Can the yellow vest of Beijing subway rest?

station staff

Subway stations are on duty 24 hours a day, so there are many night shift positions in the stations. Stationmaster, conductor, flight attendant and conductor are all standard, and some larger subway stations may have more. They usually go back to work at the station after 20 pm. They can't go straight home after working in the subway. They had to spend the night at the station. But in fact, even in the early morning, the station is brightly lit and lively, because there are many construction workers besides the station staff just mentioned at night. After all, the train has been running on the line during the day, and there are some maintenance of track lines, signals, communications and other equipment, painting of tunnel advertising light boxes, cleaning of stations and screen doors and so on. It must be done during the skylight time at night.

Some night shift posts, such as stationmaster on duty, driving attendant and other key driving posts, generally have no rest time, while passenger attendants and ticket sellers generally have rest time, and they can rest for a few hours after collecting the cash box of the automatic ticket vending machine, counting the ticket amount for the day, filling out the report form and so on. At about 5: 00 in the morning, each post started to check the line before operation according to the division of labor, and detected the screen doors, escalators, automatic ticket vending machines and gates, then opened the entrances and exits in turn before the first bus arrived 10 minutes, and then the conductor opened the window to sell tickets. After a busy night and finishing, the subway station started a new day's operation. Finally, you can only go back to work and rest after colleagues from all positions in the morning shift come to take over.

Subway driver

Drivers work in three shifts. After picking up the car at night, the trains all go back to the depot for car washing and maintenance. I want to know where the subway train goes to bathe, check and sleep at night. ) Here: How is the subway assembled underground? Or are you lucky enough to assemble it on the ground? How to transport it underground? ), the depot is equipped with a driver's apartment. Drivers on the morning shift should go to the driver's apartment one night in advance to prepare for the shift and rest. They must get up before 4 o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, they will take part in, prepare and check the car, and then take the first bus into the main line. Later, other drivers also drove the train from the depot to the main line and put it into operation one after another. By the way, the first bus mentioned just now is still different from the first bus that everyone knows. The first train is also called a rolling train, which means to start the passenger-free train in advance to ensure that all lines, equipment and power supply are normal.

Other cases

Finally, there is another situation. Sometimes, according to the plan, subway workers who return to the station for night drills or training will usually take a taxi home after the drills and training. If they live far away, they will find a place to take a nap and take the subway home after the operation starts in the morning.

Therefore, whether it is subway drivers, station staff, construction workers, etc. It is normal to work night shifts frequently, with an average of two nights a week. Especially in the morning rush hour every day, most of the staff you see in the subway station stay up all night and work for more than ten hours. They will stick to the rush hour until nearly 9 o'clock. Although we all know that all walks of life have their own hardships and difficulties, we still hope that everyone will give them more care and understanding in their daily subway rides. Ah … as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world …
