What is the difference between subway express and regular trains?

The differences between the two are: first, the subway express is faster than ordinary trains, so the passengers' travel time is relatively reduced; second, the subway express only stops at a few specific stations, while ordinary trains stop at all stations along the way and wait for passengers to get on and off.

The subtitles on the express train display screen in the subway are green and have the word "express", while the subtitles on the slow train display screen are red, so when taking the subway, passengers can identify the train number by color.

Generally speaking, in addition to the display screens and broadcasts that inform passengers of the train numbers, there are also staff on the platform who will hold up "Express Train" signs to remind passengers, which also contain information about the stations along the way.

Express trains and slow trains run on the same track. In order to allow express trains to pass smoothly, a yield line is set up inside the track. The slow train in front will go to the yield line and wait until the express train leaves before sending the passengers to the platform ahead.
