The following is a few questions and answers of the Guangzhou Metro:

Q: Why do you need to set up women's cars?

A: As a window of urban civilization in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Metro has been exploring new modes of subway operation and service, continuously improving the operation level and service quality, and leading the urban civilization.

Any measures that are conducive to enhancing urban civilization and improving people's travel comfort will be actively tried if conditions permit. After the CPPCC members proposed the proposal of setting up "female compartments," the MTRC organized in-depth studies, especially the analysis of the practice of setting up women's carriages in a few cities in the world, and the actual conditions of the Guangzhou Metro, formulated a set-up plan, and solicited the relevant CPPCC. The opinions of the members were approved.

Guangzhou Metro sincerely hopes that through setting up women's carriages, we will continue to carry forward the civilization concept of “caring for women and respecting women”.

Q: How are women's cars set up?

A: From June 28th onwards, on the weekdays from 7:30 to 9:30 and from 17:00 to 19:00 (the holidays will not be implemented), the first line will be on the 1st line toward Guangzhou East Railway Station and westward. The first carriage in the direction of Long (screen doors 2 to 5 on both platforms) was set to be female. During this period, the compartment is promoted for use by female passengers, while at other times the compartment is used as an ordinary compartment.

Q: During the pilot period, what measures does the Guangzhou Metro have to guide?

A: From the pilot day, the Guangzhou Metro will conduct publicity through station radio, notices, wall stickers, ground stickers, carriage packaging, etc. In the initial stage of the pilot, volunteers will also be added to the platform to guide.

Q: Is the female carriage a special property?

A: First of all, there is no legal basis for the mandatory different treatment of different passengers on public transportation. Second, if it is set to be exclusive, it does not meet the actual situation of male-female partners, young and old accompaniments, and family travel. Therefore, women's carriages are advocating in nature. We hope that through long-term advocacy, we will continue to carry forward the civilization concept of "caring for women and respecting women."

Q: Why did you choose Line 1 to pilot?

A: The Guangzhou Metro conducted a comprehensive analysis of the passenger traffic, full-load rate, passenger flow intensity, and boarding population of the 10 routes that have been opened, and finally decided to select the No. 1 line with relatively modest data as a pilot.

Q: Why only one car? Why only set in the morning and evening peaks?

Answer: Selecting a train for each train to conduct pilots in the morning and evening peaks will not only ensure the smooth operation of the order, but also ensure that the pilot results are targeted, which is conducive to the evaluation work after the end of the trial.

Q: Will it increase congestion or cause waste of transportation?

A: It was precisely due to careful consideration that the Guangzhou Metro decided to pilot first. Therefore, the Guangzhou Metro will collect data, listen to opinions, and evaluate the effect through pilots. The majority of passengers are welcome to use our opinions.

Q: How do passengers reflect their views on women's cars?

A: From the date of implementation of the pilot, all sectors of the community and the general public can use their opinions in the following ways:

1. Call the service hotline 96791;

2, send e-mail to;

3. Letter to Tower A of Wansheng Plaza, 1238 Xingang East Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou City;

4. Guangzhou Metro’s official Weibo and official WeChat.

Guangzhou Metro emphasizes that it will listen to the opinions and suggestions from all walks of life and the general public in an open manner, and carry out a summary assessment in phases to determine the next step.
