Erma Road Station has posted a closure notice
Yesterday at noon, a reporter from Oriental Today News arrived at Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Erma Road Station.
The square and the road in front of the station are still bustling with traffic and people, and a notice has been posted at the entrance: On September 26, Zhengzhou Passenger Transport New North Station will be officially opened, and then Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Erma Road Station and Zhengzhou North Station will be officially closed. A reporter from Dongfang Jinbao entered the ticket hall, and some ticket windows have been closed. A passenger wanted to buy a ticket to Ruzhou, but was told that the train would no longer depart here.
"Some of the routes have been adjusted in early July, and there are still less than 300 trains left." Chen Jingjing, the head of Zhengzhou Erma Road Station, is still working. Chen Jingjing entered Zhengzhou Erma Road Station in 2000 to work.
Chen Jingjing said that since July this year, the 14 bus lines that originally departed from Erma Road Station have been relocated to Longhai Station, Central Station and Passenger Terminal respectively, and preparations have begun for the relocation, mainly involving Zhumadian and Xinyang and other cities.
"The relocation of the station is a unified request of the government. The traffic congestion in the urban area is getting more and more serious, and the relocation is the general trend. The next step is to wait until the 26th to move to Zhengzhou Passenger Transport New North Station." Chen Jingjing said that by then, all the routes and equipment of the station will be relocated to Zhengzhou Passenger Transport New North Station.
It is understood that in order to facilitate the travel of passengers, Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Center will set up a ticket office at the original Erma Road bus station, and from noon on September 30 to October 1, four temporary ticket offices will be added in front of the ticket hall of the station square to ensure that passengers can purchase tickets in a timely manner.

Do you remember the Iveco line on 2nd Road?
Chen Jingjing is introducing to the reporter that Wang Benxin, the stationmaster on duty, has come over: Chen Station, this old man refuses to talk about the situation at home, let’s get her something to eat first? Following the direction pointed by Wang Ben’s novice, a seventy or eighty-year-old old man is lying on a chair in the waiting room, carrying a cloth bag.
Chen Jingjing said that the old man was transferred, but I don’t know why, not to mention where to go, not to mention the situation at home, has been unable to contact her family. In a few minutes, Wang Benxin brought the old man a hot meal, and the old man took it with tears in his eyes. Such a scene, Wang Benxin, who has worked here since the beginning of building websites, has experienced more times than he can count.
Wang Benxin said that Zhengzhou Erma Road Station has been in operation since the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994. It was originally called Liankai Bus Station and was divided into two courtyards, north and south. The south courtyard was mainly the IVECO special line from Zhengzhou to Luoyang, and the north courtyard was the bus and minibus to the cities in the province. "At that time, there were not many IVECO, which was synonymous with being tall, but it was very popular!" Wang Benxin said. At that time, he was the general director of the station. The railway station area was not so prosperous and there were not so many cars.
For 21 years, Wang Benxin has been working at the station, and he says he is full of affection for it.

By the end of 2016, only two bus stations remained in the urban area
"At the beginning of the construction of the station, it was an open space, and now it is the core of the urban area. Moreover, the facilities of these stations are relatively outdated and can no longer keep up with the pace of social development. By the end of 2016, only two bus stations will be retained in the urban area of Zhengzhou, and all the rest will be moved out." Zhou Feng, deputy general manager of Zhengzhou Transportation Group, introduced.
According to the planning ideas of Zhengzhou Transportation Group’s passenger station, it will be based on the national highway hub planning, combined with the "Six Cities and Ten Groups", relying on the expressway entrance and exit and urban expressway construction, and gradually build a Zhengzhou long-distance bus center station as the core, Zhengzhou long-distance passenger hub station, passenger terminal station, passenger south station, passenger west station, passenger north station as the basic, and each new city group passenger station is a multi-layer passenger station system layout supplemented by radiation and urban passenger satellite stations, so as to comprehensively improve the comprehensive service functions of passenger transportation hubs.
It is understood that the location of the new Zhengzhou Auto Passenger Transport West Station has been finalized, and it is planned to be completed and put into use by the end of 2016 near the Yulong Expressway Toll Station; while Zhengzhou East Station will be relocated to the Zhengzhou Long-distance Passenger Transport Hub opposite Zhengzhou High-speed Railway East Station. "The transfer and docking of the line are currently underway."
According to Zhou Feng’s introduction, only two stations may be retained in the third ring road in Zhengzhou City: Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Center Station and Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Terminal, of which Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Center Station is mainly used to connect with Zhengzhou Railway Station and evacuate passengers. Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Terminal will serve as a tourism distribution center.
Urban traffic congestion relief
Second Road is expected to be smoother
Yesterday, the news that Erma Road Bus Station and Old Passenger North Station will move in after the completion of Zhengzhou New Passenger Station has aroused heated discussions among many citizens and netizens.
@The smiling you in the dream: I’m so sad, it will be inconvenient to go home and take a car in the future!
@Big heart little person: New North Station is so far away! I don’t know when the subway will open, or it will take an hour to take the bus from the station without congestion.
@Who am I who: Finally moved away, every time I enter the city to the station, it takes at least an hour!
@Zhengzhou BRT: Goodbye, Zhengzhou Old North Station, Erma Road Bus Station! An era has come to an end, and the most memorable is the popular IVECO.
No matter whether it is reluctance, attachment, happiness or sadness, by September 26, Zhengzhou Long-distance Bus Erma Road Station and Zhengzhou North Railway Station will end their historical mission and officially close. With the relocation of the stations, the traffic congestion around the two stations is expected to be alleviated to a certain extent.
Officer Sun Hang, squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of Zhengzhou Traffic Patrol Police, said that the vehicles at the Erma Road bus station are mainly in the directions of Puyang, Pingdingshan, Xinyang, etc. The entry and exit of vehicles not only increases the traffic pressure along Nanyang Road and Minggong Road, but also increases the traffic pressure along Erma Road. Especially during the Spring Festival and Golden Week, the pressure on traffic diversion is even greater. The relocation of Erma Road station will relieve the traffic pressure around to a certain extent.
The relevant person in charge of Zhengzhou Transportation Group also said that after the closure of Erma Road Station and Zhengzhou North Station, it will cooperate with Zhengzhou Traffic Patrol Police Brigade 3, Brigade 5 and the transportation management department to evacuate the stranded passenger flow, crack down on black cars and wild cars, and ensure the safe travel of passengers and the surrounding traffic order.
