[Reporter Wang Rongxiang/Kaohsiung Report] After BLACKPINK, Kaohsiung MRT will face three large-scale concerts including Mayday, Zhang Huimei, and Dagang Kaisheng for the first time on the night of 4/1. Can Jie be loaded?

A Facebook fan who specialized in Kaohsiung better than daily mathematics came to the conclusion: "Although it is crowded, of course it is possible."

It is a good day to explain that the current Siemens EMUs on the Gaojie Red Orange Line have a standard carrying capacity of about 750 people (5/m2), and a maximum carrying capacity of 1005 people (7/m2). Calculated with a shift interval of 3 minutes, the scheduled route capacity (C0) within the maximum carrying interval is approximately 20,100 passengers in one direction. If the theoretically densest shift interval is 2 minutes, the maximum route capacity can reach approximately 30,150 passengers in one direction.

Therefore, Gaojie does meet the definition of a high-volume rapid transit system (refers to a rapid transit system with an A-type right-of-way with a traffic volume of more than 20,000 per hour per unit direction.)

Last Sunday, when BLACKPINK finished its transportation, between 22:30 and 23:30, 40,000 people entered the station in one hour, and the World Games Station was the largest, with more than 20,000 people in one hour.

Since the capacity of the scheduled route is equivalent to this inbound value in one direction, and the two-way capacity is larger, it can certainly accommodate such high-volume transportation. On the contrary, the station body and gates will somewhat limit the flow rate of people entering the station. However, due to the World Games station has Special design, coupled with the large surrounding hinterland, transportation is not a problem.

If a large-scale event is spread across several venues, it can better disperse the flow of people. In addition, the Arena and the World Games are opposite to the left camp of the hub station, and they are separated in different directions from the north to the south, which is conducive to the distribution of traffic.

Therefore, whether it is April or other activities in the future, it is recommended that everyone take the MRT to go there. Although it is crowded when taking the train, it can still complete the transportation most effectively and quickly.
