CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- It is learned that the remaining section of CRT Loop Line, namely Erlang (excluded) - Chongqingxi Railway Station - Chongqing Library (excluded) has been opened, indicating that so far Chongqing Loop Line has been completed totally.

In order to accurately and clearly show passengers the direction of trains, Chongqing Rail Transit Group uses the direction of “Inner Loop/Outer Loop” on the signs at each station to indicate the direction of the train. The inner loop is the clockwise driving direction, and the outer loop is the counterclockwise driving direction. Last train of whole journey: the train starts departure station, runs a loop, and finally returns to the departure station. Last train of half journey: the train starts from the departure station, runs half a loop, and returns to the depot after arriving at the final station. 

Tips: The departure time of the last train of half journey is later than that of the last train of whole journey. For more details, please refer to the schedule of the first and last train at each station.

Chongqing Rail Transit Group reminds you that there are tips for you to distinguish directions when taking Loop Line: looking the route diagram above the screen door, seeing the direction of the station platform (the station name in color is the station the train is about to arrive, and that in gray is the station the train has passed), and confirming the destination. If you still don’t know how to take the train, don’t worry, and you can ask the station staff for help. (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
