The road system in Beijing.s central business district(CBD)is being re-designed to
make public transportation easy and improve efficiency.
Plans for 45 roads within the CBD have been approved,measuring 41.5 kilometers in
total. In addition to public buses, free or low price shuttle buses from residence areas to
subway stations will also be provided for commuters.
This is just over four times the number of roads opened in 2007,and will add another
15.5 km to the existing road network.
Besides roads,an underground traffic system has also been operating,which includes
four new subway lines beneath the CBD.
The underground connection system is made up of two levels. The first underground
floor is set aside mainly for pedestrians and commercial facilities, while the second
underground floor is planned for parking.
The city has also invested 140 million yuan to set up a traffic inquiry system,through
which the public can check traffic conditions online and see the most convenient routes on their GPS system. In the future,the CBD will be fully covered by an intelligent traffic
control system.
