The future “Traffic hub” will bring a "revolution" on city traffic, which will make the white-collars arrive at the core part of city in a short time. Recently, the reporter knows in the Tianhe district that "transportation hub" will be completed by 2019. Then, it needs only 20 minutes from Finance City to Baiyun airport, and 10 minutes to Guangzhou south station.

Transportation hub center will be built, and white-collars arrive at the core part of city in a short time

As is known to all, guangzhou international city is located in the east side of the Pearl river new town. Although construction is not finished, traffic roads have congestion when it comes to heavy traffic. However, the upcoming "hub" will bring a "revolution" on city traffic, and make the white-collars arrive at the core part of city in a short time. Recently, the reporter knows in the Tianhe district that "transportation hub" will be completed by 2019. Then, it needs only 20 minutes from Finance City to Baiyun airport, and 10 minutes to Guangzhou south station.

The latest plan

With smooth traffic, only 10 minutes is needed to GuangZhou south station

Recently, the reporter knows in the Tianhe district that Guangzhou international Finance City will have multiple constructions this year, including 7 core plots to market that include the city's 450-meter landmark and "hub" plot. There will be faster way to go to Baiyun airport from Finance City, which is faster than the existing subway, the airport bus".

In fact, the white-collars who have gone to Baiyun airport from Finance City, all know it needs 50 minutes if you take the airport bus with less traffic and more than an hour with heavy traffic, If it is the subway, it also needs 30 or 40 minutes. Therefore, the traffic problem will become a major bottleneck in development of the city.

A relevant person in charge from Tianhe district told the reporter that In order to improve the traffic efficiency, a new way of fast connection, namely by Guang-Fo tram rail, will be used to realize fast connection. First of all, the Guang-Fo tram rail will not experience the traffic jam. Then, compared with the subway, the Guang-Fo tram rail has the advantages of less stops. Therefore, it takes less time to arrive at Baiyun airport can be faster than other transposition. According to the design, it needs only 20 minutes from Finance City to Baiyun airport, and 10 minutes to Guangzhou south station.

Besides the transportation hub plot, the traffic in Finance City is guaranteed. The intelligent traffic-commanding center will also be moved into the city. Moreover, with the completion of phase two construction, the Finance City will further exert the financial agglomeration effect and headquarters economy effect. It will rely on the inter-city rail (Guang-Fo tram rail), the urban subway and new transportation systems sites to promote regional transportation connectivity.

Reporters’ visit and interview

“Surrounding traffic’s smoothness is also very important,”

Yesterday, reporters visited the construction sites of international Finance City. Mr. Li, a executive form financial industry, said, in general, subway or APM can serve ordinary white-collars’ work. However, many business people or executives are all driving to work in order to keep efficiency and image. So in order to ensure that financial business efficiency in the city, the surrounding traffic smoothness is very important.

Do you know?

The city has a huge underground transportation hub!

The city will develop the nation's largest underground city, which will cover the area of 1.8 million square meters and its area will be 3.6 times largest than the about Zhujiang new town, the existing largest underground space. They are of commercial facility will be 474000 square meters, among which 327000 square meters can be rent out. The area of underground garage will be 999000 square meters. Will such a large underground construction cause the underground traffic jam, or lead to jam of underground space?

Yesterday, from the management party, reporter knew the latest detailed planning of five stories of the Finance City. “Guang-Fo tram rail” will be located in the fifth floor, rather than in the fourth floor reported by most news. And in accordance with the relevant plan, we can find that different subway lines and APM lines are located in different underground floors, rather than just on one floor. As a result, even with heavy traffic, the city underground space can still maintain the smooth operation.
