Daxing Airport Express

Breaking News!

I declare hereby that Daxing Airport Express in Beijing is now in service today on the 26th September!

 As you would expect, this is the first day for the Daxing Airport to commence commercial flights. This line is said to be the first intercity commuting line powered with Fully Automated Operation (FAO), pioneering the era of high speed intercity commuting... Since most Chinese don't commute from a city to another for work.
The automated trains.

 I'm so much obliged to have the honour to mark the line on the list.

Two APM lines inside the Pudong Int'l Aiport are announced to be opened on the 16th September . Once opened, Pudong will become the first airport to be equipped with a steel-wheeled airside transit system.  The official promotion video. It is operated by 4 car automated trains shuttling every 5 minutes in a 2'30'' journey. Checking in at this airport can get more than tricky here: Passengers with the letter G or H on the boarding pass need to take the train to the satellite terminal for their flights after the security check, whereas passengers arriving at the satellite terminals will have to be transported to the main terminal for their luaggage claim. First stop after arriving at the satellite terminal.  You can immagine how y
