong core area in the east. Line 4 starts from Xiangyang Airport, goes south along the middle of Jin Dong New Town, and finally meets Metro 1 Line near the Fifth Bridge of Hanjiang River. Of the four lines, 1 is the longest, 38.47 kilometers, and Line 3 is the shortest, 29.4 kilometers.
This is the first time that the concept of Xiangyang subway has been officially conveyed.
On 20 13 12 18, the front page of Chutian Express published the report "Publicity of Five Subway Planning Schemes in Xiangyang", and a new Xiangyang subway planning scheme was released. In this comprehensive transportation system planning, the most striking plan is five rail transit lines with a total of 108 stations, including 65438 stations.
According to the planning scheme, five rail transit lines adopt corridor layout, which is generally annular and radial, and direct transfer can be realized between any two lines.
At present, the rail transit scheme is being further optimized. Experts suggest that the first-phase implementation of 1 line should be combined with Line 3, connecting Xiangcheng, Fancheng, Xiangzhou and Jin Dong New Town in series, covering hot spots in the whole city.
