Reflections on Metro-like Operation of Intercity Railways in Urban Agglomerations:A Case Study of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
With the accelerated integration of urban agglomeration,the demand for intercity travel has been in-creasing,necessitating a more efficient and convenient transportation system.This paper takes the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a case study to explore the necessity and feasibility of adopting a metro-like operational model for intercity railways.To address the shortcomings of intercity railways in terms of attrac-tiveness and operational efficiency,the paper suggests drawing on the experiences of metro-like operations of in-tercity railways in Germany,Tokyo,and Paris.In light of the trends towards digitalization and intelligent railway systems,the paper proposes such measures of improvement as simplifying the boarding process,adapting trans-port capacity,innovating fare system design,refining local government subsidy mechanisms,and enhancing the interoperability of ticketing systems.An implementation analysis is conducted to provide references for the orga-nization of metro-like operation of intercity railways in the Greater Bay Area,and to support the development of city integration from the perspective of integrated transportation in urban agglomerations.
