Beijing's Long-Range Plan for Urban Rail Transit to be Completed in 2010
北京市轨道交通远景规划2010年完成

On January 24, 2010, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning announced that Beijing’s Long-Range Plan for Urban Rail Transit after the Year 2005 would be completed this year; express subways will be included as a new concept in the plan, and two stations for Beijing Subway Line 6 now under construction will be identified as initial stations of the proposed express subways.

According to Zhang Yaqin, chief of the Section of Urban Rail Transit Planning of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, the long-range plan for urban rail transit from 2015 to 2020 will take adjustment of Beijing’s functional areas into account, such as the eastward expansion of the CBD and the construction of the Lize Business District. Rail transit will account for more than 50 percent of public transportation in Beijing’s function areas.

As for express subways, one station will be one or two kilometres from another. Dedicated to serving residents commuting long distances, express subways will mainly operate underground.

2010年1月24日,北京市规划委员会发布的信息显示:2015年后的北京轨道交通远景网络规划有望在2010年提前完成。其中,“快线网”将作为一个新名词出现在该远景规划中,而在目前已经开工的北京地铁6号线内将会率先引入“快线”的理念。

所谓快线,是指每相邻两座车站间隔1—2公里的大站快车。以目前北京开工建设的地铁6号线为例,快车和慢车使用同一条隧道,但车站为慢车专门设立了一个停靠区,快车在这两座车站通过时则不停车,节省了很多时间。同时,由于快线是专门为远距离乘车的人们服务的,因此有可能会考虑“对角线”的穿城线路,并且主要采取地下线的形式。

2015—2020年,北京的轨道交通线网规划将配合包括北京商务中心区(CBD)、丽泽商务区等在内的各大功能区的调整。2020年后,北京轨道交通将在公共交通中所占的比例超过50%。

Beijing Basks in 25 “Blue-Sky” Days
2010年1月北京收获25个蓝天 为11年来达标天数最多一月

An Air Quality Monitoring Report issued by the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau on February 1, 2010, said Beijing experienced 25 “blue-sky” days in January with 5 days reaching Grade I and 20 Grade II. These accounted for 80.6 percent of the days monitored, a day more year-on-year than in 2008 and the most standard-air-quality days since 2000. Reductions in coal-burning emissions and added controls of vehicle emissions and dust from building sites resulted in the cleaner skies.

According to the bureau, Beijing had 285 days of Grade II or better air quality in 2009, 25 days more than expected.

2010年2月1日,北京市环保局发布的空气质量监测报告显示:截至2010年1月31日,北京共收获25个达标天,其中一级天数5天,二级天数20天,占到监测总天数的80.6%,比去年同期增加1天,是2000年以来同期空气质量达标天数最多的一月。

据悉,2010年1月17日—20日,北京市受稳定天气形势影响,中低空明显升温,夜间逆温较强,地面气压场较弱,风速持续较小,气象条件较不利于污染物扩散,空气质量连续4天超标。但除此之外,1月其它时间全市冷空气活动频繁,平均风速大,大气扩散条件好,并出现一次全市范围的大到暴雪天气。此外,采暖季燃煤污染降低,机动车、施工扬尘污染得到控制等因素都使1月空气质量转好。

根据北京市环保局的预测,北京的“蓝天”目标将保持逐年递增的趋势。到2020年,“蓝天”目标拟达到全年总天数的85%,即超过310天。
