点评:During our trip to Guangzhou, riding on the metro is our main mode of transportation (besides walking). We bought the 3-day pass (72 hours usage from the time you first use it) for 50rmb per person and used it throughout.
The cost of each metro ride was quite cheap (RMB2-8 on average depending on distance/stations travelled). Well, must say the train rides were pretty cool and comfortable (except during peak hours when the trains were packed and commuters were rushing their way and they also didn't give way to outgoing passengers or give up their seats to those who needed).
They made several announcements before arriving each station in 3 main languages, Mandarin, English and Cantonese and also came with traditional music. That's interesting!
Trains were also on time too. And also the train stations were generally clean and bright.
But what was troubling (or rather a little inconvenience or have they overdone it) was that whenever you enter a metro station gantry, you will need to first go through a "security check", similar to those at the airport (but the staff were more lazed off). You will need to put your bags/carryings through the X-ray machine and you walk through a metal detector device. While safety and security were important, imagine you were doing it everytime you enter a station, could be very troublesome and time-consuming especially during peak hours.
And we spotted at some stations, the so called security guards who supposedly to be watching on the camera from the X-ray machine, dozed off or playing with their phones instead!
Overall, we enjoyed the rides but if they can minimize or reduce the security checking for every station, it would be perfect.
翻译:我们去广州旅行期间,乘坐地铁是我们的主要交通方式(除了步行)。我们买了3天的通行证(从第一次使用开始算起72小时),每人50元,并一直使用。
每次乘坐地铁的费用相当便宜(平均 2-8 元人民币,具体取决于乘坐的距离/车站)。嗯,必须说,乘坐火车非常凉爽和舒适(除了在高峰时段,火车挤满了人,通勤者蜂拥而至,而且他们也不给下车的乘客让路,也不给需要的人让座)。
他们在到达每个车站之前用普通话、英语和粤语三种主要语言发布了几则公告,并伴有传统音乐。那很有意思!
火车也很准时。而且火车站总体上干净明亮。
但令人不安的是(或者说有点不便,或者他们做得太过分了)是,每当你进入地铁站龙门架时,你都需要先经过“安全检查”,类似于机场的检查(但工作人员是更懒了)。您需要将您的包/随身物品通过 X 光机,然后通过金属探测器设备。虽然安全和安保很重要,但想象一下您每次进入车站时都这样做,可能会非常麻烦且耗时,尤其是在高峰时段。
我们在一些车站发现,那些本应在X光机摄像机上观看的所谓保安人员却打瞌睡或玩手机!
总的来说,我们很喜欢这些游乐设施,但如果他们能够最大限度地减少或减少每个车站的安全检查,那就完美了。
