Chapter 162 Transit Stations and Public Transportation

With mature operating experience and design plans, although the state did not allocate more resources to the construction of superconducting maglev, the national railway still worked at an extremely fast speed and with extremely high efficiency. It took three years to finally complete the road network. Three main roads were paved.

The main road for the construction of the first batch of maglev trains is the road network covering from east to west.Then for the second batch of road network coverage, it is the connection between the northwest region and the southwest region.

Taking Huntian Valley as the starting point, the passageways of the four maglev trains built by the country in the second batch, in the direction of Chang'an, Rongcheng, and Chuncheng, are the three provincial capital cities that announced the trial operation this time.

The total length of the Huntian Valley Chang'an Line is 2127.1 kilometers, the entire length of the Huntian Valley Rongcheng Line is 1964.5 kilometers, and the entire length of the Huntian Valley Spring City Line is 2314.2 kilometers. All the maglev passages currently under construction are direct trains.The road network within China is still a younger brother in the western region.

There is also a deeper reason for not choosing to cover the entire western region with a distance of about [-] kilometers.

With the development and promotion of science and technology, it does not mean that large cities enjoy more convenient and faster transportation, but for the country, the maglev train track is not suitable for more detailed applications. The advantages of maglev trains are high efficiency and Faster, more efficient in terms of time, and faster in terms of speed.

This is like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, the gain outweighs the loss.Regarding the development of public transportation, the country has actually made corresponding designs, and even to a certain extent, public transportation is making efforts in the direction of ultra-high capacity, ultra-fast speed, and direct access to nodes.

From 2020 to 2033, among the 13 years of changes, one of the least noticeable but ongoing work is the reduction of buses.That's right, it's not an increase but a decrease. While fast trains, such as high-speed rail and maglev, are being popularized, the number of buses has been decreasing.

The reason for the decrease is simple: the number of people taking buses is declining every year.More means of travel, such as shared bicycles, electric vehicles, and subways, all bear corresponding passenger flow.Even in big cities, you can easily see empty buses passing by except during rush hours.

The decline of the bus represents the advancement of technology and the improvement of people's living standards.The advancement of science and technology determines that people have more choices of travel means, less time spent, and the improvement of living standards, which determines the reduction of people's demand for cheap solutions such as bus travel.

In fact, this situation became more serious after the emergence of maglev trains.Of course, the reduction is a gradual process, not the cancellation of the bus program all at once.For decades, people didn't even pay much attention to the reduction of buses.

The country's reduction of the number of buses is not because the traffic carrying capacity has been saturated, but because compared with the richer means of transportation, buses have gradually become unsuitable for this era.There are still a large number of people who have difficulty traveling, unable to get a taxi or catch a bus, and it has never changed.

The main reason lies in the change and development of the means of transportation.Room temperature superconductivity brings not only maglev trains, but also the transformation and application of transportation tools has become inevitable.Over the past few decades, the country's auto industry has changed from a car that burns oil to a structure that consumes three energy sources: gasoline and electricity.

Unlike people who were more inclined to buy gasoline vehicles in the early years, electric vehicles have become the main vehicle purchase option for people.In addition to feelings and collections, gasoline cars are already on the verge of being eliminated.

This is a change in private transportation, and as the price of private transportation drops, the choice increases, the range expands, and even in terms of speed, it gradually surpasses public trains except for the high-speed train series. The result is obvious.

The development direction of public transportation must take each large city as a node, and then connect the entire transportation network.The larger the area covered by private transportation, the fewer and fewer corresponding public transportation stations will be.

You must know that for every public station in the future, there must be a city standing above the traffic node.

The choice of connecting the northwest and southwest regions is also for better development of the west.The lack of usable land does not mean that there are few natural resources. Compared with the large area of ​​construction land in the eastern region, the western region has high mountains and winding rivers. Urban resources are more concentrated.

Centralization has the benefits of concentration, and decentralization also has the benefits of decentralization.It can be said that it is in line with the law of the development of things to concentrate first and then spread.At the current stage of Huaxia, the urban development in the eastern region is forming a development model that strives to extend to the periphery and radiate villages and towns for development and utilization.

As for the western region, it is still in the stage of concentrated development.The topography of the eastern region makes it easier for the development of eastern cities to spread outwards, but it is not the case in the west.

The relatively concentrated development of the western region is due to the terrain, but why it has been concentrated is also due to the terrain.The scarcity of building land has kept the large cities in the west in a state of concentrated development. It is also because of the scarcity of building land that the cities in the western region are inherently deficient, labor is insufficient, and the population is far smaller than that in the eastern region.

This kind of concentration is a forced concentration, and it is not like the development of plain areas that can first concentrate the resources of the surrounding areas into a city, and then feed them back to other regions.

The reason why the priority is to choose the route construction in the western region is actually the same as the route planning from Huntian Valley to Kyoto. There are many uninhabited areas, which is a choice that can greatly reduce costs for direct trains.

The establishment of the three routes is not only for the development of the west, but also serves as a transfer station on the central axis of Huaxia to radiate the national road network to a certain extent.In the second batch of route planning, there is also a Sunshine City route located in the Western Regions. The construction has not yet been completed, but it has entered the end of the entire project.

The construction of the transfer station also established the important positions of Chang'an, Rongcheng and Chuncheng in the new road network.The country's next batch of planning will no longer be obsessed with the development planning of the western region, but the interconnection of the transfer stations and the laying of the eastern region.It's just that when the time comes, the construction of the maglev train station will no longer be the construction of several routes, but an all-round large-scale application.

The opening of the maglev once again caused heated discussions, but people's acceptance was under the impact of continuous news. Compared with the shock of seeing the maglev train for the first time, it seemed less enthusiastic, and more people felt that they were used to the motherland. powerful.
