The Yanfang line, Beijing’s first driverless subway line connecting the city’s southwest suburbs to its central urban district started its first pilot run on Wednesday morning.

It is also the capital city’s first subway line that is fully automatic, and fully equipped(装配)with domestic technology.

The line is expected to officially open to citizens at the end of next year.

The difference between the driverless subway line and the ordinary line is that the driverless technology allows the subway train to automatically complete all running procedures, including traveling, dormancy, awakening, opening and closing train doors, as well as returning, without any operations by drivers.

A comprehensive(综合的)control center has been set up for the subway line to far away control and supervise trains. In the event of an emergency, passengers riding on the subway trains are able to contact the control center through the wireless intercom(对讲机)devices that have been set up on every carriage. The camera in the carriage can automatically transmit(传输) images back to the control center.

The first Chinese-made driverless subway train opened in Hong Kong on Dec, 28. The seven-km line extends the MTR network to the Southern District, allowing the special administrative region’s 18 districts to be served by rail.

I like to have friends who are like me. My best friend Vades likes traveling, and so do I. We went to Italy last month and stayed there for a week. Next month we want to go to Paris. However, Vades is more athletic than me.

I like to have friends who are like me. It can be very helpful. I’m a little quiet and my good friend Libby is quiet, too. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with my problems and she can tell me what I should do, because she knows about me better than people who are different from me.
