The following is what I think is the thoughtful design of Chinese subway and the suggested additional convenience measures:
Intimate design:
(1) Set up "Metro Map" and "City Map" in the waiting area: The network of the subway system is very huge, and sometimes many passengers may not be familiar with the lines of the subway system. At this time, subway maps and city maps can be set up in the waiting area to let passengers better understand the traffic and environment of the city.
(2) Display the route map and the next station information in the carriage: In the carriages of some subway systems, the route map and the next station information can be displayed. This will enable passengers to better understand their itinerary and arrival time.
(3) Visual voice reminding system: The visual voice reminding system will play the arrival reminding music on each platform, and at the same time, it will display the arrival name on the carriage through LED lights, so as to facilitate passengers to master their own itinerary and get off.
(4) Barrier-free facilities: The subway system also provides barrier-free facilities for passengers with physical inconvenience or poor eyesight and hearing. For example, there can be escalators, elevators and other equipment in the subway station, and seats and signs can be provided in the carriages.
(5) Safety design: In the subway system, there are many safety designs, such as non-slip floors, safety railings, emergency parking devices, cameras and so on. These designs can better ensure the safety of passengers.
Suggested additional convenience measures:
(1) Reservation service: During rush hours, sometimes there are too many people in the subway car, and many people have missed their stops. Therefore, it is more convenient to increase the reservation service so that passengers can reserve seats in advance through the mobile APP during peak hours.
(2) Personalized recommendation: The subway system can recommend some relevant information according to users' travel needs and travel history, such as nearby scenic spots, business districts, local food, etc., to provide users with a more personalized travel experience.
(3) Social function: The subway system can add social functions, such as installing equipment for scanning code and making friends in the carriage, providing a convenient place for passengers to communicate.
In addition, more information services can be set up in the subway station, such as electronic screens or broadcasts, to provide real-time information such as current weather conditions, traffic conditions and news events, so as to facilitate passengers to obtain the latest information in time.
At the same time, in order to meet the different needs of passengers, more facilities can be added in the subway station, such as maternal and child rooms, disabled passages and toilets, vending machines, charging piles and so on. To facilitate the daily needs of passengers.
In addition, in view of the safety of subway stations, more monitoring equipment and security personnel can be added to strengthen the safety protection of subway stations and create a safer and more comfortable riding environment for the majority of passengers.
In a word, there are more and more convenience measures in the subway, which provide more comfortable, convenient and safe services for the general public, but at the same time, attention should be paid to maintenance and management to ensure the quality and effect of facilities and services.
