Starting from the first bus on April 18, the Pingguoyuan Station of Beijing Subway Line 1 will be closed to cooperate with the construction of the Pingguoyuan Comprehensive Transportation Hub and the transformation of the Pingguoyuan Station of the subway.
To facilitate public travel, a temporary ferry line between Pingguoyuan Station and Gucheng Station will be added during the morning and evening peak hours on weekdays. Opening hours of temporary ferry lines: 6: 30-9: 00 at Pingguoyuan Station and 17: 00-19: 30 at Gucheng Station.
It is expected that by the end of 2021, Pingguoyuan subway station will "evolve" into an integrated transportation hub, serving the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games.
