文档介绍：Beijing’s Transportation System
Railway transport will form the backbone of Beijing’s traffic system, and buses, including trolley buses will be the mainstay.
Eight new subway lines will be built in the urban area, including one linking the city center with Capital Airport.
There will be more than 650 bus lines, and the civilian parking spaces in urban areas will reach 1 and a half million.
The city expects the public transportation system to carry up to 60% of muters, and the average time muter trips within the 5th ring road will not exceed 50 minutes.
The city will also upgrade the taxies. By the year 2008, over 70% of all taxis in operation will be medium and high-priced vehicles, using clean energy fuel, and all of the taxies will meet environmental standards.
