Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has issued guidelines to promote the sustainable development of intercity railways, marking the first official document addressing this sector, which aims to enhance the efficiency and capacity of intercity transportation networks across major urban clusters in China [3][4]. Policy Guidance - Intercity railways are recognized as a vital transportation mode within urban clusters, supporting regional strategies and urbanization efforts. The NDRC has accelerated the development of intercity railway networks in key areas, with a total length nearing 1,800 kilometers, significantly improving connectivity among major cities [4][5]. - The NDRC's guidelines emphasize the need for a balanced approach to development and safety, integrating both hard investments and soft construction to enhance quality and efficiency in intercity railway projects [4][6]. Five Clarifications - **Function Positioning**: Intercity railways are designated as the primary passenger transport mode between key cities, focusing on short to medium-distance travel needs. The guidelines prohibit the use of intercity railway designations for high-speed rail or urban transit systems [5]. - **Standard Conditions**: New intercity railways must have a minimum dual-direction passenger flow of 15 million trips per year. Projects with insufficient demand after five years of operation will be halted, and new lines should generally be at-grade with speeds between 120-200 km/h [5][6]. - **Implementation Procedures**: Planning for intercity rail construction will be coordinated by provincial departments, requiring feasibility studies before approval. Major changes in construction plans must follow established adjustment procedures [6]. - **Regulatory Requirements**: The National Railway Administration will oversee industry regulation, ensuring local governments are accountable for project quality and safety. New projects must have at least 50% capital funding from local governments, and projects failing to achieve cash flow balance after ten years will be suspended [6][7]. - **Management System**: A national coordination mechanism will be established to oversee intercity railway development, involving multiple governmental departments to ensure effective planning and execution [7]. Three Directives - **Resource Utilization**: The guidelines encourage local governments to collaborate with railway companies to maximize existing railway capacity for intercity services, enhancing the efficiency of current rail networks [8][9]. - **Diverse Operation Models**: The guidelines support various operational models, including delegated and self-operated services, allowing local transit companies to manage intercity railways while ensuring fair agreements with railway enterprises [8][9]. - **People-Centric Approach**: The focus is on improving convenience and efficiency for passengers, with an emphasis on flexible ticketing and integrated services across different transport modes [8][10]. Notable Practices - The Guangzhou Metro Group has successfully implemented autonomous operations for intercity railways, establishing a model for local state-owned enterprises to manage these services effectively. This approach has led to increased passenger volumes and operational efficiency [9][10].
