"Mr. Su, you're here. I've finally waited for you. Mr. Governor is already inside the subway station." The CEO of the MTR Corporation quickly walked to the door of the Rolls-Royce in Sioux City and pointed to the entrance of the subway station.
Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, just continue to receive other people, I'll go down by myself."
At this time, those media reporters had already arrived After discovering Su Cheng's existence, they all carried cameras and long-line microphones and wanted to come over to interview Su Cheng.
However, Su Cheng just smiled at them and walked into the underground station under the protection of bodyguards.
Su Cheng had been to Xiangjiang several times in his previous life, and he had also taken the subway line in the revised early system. At this time, he didn't find anything surprising. At most, he thought it was a bit new.
It has just been built and has not been officially opened yet. How can it be new?
Walking into the subway station, there were many guards inside. Su Cheng followed the stairs and quickly entered the waiting area.
On the track, there is already a subway train with several carriages parked. It looks like it. I am used to seeing all kinds of trains in the previous life in Sioux City, so I think this old carriage is quite ugly.
The front of the car is square and square, giving it an antique feel.
"Mr. Governor, long time no see!" Su Cheng was the first to say hello.
"Mr. Su, I've been waiting for you." Mailihao also took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Su Cheng.
"Is there anyone else I know?" Su Cheng looked around and found that in addition to the guards, there were more than a hundred people at the scene, but these more than a hundred people Don't know anyone.
"Mr. Su, there is no need to read. These are representatives of all walks of life in Hong Kong society, such as doctors, workers, lawyers, drivers, chefs, writers, businessmen, etc., although they have not reached 360 They are pretty good at it, but basically all the major professions are available here, so of course you don’t know them,” Mai Lihao explained with a smile.
“That’s it.” Su Cheng understood.
The trial operation of subway lines is actually mainly for publicity, and the passengers are mainly ordinary people. Ordinary people must be taken into consideration. For this kind of thing, there is no need to invite any big shots. The more people-friendly, the better.
As for Sioux City, it can be considered a special invitation. After all, he donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to build the subway for free. It would be a bit too much to not invite him.
"Mr. Su, let's go inside and sit in the carriage." Mailihao pointed to the carriage with the door open and said.
Su Cheng nodded. Although it was okay to keep standing here, since the carriage doors were opened, there was no need to continue standing outside.
Malley also cordially called representatives of other professions to enter the carriage together.
As an official, he must be more friendly to the people in front of the public.
The trial operation time of the subway was nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, Su Cheng looked at the time and found that it was already 8:54 in the morning.
In the back, everyone entered the carriage one after another.
When the train started, Sioux City’s first feeling was that the stability was a bit poor and the noise was a bit loud.
Of course, he also knows that the subway of this era cannot be compared with the comfort of the subway in a few decades. The distance from Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong is about four kilometers. In fact, it is not directly to Kwun Tong. After all, the distance is just over four kilometers.
Along the way, three stations have been set up: Tiu Keng Ling, Yau Tong, and Lam Tin. In other words, there is basically one station per kilometer. Even if some stations are still in the wild mountains, with the population increase in Xiangjiang, these stations If a place wants to be developed, it should not be too easy.
Sioux City calculated that it took nearly 20 minutes to travel from Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong, with an average of 5 minutes at each stop. Although it was a bit slow, it was still acceptable.
Not surprisingly, after the opening of this subway, Tseung Kwan O Water Park will see a huge explosion in passenger traffic.
After all, it was possible to have such a large flow of people just by relying on buses and ferries.
After the subway can be directly connected, transportation will be more convenient. In this way, the passenger flow here can be imagined.
When the Tseung Kwan O Amusement Park and Safari Park are built in the future, it will become a tourist resort and the flow of people will be even more terrifying.
The reporters carrying cameras and wired microphones were already interviewing representatives from various industries in the carriage one by one.
When the subway arrived at Wong Tai Sin Station, the reporter also interviewed him here in Sioux City, and the reporter who happened to interview him was from Jiayi TV Station.
"Mr. Su, how do you feel about riding this subway?"
Since it is his own TV station, Su Cheng will certainly not refuse the interview.
"The experience is very good. Since the 1960s, Xiangjiang's economy has developed rapidly, the population has continued to increase, and the demand for public transportation has increased. The opening of this subway line will effectively reduce the burden on Xiangjiang's public transportation system, and at the same time It gives citizens another choice when traveling. Today I am honored to be a subway experience officer and one of the first people in Xiangjiang to take advantage of this new type of transportation.
Through the experience, I discovered its benefits. It has many advantages. Its lines are built underground, which effectively saves land resources;
Its passenger capacity is very large, and one subway can carry hundreds of people;
At the same time, its speed is also It is very fast. If I take the bus from Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong, it takes half an hour, but by taking the subway, it only takes twenty minutes to reach the destination;
The most important thing is that we take the subway, it There are no traffic jams, which is the biggest advantage of the subway in my opinion.
Therefore, I strongly recommend here to the citizens of Xiangjiang that after the subway is officially opened on October 1st, they can experience the convenience of taking the subway. ”
Su Cheng’s answer was very cautious. It was naturally impossible for him to talk about the shortcomings of this subway. After all, in this era, it is very rare to have such a subway. The whole world has underground rail transit. There are not many cities in the city, so it can be said that the shortcomings he feels are not shortcomings.
Then, the reporter from Jiayi TV also interviewed Mai Lihao, who was sitting next to Su Cheng.
Mai Lihao's answer was even more official. His answer made Su Cheng feel that he really needed to learn more about making comments.
"What is Mr. Su's real experience like?" "After the place became quiet, Mailihao asked with a smile.
"Actually, it's okay. Of course, we are not the passenger flow target of the subway. I think our experience is actually irrelevant. After all, we usually travel mainly by taking cars. The experience of ordinary citizens is the real meaning. They represent the views of the general public, and our interviews are just a make-up." Su Cheng thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Mr. Su is right. Indeed, we cannot represent ordinary people." Mailihao couldn't help but sigh after hearing Su Cheng's words. (End of this chapter)
