On November 24, more than 970,000 people witnessed the "virgin runing" of Hangzhou Subway Line 1 which is the first subway line of Hangzhou City in China. People were lucky to experiencet this newly high-tech transportation rail with a free ticket from Hangzhou Metro Group Corporation Ltd. It is the milestone of Hangzhou modern history, said by a Hangzhou Government officer.
Hangzhou Subway Plan
There are 10 subway lines to be built according to Hangzhou Subway System plan before 2050, in total 375.6km. The first phase of project includes Line 1 and Line 2.
The project of Line 1 started on March 28, 2007, and officially turned into operation on November 24, 2012. According to official news, more than 20 billions RMB was invested during the whole project of Line 1. Hangzhou subway line 1 has 34 stations, starting from Xianghu Lake station(湘湖站) of Xiaoshan District to the Linping station(临平站) along the Century Avenue. It connects the main city area with suburbs districts, like Jiangnan(江南), Linping(临平) and Xiasha(下沙). The section extending from Xiasha is still under construction.
Applying Modern High-tech in Hangzhou Subway
During the whole subway construction, a new technology, called Rail Vibration Isolation Technology was used to ease down the noisy generated by friction between wheel and rail. Up above the subway, the residential area, hotels, schools, theatres are prevented from noisy pollution.
Hangzhou Subway is the first subway line which is entirely covered by 4G signals in the world. A officer in CMCC (China Mobile Communication Corporation) said passengers can receive the 4G signals both in subway station and moving metro. And the signal frequency can reach 40Mbps.
