A method for realizing a fast answer of a terminal in a digital trunking communication system comprises: after receiving a channel assignment message signalling from a system side, a main control device of the terminal establishes a service channel, determines a call type, and executes a voice mode flow when the call is a normal voice call, or sends a service interface display message to a control chip of the terminal when the call is a trunking call; and the control chip, according to the service interface display message sent by the main control device, displays a service interface and begins to answer voice information. A terminal in the digital trunking communication system is further provided, which comprises a main control device and a control chip. The terminal in the digital trunking communication system and method for realizing the fast answer thereof adapt to the requirements for a fast access and display of the terminal in the digital trunking communication system and better meet the requirements of the digital trunking users.
