While new transport needs are emerging
and existing transport needs are growing, the network of
China Railway is one of the most densely used in the world.
Between 2000 and 2013, China Railways experienced robust
rail traffic growth. The combination of rapidly growing
traffic and of high existing traffic density called for
major new investments in order for railways to continue
playing a substantial role in the Chinese economy.
Understanding and addressing passenger needs will be
critical to achieve the full impact of the HSR network. HSR
remains a major investment that requires high traffic
density to be justified economically and financially. It
requires careful attention to the overall door-to-door trip
experience for travelers. This includes dealing with aspects
that sometimes extend beyond the remit of railways, for
example by improving the access to and from the station,
and, in particular, reducing the current waiting time for
taxis at stations or ensuring good frequency for public
transport services. It also includes optimizing train
frequencies and city pairing based on emerging trip patterns
and user surveys, introduction flexible ticket prices
reflecting peak/off-peak periods, and introducing convenient
e-ticketing services. By focusing on these aspects, and on
the efficient and effective operation of the HSR network,
HSR in China can be expected to continue to experience
substantial growth for many years to come. |
