With the improvement of the high-speed rail network, more and more passengers choose the fast and convenient high-speed rail as a means of transportation. Abandon the high-speed rail and switch to other means of transportation.
There is a ranking of the distance between the high-speed rail station and the urban area on the Internet. It is reported that the farthest high-speed rail station from the urban area is Xiaogan North Station, which is nearly 100 kilometers away from the urban area, while the high-speed rail stations in other cities are farther away from the urban area. , Guangzhou South Railway Station is more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area.
It is too far away from the urban area, causing passengers to waste a lot of time when transferring to other means of transportation, which greatly reduces the convenience of the high-speed rail. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to take the subway from the urban area to Guangzhou South Railway Station. Such a time It is indeed a bit long, which has caused many urban residents to prefer to choose buses or other means of transportation to nearby cities within 200 kilometers, such as Jiangmen and Zhongshan, and these road means of transportation are more economical.
As for high-speed rail stations that are as long as 100 kilometers away from the urban area, such as Xiaogan North Station, I am afraid that the time and cost of transferring to other means of transportation will be higher, which will naturally make consumers less willing to choose. Fewer passengers are willing to choose, and even some of the closer high-speed rail stations are less chosen.
Only 30 kilometers away from Changning is the Leiyang West Railway Station of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway. Guangzhou is only 440 kilometers away from Changning. If you take the high-speed rail to Guangzhou, you need to spend more than an hour to get to Leiyang West Station, and you have to go to Guangzhou South Railway Station. It takes nearly 40 minutes to transfer to the urban area of Guangzhou by subway. In this way, it takes more than 2 hours to transfer to the urban area of Guangzhou. However, it takes too much time to transfer to the urban area of Guangzhou by bus. Today, there are still many passengers on the bus from Changning to Guangzhou.
The high-speed rail station chooses a place far from the urban area because the land resources in the city are quite tight. In this way, the construction of a high-speed rail station in a remote area will not be so tight. After all, the high-speed rail station itself needs land, and the high-speed rail connecting the high-speed rail station also needs to occupy land. .
The second is that some cities hope to use high-speed rail stations to drive the economic development of remote areas. After all, many cities have expanded rapidly in the past few decades. The areas around these cities that were still farmland in those days have now become urban areas. It can be said that considering the high-speed rail station Building more remote does have its reasons.
However, China's economic development has been going on for decades, and the expansion of cities may not be as fast as before. China's urbanization rate has reached about 65%, and a large number of people have basically lived in cities. The population growth of the Lower City will not be as fast as before.
These reasons will make it difficult for remote high-speed rail stations to quickly integrate into urban areas in the future. Using high-speed rail stations to drive the development of remote areas may not achieve the expected results. Too remote high-speed rail stations will lead to fewer urban residents choosing high-speed rail travel, affecting The attendance rate of the high-speed rail may not have been thought of at the beginning.
The high-speed rail has become a business card of China. The rapid improvement of the high-speed rail was originally intended to facilitate the travel of citizens. However, the troubles brought to passengers by the high-speed rail stations that are too far away from the urban area have affected the citizens' choice of high-speed rail travel. This situation is worthwhile for those who are under construction. Or urban thinking about planning to build a high-speed rail station.
