GUANGZHOU Miehet Adidas Yeezy Desert Rat 500 Blush All valkoinen , Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Yang Shangru picked up a brand new shared car at south China's Guangzhou South Station just seconds after submitting ID card information, paying a deposit, and getting his face scanned.
"I am waiting to take my friend home from the railway station," he said.
Yang, 24 Miehet Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Carbon Laivasto , is among the first customers to benefit from the station's "train + car sharing" initiative launched this year for the Spring Festival travel rush, intended to supplement public transportation and even out passenger flow.
"Passengers can pick up a car immediately after they arrive at the station," said Chen Guisheng, senior official with China Railway Guangzhou Group.
The 2018 Spring Festival travel rush, known as Chunyun Miehet NEIGHBORHOOD x Adidas Iniki Runner Boost musta , started Thursday. The Chinese Lunar New Year falls on Feb. 16 this year.
Millions of Chinese people return to their hometowns to celebrate the week-long holiday. Guangzhou is expected to see more than 5.4 million trips made by train this year, accounting for about 14 percent of total rail transport in China.
In the past, passengers who lived far away or arrived too late to take public transportation had difficulty heading home, which led to the rise of illegal cars and taxis around the station.
"With car sharing, passengers can go home no matter how late they arrive or how far they live Miehet Naiset Adidas NMD Racer Solar Vaaleanpunainen ," Chen said.
"It can all be done with a mobile app or through the official WeChat account of Guangzhou rail group. Passengers can book a car while on the train before they arrive and can return cars to more than 700 special parking lots in the city," he added.
The station cooperates with four auto companies, including Beijing Automotive Group and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. More than 90 percent of the shared cars are new energy vehicles. The station has three parking lots, with over 1,100 parking spaces Miehet Adidas Tennis HU Holi Festival Keltainen valkoinen , and more than 100 charging facilities.
Another 200 charging facilities are being installed and will be put into use by the end of this year, Chen said.
Since the program was launched last Thursday, an average of 500 car sharing orders are received every day, according to the station.
There are three types of shared cars at the station, which cost from 0.5 yuan to 1.2 yuan per minute or from 183 yuan to 435 yuan per day. A deposit of 1 Miehet Pharrell Williams x Adidas Tennis HU Multi-Color ,000 yuan (about 158.7 U.S.dollars) to 4,000 yuan is required.
"It usually costs me around 90 yuan to take a cab from the station to my home, about 30 kilometers, but the shared car only costs me 21.5 yuan," said user Zhang Huijuan. "With a coupon Miehet Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu Trail Trail Casual valkoinen , I was surprised to see the final cost of 1.5 yuan."
China gave the nod to car sharing services last August, releasing a guideline to support the country's booming car sharing industry and standardize its development.
Unlike traditional car rental services, car sharing services take advantage of new technology such as global-positioning and mobile Internet.
"High-speed trains plus car sharing can help quickly spread out huge passenger flows during Chunyun, providing convenience to passengers and easing pressure on the rail system," said Shu Jianqiu Miehet Adidas Tennis HU Holi Festival Bright Vihreä valkoinen , professor with the Party School of China Railway Guangzhou Group.
BEIJING, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's major stock indices closed lower in the morning session Monday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.18 percent to end at 3,455.9 points.
The Shenzhen Component Index edged down 0.92 percent to end at 10,824.35 points.

UNITED NATIONS, April 22 (Xinhua) -- A record 175 countries signed here on Friday the landmark Paris climate pact to save Mother Earth from the growing menace of global warming.
In an unprecedented display of unity and action in the 70-year history of the United Nations, world leaders and government representatives lined up in the UN General Assembly Hall to ink the historic document, setting a new record for day-one endorsement of any international covenant.
"We are breaking records in this Chamber ... Today is a day for our children and grandchildren and all generations to come," said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon before the start of the signing process, which lasted some 2.5 hours.
Taking place on the UN-designated Earth Day, Friday's signing involved nearly 90 percent of all the existing countries on earth -- from major powers like the United States and China to small island states such as Fiji and Maldives.
France was given the honor to sign the pact first, in recognization of its hosting of the UN climate change conference in Paris in December 2015, which gave birth to the pact after nearly two weeks of tough negotiations.
Fifteen other countries were also among the first to sign as they had pledged to deposit their instruments of ratification immediately after the signing.
The agreement can enter into force 30 days after at least 55 parties that account for at least 55 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions have ratified it.
China became the 21st signatory as Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, the special envoy of President Xi Jinping, announced the country would ratify the pact before the G20 Hangzhou summit in September.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who signed the document with his two-year-old granddaughter Isabelle sitting on his lap, said his country "looks forward to formally joining this agreement this year."
The Paris accord aims to keep the global average rise in temperature below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels through drastic emissions cuts.
However, there remain quite a few obstacles for the achievement of this ambitious goal, particularly the divergence between developed and developing countries over thorny issues like funding, responsibility and technology transfer.
