What precautions should be taken when operating trackless sightseeing trains in scenic areas?

When operating trackless sightseeing trains in scenic areas, to ensure passenger safety and a pleasant riding experience, the following considerations should be kept in mind:

I.乘车 Safety

1. Queuing for Boarding: Passengers are expected to line up in an orderly manner and follow the instructions and guidance of the vehicle’s passenger safety inspection personnel, thereby preventing overcrowding and disorder.
2. Non‑staff members are prohibited from operating the vehicle: Non‑staff members are strictly forbidden from driving the sightseeing train to ensure its safe operation.
3. Keep Your Belongings Secure: Passengers should safeguard their personal items during the ride to prevent loss or damage.
4. Orderly Boarding and Alighting: The sightseeing train shall have designated stops or boarding/alighting points, and passengers must board and alight in an orderly manner, following the principle of “alighting first, then boarding,” to prevent overcrowding and stampede incidents.

5. Secure Your Seat: Before the trackless sightseeing train departs, please ensure all passengers are seated securely and hold onto the handrails. Playing or roughhousing on board, smoking, and bringing hazardous materials aboard are strictly prohibited.
6. No Standing or Walking: During the ride, please remain seated. It is prohibited to stand inside the car or walk around freely while the sightseeing train is in motion, nor to extend your hands, head, or any other body parts outside the car, to avoid unnecessary injury.
7. It is strictly prohibited to board or alight when the sightseeing train has not come to a complete stop: Passengers must not get on or off the train until it has fully stopped, to prevent falls or injuries.

II. Transportation Needs of Special Groups

1. Ride under supervision: Individuals aged 65 and older, those in poor health, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and other special groups must ride the sightseeing train only when accompanied by a guardian.
2. Prohibited passengers: Individuals with heart disease, hypertension, mental health conditions, or alcohol abuse are not permitted to ride to prevent accidents.

III. Maintaining the Scenic Area’s Environment

1. Environmental Protection: Please help protect the environment and practice responsible tourism. Do not litter or discard items inside or outside the sightseeing train, and work together to preserve the scenic area’s beautiful surroundings.

IV. Vehicle Safety Management

1. Safety Distances and Protective Measures: The operation of trackless sightseeing trains shall comply with prescribed safety distances and protective measures. Buildings and ancillary facilities associated with the safe operation of such trains shall meet the requirements of applicable laws and administrative regulations.
2. Maintenance, Upkeep, and Periodic Inspections: The entity operating the trackless sightseeing train shall conduct routine maintenance and periodic self-inspections of the train in use and keep records thereof. In addition, it shall regularly calibrate and service the train’s safety accessories and protective devices, and maintain corresponding records.
3. Inspection Requirements: The entity operating the trackless sightseeing train shall, in accordance with the requirements of the relevant safety technical specifications, submit a request for periodic inspection to the designated inspection agency one month prior to the expiration of the current valid inspection period. Trackless sightseeing trains that have not undergone periodic inspection or that fail such inspection shall not be permitted to continue in service.
