Beijing: the chaos of the world's busiest metro
Citizens of Beijing are already accustomed to public transport overcrowded, to the immense traffic jams and the intense smog and the option of cycling is not feasible for the most part. This week, public transport users are faced with yet another obstacle: a system of airport-style security in some metro stations. The result was massive queues and long waits to take the subway.The Beijing subway network is the busiest in the world, with about 10 million trips per day between about 200 stations. This means that a temporary malfunction can form numerous groups on platforms.Now, in addition to the usual safety inspection where users spend the trunk for similar machines at airports, people also have to be inspected, such as at airports. About nine metro stations in Beijing have already installed the system and, according to Beijing police, verification "should take no more than 30 minutes".The authorities have installed a security system tighter after terrorists shooting explosives for a market full of people in Urumqi, in Western China, causing the death of more than 30 people earlier this month, the City Lab.Besides more stringent control in subway stations, Beijing also introduced a fleet of helicopters that watch and photograph various real-time transport centres. Additionally, police officers patrolling subway stations began to be fitted with guns.However, Beijing citizens say they don't feel safe, despite the strengthening of security.
