Chapter 869: The First Subway Experience
"Mr. Su, you are here. We have finally seen you. The Governor is already inside the subway station." The CEO of MTR Corporation walked quickly to the door of Su Cheng's Rolls-Royce and pointed to the entrance of the subway station.
Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, just continue to receive other people, I will go down by myself."
At this time, the media reporters had already discovered Su Cheng's presence, and they all came over with cameras and long-line microphones 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 Hong Kong several times in his previous life, and he had also taken this subway line in the revised early system. This time, he didn't feel surprised at all, at most he just felt that it was a little new.
It has just been built and has not been officially opened yet, how can it not be new!
Walking into the subway station, there were many security guards inside. Su Cheng went up the stairs and quickly entered the waiting area.
On the track, there was a subway train with several carriages parked. As for its appearance, after being used to seeing all kinds of trains in Suzhou in the past, I thought this old-fashioned carriage was quite ugly.
The front of the car is square, giving it an antique feel.
"Mr. Governor, long time no see!" Su Cheng was the first to greet.
"Mr. Su, we've finally seen you." Mai Lihao also took the initiative to come over and shook hands with Su Cheng.
"Is there no one 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 he didn't know any of them.
"Mr. Su, there's no need to look. These are representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong society, such as doctors, workers, lawyers, drivers, chefs, writers, businessmen, etc. Although there are not enough of them, basically all the major professions are here. Of course you don't know them." Mai Lihao explained with a smile.
"So that's it." Su Cheng understood.
The trial operation of the subway line 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 names at all. The more people-friendly the better.
As for Su Cheng, he could be considered as a special invitation. After all, he donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to build the subway. If he was not invited, it would be a bit too much.
"Mr. Su, let's go inside the carriage and sit down." Mai Lihao said, pointing to the carriage with the door open.
Su Cheng nodded. There was nothing wrong with standing here, but since the doors of the carriages were open, there was no need to continue standing outside.
Mai Lihao also kindly called representatives from other professions to enter the carriage.
As an official, he must appear more approachable in front of the public.
The subway trial operation time is nine o'clock in the morning, and at this time, Su Cheng looked at the time, it was already eight fifty-four in the morning.
Later, everyone entered the carriage one after another.
When the train started, Su Cheng's first feeling was that it was a bit unsteady and noisy.
Of course, he also knew that the subway of this era could not compare with the comfort of the subway decades later. From Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong, the distance of about four kilometers is not actually a direct route to Kwun Tong, after all, the distance is more than four kilometers.
Along the way, three stations, namely Tiu Keng Leng, Yau Tong and Lam Tin, are set up. In other words, there is basically a station every kilometer. Even though some of the stations are still in the wilderness, with the population growth in Hong Kong, it is too easy to develop these places.
Su Cheng calculated that it took nearly 20 minutes to travel from Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong, with an average of 5 minutes per stop. Although it was a bit slow, it was still acceptable.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Tseung Kwan O Water Park will see a surge in visitor traffic after the opening of this subway line.
After all, previously such a large flow of people was achieved only by relying on buses and ferries.
With the direct access to the subway, transportation has become more convenient. As a result, you can imagine the passenger flow here.
After the Tseung Kwan O Amusement Park and the Wildlife Park are completed in the future, this place will become a tourist resort and the flow of people will be even more terrifying.
Reporters carrying cameras and holding wired microphones were already in the carriage interviewing representatives from various industries one by one.
When the subway arrived at Wong Tai Sin Station, the reporter also came to Su Cheng for an interview, and the reporter who interviewed him happened to be from Jiayi TV.
"Mr. Su, how do you feel about taking this subway?"
Since it is his own TV station, Su Cheng would certainly not refuse the interview.
"The experience is very good. Since the 20s, Hong Kong's economy has developed rapidly, the population has continued to increase, and the demand for public transportation has become increasingly greater. The opening of this subway line will effectively reduce the burden on Hong Kong's public transportation system, and at the same time provide citizens with another choice for travel. Today I am honored to be a subway experience officer and one of the first people in Hong Kong to take this new type of transportation.
Through experience, I discovered its many advantages. Its lines are all built underground, effectively saving land resources;
Its passenger capacity is very large, with hundreds of people being able to ride on one subway train;
At the same time, it is also very fast. If I take a bus from Tseung Kwan O to Kwun Tong, it takes half an hour, but taking the subway, it only takes 20 minutes to reach the destination;
The most important thing is that when we take the subway, there will be no traffic jams, which I think is the biggest advantage of the subway.
Therefore, I strongly recommend to all Hong Kong citizens that you can experience the convenience of taking the subway after it is officially opened on October 10st. "
Su Cheng's answer was very cautious. He naturally couldn't point out the shortcomings of this subway. After all, in this era, it was very rare to have such a subway. There were not many cities in the world that had underground rail transit. It could be said that the shortcomings he felt were not actually shortcomings.
Afterwards, a 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 expressing his opinions.
"Mr. Su, what is your actual experience like?" After the place became quiet, Mai Lihao asked with a smile.
"Actually it's okay. Of course, we are not the target passenger flow of the subway. I think our experience is actually unimportant. After all, we usually travel mainly by car. The experience of ordinary citizens truly represents the views of the general public. Our interview is just to make up the numbers." Su Cheng thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Mr. Su is right. Indeed, we cannot represent ordinary people." Mai Lihao couldn't help but sigh after hearing what Su Cheng said. (End of this chapter)
