15 things you should know about Guangzhou Metro
2019-Jan-24 Source: Newsgd.com

After the opening of Guangzhou Line 14 (first phase), the first Metro running in Conghua District, Guangzhou has begun a new chapter of “metro access to all districts.” Guangzhou Metro services account for over half of the public transport journeys taken in the city. It is no doubt the fastest and most convenient way to get around.

Whether you are new to the city or a born and bred Guangzhouer, the following tips will help you have a nicer trip on the metro.

3 Buying a metro ticket

4 Going through a ticket gate

When taking large luggage or baby carriages onto the metro, you can ask a metro attendant to help you take them through the barrier before you enter.

13 Courtesy seats

Courtesy seats are reserved for those in need at both ends of a train. Please wait for the train at the courtesy waiting area, and contact the metro staff if you need help. Please leave courtesy seats to those in need.
comentário: Os “assentos de cortesia” do metrô de Guangzhou são reservados junto às portas do trem, como também acontece no Brasil com os assentos preferenciais. Há também nesse metrô uma “área de espera de cortesia” na estação, onde o passageiro pode pedir ajuda aos empregados do metrô caso precisem de ajuda.

14 Courtesy express

Guangzhou Metro provides a full-course relay service for group passengers or disabled passengers. Please dial the service hotline 96891 for an appointment.
comentário: O metrô de Ghangzhou oferece um serviço de acompanhamento agendado em viagem completa para passageiros em grupo ou com deficiência.

15 Disabled-friendly facilities

Guangzhou Metro provides the following disability-friendly facilities:

The sidewalk for the visually impaired is a facility that guides the visually impaired to their destination. Usually the sidewalk is paved with two kinds of tiles: bar-shaped tiles (to guide the visually impaired forward) and dotted tiles (to indicate a turn, end point or service point), please do your best to keep these areas clear.

In Guangzhou Metro, braille guide boards are provided at the entrance, exit, concourse and platform for the visually impaired.

Every special passageway is equipped with a Help Button for the visually impaired, so that they can contact metro staff when in need of assistance.
comentário: Existe um “botão de socorro” em cada corredor para pessoas cegas poderem chamar um empregado do metrô.

Another disability-friendly facility in Guangzhou Metro is the stairlift for wheelchair users, when no regular lift is available, Stairlifts have been installed at the entrance or between the platform and concourse.

In Guangzhou Metro, a few stations provide stairlifts that deliver wheelchair users between the platform and concourse, while most stations have an accessible elevator connecting the platform and concourse. In addition, some stations have special elevators accessible from the exits and entrances to the concourse, connecting the ground to the concourse.
comentário: Algumas estações têm “elevadores especiais acessíveis” que encurtam o longo percurso a ser realizado pela maioria dos passageiros. Já observei que isso existe em algumas estações do metrô de São Paulo, que têm até filas controladas por seguranças.
