I hope you brought your subway card with you because today I'm taking you on a 104-kilometer journey between the two most distant stations in the Beijing subway network! From serene suburbs to the crowded underground tunnels of the second longest loop line in the world and along the way, some pretty cool metro art, it's a city adventure that won't break the piggy bank.

the craziest thing is the price!! I can't believe the whole journey of 100+kms only cost 10 yuan? It's simply unimaginable here in Shenzhen...

@longinchina Жыл бұрын

How much is the fare in Shenzhen? The Beijing Subway fare ranges from 3 to 10 yuan, based on distance.

¥14 i guess, from the very SE to the very NW. Not too expensive lol

100 km only cost about 1.5 us dollars unbelieveable. In NYC I think the subway fare is 3 dollars .

i’m so glad that you made this!! the original video that introduced me to your channel was your first video riding all the lines, as i was searching for content like that, exploring subways. i’ve grown to really love all the other videos you upload, and i admire your dedication to subway exploration!!!!

@longinchina Жыл бұрын

Glad to know you've been around since the first subway video! I'm constantly thinking of transportation-related content -- bike rides, walking challenges, subway stuff... but I try to diversify my ideas to appeal to more people. That said, it seems that subway videos are a hit -- so maybe that's the way to go!

More facts about China subways: The people who over 60-64 years old are half price for riding. People over 65 years old are free for riding. All underground metro stations are air conditionined. All metro stations platform installed safety screens wall. Mobile signal are covered all metro systems. Some metro lines are running 160km/h. Pls, check Guangzhou metro line 18 and line 22 which are running 160km/h between some segments. The ridership in Guangzhou metro are 2.3 billion per year in recent years. That's the busiest metro in the world.

You're probably wrong about the 3rd point. In fact, some underground stations still have only installed platform gates, which means the platforms are half-open and probably not air-conditioned

My first time going this far out actually, but weird enough it wasn't as "rural" as I had imagined. There are more remote districts, where the subway network doesn't reach (but accessible by railway), which I'm hoping I'll visit some time soon.

Yanfang Line and Fangshan Line will be merged in the future. Chinese taxis are run by LP gas, so taxi driver may have to stop by gas station with long distance travel.

Problem with subway is it stops at every station. Only if there was a solution where for certain train it can skip some stops so that it can reach destination further away faster.

@carkawalakhatulistiwa Жыл бұрын

Only new York subway do that 😂. You just use computer rel. For faster not use metro.

Guangzhou Metro lines 14, 18, and 21 have bypass tracks at stations and also run express services. In the tunnel segments between stations, there are only two tracks unlike New York which usually has 4 tracks running the entire length of the express segments. At stations however, the local trains merge onto a branch track that goes into the station instead of the express trains merging onto a bypass track, which enables the express trains to pass through without slowing down to switch tracks. The express tracks themselves also pass behind a wall of advertisements facing the station platforms, which is why you'd never actually see the express trains if you were standing on the platform at a stop for local trains only

Hey Derek. I wanted to cross the longest distance between two stations on the Beijing Subway, and they happened to be these two: Yanshan in the SW and Fengbo in NE. I could have ended the trip in Yanshan (instead of starting from it) but this station is super far from where I live, that I wanted to get it over with ASAP. haha!

Generally, public transportation is cheap in china. It's a service. Some cities even have free public transport day for every weekends or once every month.
