2020年我国高铁将达3万公里 覆盖80%大城市
The total mileage of China's high speed rail is expected to reach 30,000 kilometers by 2020, covering more than 80% of major cities, according to a development plan for railway construction released by the National Development and Reform Commission. China will have 150,000 kilometers of rail tracks in operation in 2020, 60% of which are double-track railways and 70% electrified lines, according to the plan. In addition, a 2,000-kilometers network of intercity railway will be formed in economically developed and densely populated areas. A total of 3,000 kilometers of branch lines will be expanded, offering a "seamless" transfer experience. The plan says that high speed trains will carry 65% of the total passengers by 2020, and the travel time between adjacent major cities will be shortened to 1-4 hours. According to requirements, 80% of the train tickets should be available on online platforms. |
