Abstract
With the increase of Beijing urban rail transport network, the structure of the road network is becoming more complex, and passengers have more travel options. Together with the complex paths and different timetables, taking the last train is becoming much more difficult and unsuccessful. To avoid losses, we propose feasible suggestions to the last train with reasonable selling tickets system.
Highlights
In the urban mass transit network [1], poor service time connections of the last trains, long transfer distance, inconvenient transfer and other factors [2] often lead to the embarrassing situations that passengers cannot arrive the destination after one or more transfer though they have tickets, because the needed lines have already stopped operations
2) S or T on the loop line In this situation, passengers need to transfer at a certain Transfer station of the loop line. a) When the path does not contain Xizhimen or Jishuitan, passengers only need to make sure of the last train timetable of the Transfer station. b) When the path contains Xizhimen or Jishuitan, passengers only need to determine which direction he/she should take, which depends on the train and the Transfer station timetable
3) Neither of S and T on the loop line In this situation, passengers need to transfer at Transfer station A and B of the loop line. a) When the path does not contain Xizhimen or Jishuitan, passengers only need to make sure of the last train timetable of A and B. b) When the path contains Xizhimen or Jishuitan, passengers should get on the train at Station A when the train he/she takes will complete the whole trip, get off at Station B, and continue to take another line
Summary
In the urban mass transit network [1], poor service time connections of the last trains, long transfer distance, inconvenient transfer and other factors [2] often lead to the embarrassing situations that passengers cannot arrive the destination after one or more transfer though they have tickets, because the needed lines have already stopped operations. In accordance with the situation that the passengers with tickets cannot catch the last train in the urban mass transit network, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the reasonable ticketing of the last train, in order to ensure the accessible paths and humanized services
