FAQs

Q1 How is the set temperature inside the subway car determined?
<Answer>
In order to keep the temperature and humidity inside the car comfortable, municipal subways continue to improve the temperature and operation of air conditioning and heating based on opinions from customers and staff conduct surveys.

Q2 Where is the air conditioning/heating position in the subway car?
<Answer>
Cooling is installed on the ceiling of the car. In addition, heating is installed under the seat.

Q3 Is the driver operating the cooling / heating inside the subway car?
<Answer>
Cooling equipment and heating equipment are subject to temperature control based on sensors installed in the car, and self-driving throughout the year so that the temperature inside the car is constant.

Q4 It's hot because the inside of the subway is crowded. Can't you turn up the air conditioning?
<Answer>
In addition to the set temperature, the air conditioning inside the municipal subway automatically controls air conditioning or air blowing according to the temperature, humidity, congestion, and outside air temperature. However, if a sudden temperature change occurs, it may take some time to adjust the temperature.

Q5 Can you tell me a cool place in the subway car?
<Answer>
Among the same vehicles, a blower is installed on the ceiling near the entrance, so you can feel relatively cool.

Q6 Please tell me where it is not cold inside the subway car.
<Answer>
Car No. 5 on the Blue Line, Car No. 3 on the Green Line (in the case of a 4-car train) or Car No. 5 (in the case of a 6-car train) are weak air-conditioned vehicles. For low cooling vehicles, the set temperature is set to be about 1 to 2 ° C higher than ordinary vehicles. In addition, even among the same vehicles, the vicinity of the connection between the vehicle and the vehicle (both ends of the vehicle) is less susceptible to wind from the blower, so relatively cold can be avoided.

Air conditioning may not operate depending on the temperature, humidity, congestion, and outside air temperature inside the car.

<Answer>
In winter, the outside air temperature is low, so vehicles stopped at outdoor depots may take some time from the heating to the warm inside of the car.
