1 and Xicheng S 1 Intercity Metro are official reports submitted by Jiangyin Municipal Government to Wuxi in 2008: "Please ask Wuxi Municipal People's Government to consider extending Wuxi Urban Rail 1 line to Jiangyin". After long-term research, the governments of Wuxi and Jiangyin have determined the route direction (from Yanqiao to Jiangyin Bund), which is decided by Wuxi.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, the state approved four intercity subways in Jiangsu, three of which were given to Nanjing (Nanjing to Lukou, Nanjing to Jinniu Lake and Ninghe Intercity). In other words, among Jiangsu 13 prefecture-level cities, except the provincial capital, only Wuxi has won an intercity railway, which is very difficult.
At present, Wuxi has reported to the provincial and national development and reform commissions again because the deadline of 20 15 required by the national development and reform commission has passed. At present, the line has been included in the latest documents such as the key project of the Yangtze River Delta of the National Development and Reform Commission, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" of Wuxi, and the triangular plan of President the State Council.
In other words, this intercity subway was won by the governments of Wuxi and Jiangyin after some efforts, especially now it has been included in the important documents of the country, Jiangsu Province and Wuxi City. If it is delayed again, it will not only waste the efforts of predecessors, but also violate the development requirements of the country, province and city, and seriously affect the credit of Wuxi and Jiangyin governments.
2. It's nothing new that more developed county-level cities connect with subways. There are many intercity subways in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and Suzhou and Kunshan will also build intercity subways next year. Even Ningbo and Fenghua, which are less economically developed than Wuxi and Jiangyin, will also build subways. The long-term passenger flow forecast of Ningbo Fenghua intercity subway is only 252,000 passengers/day. The resident population of Jiangyin is about 6.5438 million more than that of Fenghua, and its GDP is nearly 9 times that of Fenghua. Jiangyin has long been ranked among the top 100 counties in China, so it is natural to build a subway.
3.S 1 is the only subway line that can be built in Jiangyin at present. According to the national requirements for the construction and management of rail transit, cities applying for the development of subway should meet the conditions that the gross domestic product exceeds 654.38+000 billion yuan, the general budget revenue of local finance exceeds 654.38+000 billion yuan, and the urban population exceeds 3 million yuan. If light rail is built, the population index can be relaxed to 6.5438+0.5 million.
Jiangyin's economic indicators are up to standard, but the urban population is less than one million. Therefore, like Kunshan, it is impossible to declare the rail transit construction plan in the near future. Only by co-constructing with the surrounding cities with conditions can the subway be built. It is at the request of Jiangyin that S 1 was submitted for approval by Wuxi through Xicheng Intercity Rail Transit Project. If S 1, which has been successfully submitted for approval and established for many years and meets the existing construction requirements, can other lines in Jiangyin be built? For the construction requirements of other subway lines in Jiangyin, it is naturally impossible for the relevant departments to reply.
4. Relieve the large passenger flow during Spring Festival travel rush, May Day and November Day. "Small Holiday" Anyone who has taken the Xicheng (including Yi Xi and other places) passenger bus at Wuxi Bus Station knows how difficult it is to wait for the bus! Buying tickets in the morning and arriving home at dusk is a common practice here. Which passenger doesn't complain? How to solve the travel problems of these passengers? Due to the uncertainty of road traffic and the traffic jam in Jiangyin during holidays, rail transit is naturally the best solution to alleviate this phenomenon.
5. Compared with Chengjiang and Wuxi Huishan areas, the development of Jiangyin south is slow. S 1 can promote the better development of the south of the city, balance the gap between urban and rural areas in Jiangyin, and naturally promote the population growth of Jiangyin, which is beneficial to the future development of Jiangyin.
6. Go to Jiangyin City and Wuxi City in the south of the city; If people don't have self-driving equipment, they can only travel by township bus or passenger bus, which is inefficient and more expensive than ordinary city bus (Jiangyin bus/kloc-0 yuan, Wuxi bus 2 yuan). Using the subway can improve the efficiency of travel, and at the same time, it is safe and comfortable, and the fare is equivalent to or even cheaper than the existing township bus or passenger bus. Or Jiangyin to Wuxi, the same is true. (S 1 Wuxi subway fare system is adopted, and the starting price is 2 yuan /5km. Every time you increase the fare of 1 yuan, you can take 5, 5, 7, 7, 9, 9,1/km respectively, that is, from Jiangyin Railway Station to Yanqiao, about 6 yuan; Jiangyin Railway Station to Wuxi Railway Station, around 7 yuan. )
If there are shortcomings, it is just a cliche about construction cost and later operation. For a city like Jiangyin, it should be said that the subway will be built after all. It is better to build it early than late, and the later the more expensive it is.
On the other hand, public transport should not be for profit, otherwise how many buses and passenger buses are profitable now? Then, can the bus company cancel the line at will on the grounds of loss? In fact, it is impossible for rail transit in any city in the world to make a profit only by selling tickets, but to gain more benefits around the development of the subway. The Hong Kong subway is profitable by building shopping malls and properties at subway stations. This is also an impossible source of profit for urban public transportation outside the subway.
Subway is of long-term significance to the development around the station. Imagine what Xinzhuang Station on Shanghai Line 1 looks like. What now?
