虽然2009年遭遇国际金融危机,但我国追加的6000亿元铁路建设投资无疑加快了铁路发展的速度,并使铁路建设进入快速发展阶段。过去1年中,石太、合汉、温福、武广等高速铁路相继投入运营。预计到2012年,我国将建成“四纵四横”的高速铁路专线网,铁路沿线的公路客运企业无不感到压力。 Despite the international financial crisis in 2009, the additional investment of 600 billion yuan in railway construction in our country undoubtedly accelerated the pace of railway development and brought railway construction to a rapid development stage. Over the past year, Shitai, Hehan, Wenfu and Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railways have been put into operation one after another. It is estimated that by 2012, China will build a high-speed railway network with “four vertical and four horizontal lines”, and all the highway passenger transport enterprises along the railway are under pressure.
