Beijing, May 10 /Xinhua/ — On Sunday in Beijing, a pilot service was launched that allows passengers to carry their bicycles in metro cars, as the number of cycling enthusiasts and demand for trips between districts is growing in the capital.
According to the Beijing Municipal Transport Commission, starting from Sunday, passengers will be allowed to carry single-seat two-wheeled bicycles with wheel diameters up to 28 inches / approximately 71 cm / on pilot stations of four lines: line 6, line 17, the Chanping line, and line S1.
The aforementioned commission stated that the selection of these lines and stations was made after consultations with local cycling clubs to better understand the needs of cyclists, as well as considering the number of passengers transported by rail, and the adaptability of station equipment. They connect with several cycling routes in the suburbs of Beijing.
The pilot service is available at any time of day on Saturdays and Sundays, but is closed on weekdays and holidays. The fare is 30 yuan (about $4.38 USD) per trip, which includes transportation for one passenger and one bicycle as part of a one-time trip on the pilot line for the day of the trip. Tickets can be purchased through the “Yitongxing” app, which is used to scan QR codes for access to Beijing’s rail transport.
To ensure traffic safety and maintain order in the carriage, the operators have established strict rules of conduct for passengers. These include a ban on bringing all electric bicycles and other vehicles equipped with electric power units into the station.
In addition, passengers cannot freely transfer to unserviced lines, nor can they ride or travel through non-operational stations within the Beijing railway transit network. It is also prohibited to ride bicycles or skate at metro stations and in metro cars, as well as to leave bicycles disorderly, obstruct passenger walkways, or block evacuation routes.
