What are the characteristics of Suzhou rail transit operations?

1. Light rail has the advantages of large transportation capacity, fast speed, low pollution, low energy consumption, punctual operation, and high safety. Urban light rail, subway, urban railway and other forms of rail transit constitute the urban rapid rail transit system. It can effectively alleviate the tension between population and transportation resources, cars and transportation facilities. As an effective carrier to improve urban transportation status, light rail has become an important choice for modern metropolises.

2. It greatly facilitates passenger travel and enables residents to enjoy a higher quality of life. Light rail is also more in line with green transportation standards, and the construction of large-scale municipal supporting facilities where the track extends is more conducive to comprehensive environmental management.

3. The characteristics of light rail are fast speed, large transportation volume, low pollution and high safety. In terms of transportation volume, the subway has the largest transportation volume, and can transport 40,000 to 60,000 people per hour in one direction. The light rail can transport 20,000 to 30,000 passengers, while the tram has the smallest transport capacity, only 10,000 passengers. The "light rail" in urban rail transit corresponds to the "subway". The trams, guide rail rubber-tyred trains in the urban bus system and the urban rail transit light rail trains are technically completely different, and therefore do not belong to the light rail system. Light rail in urban rail transit refers to trains running on international standard double tracks with a gauge of 1435 mm. The train operation uses an automated signaling system.
