FAQs

Passenger flow audits should be conducted monthly, with more frequent assessments during peak travel seasons or when significant changes in passenger volumes are expected. Additionally, spot checks should be performed during different times of day to capture varying crowd dynamics.

Key areas include entrance and exit points management, ticket hall efficiency, platform access and egress, escalator and elevator usage patterns, signage and wayfinding effectiveness, queue management systems, passenger information displays, and emergency evacuation routes.

The audit team should include station managers, operations supervisors, safety officers, customer service representatives, and crowd management specialists. It's also beneficial to involve data analysts to interpret passenger flow data and suggest improvements.

By identifying bottlenecks, inefficient layouts, and areas of congestion, this checklist helps optimize station resources and staff deployment. It can lead to better-designed passenger routes, more effective use of space, and improved scheduling of services, all contributing to increased operational efficiency.

After identifying issues, a prioritized action plan should be developed. This may include redesigning problematic areas, updating signage and information systems, retraining staff on crowd management techniques, implementing new technologies for queue management, and revising emergency procedures. Regular follow-ups should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of implemented changes.
