Urban rail transit in China encompasses a broad range ofurban andsuburban electric passenger railmass transit systems includingsubway,light rail,tram andmaglev.[1] Some classifications also include non-railbus rapid transport.
As of December 2024,China has the world's longesturban rail transit system[failed verification] with 11,000.88 km (6,835.63 mi) of urban rail nationwide[failed verification] in 310 metro lines in 47 cities[failed verification], accounting for9 of the 10 longest metro systems, with the exceptions of theMoscow Metro.[2]
Half of the top 10 busiest metro systems are in China,[3] and theShanghai Metro, though started operating in 1993, is now the longest metro system worldwide.[4][5][6]
Several Chinese cities had urban electric tramwaysin the early 20th century, most of which were dismantled in the 1950s–1970s. The only surviving tramways are inDalian (Dairen) andChangchun (seetrams in Dalian andtrams in Changchun).Nanjing (Nanking) hadan urban railway [zh] from 1907 to 1958.
Thefirst subway in China was built inBeijing in 1969 (but it was only handed to civilian control in 1981 and trial operations ended later in the same year; before which credentials were required). TheTianjin Metro followed in 1984. TheMTR Corporation Limited from across the border inHong Kong has investment, consulting and management stakes in the rapid transit systems of several mainland Chinese cities (having completedtheir first section of subway and entered into revenue operation in 1979 in New Kowloon, at the time when the territory wasunder British rule).
The rapid growth of theChinese economy since the 1980s has created a huge surge in demand for urban transport. This prompted cities across China to pursue and draft proposals for subway networks, withShanghai andGuangzhou opening their first sections of subway in the 1990s, inspiring more cities to propose subway networks. In 1995, the Central Government, alarmed by the high cost and financial debt from these ambitious subway plans, put out a "notice on the suspension of approval of urban underground rapid rail transit projects" barring new subway systems outside of Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Shanghai from being built.[7] At the timeNanjing,Wuhan,Chongqing,Dalian andShenzhen had advanced proposals waiting to be approved.Wuhan,Chongqing,Dalian managed to circumvent the moratorium on subway construction by constructing and opening lower cost elevated lines,light metros, andmonorails in the early 2000s.Changchun was the first city constructing reallight rail system in China, which began operation in 2002. Its first transit line,Line 3, is a light rail line not fully grade separated, still having four level crossings as of 2023. It's also the only rapid transit system combined light rail and rapid transit lines in China, which can directly transfer to each other.[citation needed]
Rapid urbanization of China led to severe congestion and pollution in urban areas leading to the suspension being lifted. Initially,light metro lines using small profile and shorter rolling stock were constructed to reduce costs. It was assumed that as ridership grows the line will operate trains at a low headway to increase capacity. This design paradigm was known in China as "small rolling stock, high density" operation.[8][9][10] However, after a few years operating, many of these lines such as Guangzhou MetroLine 3,Line 6, Shanghai MetroLine 6, andLine 8 were severely overcapacity. Guangzhou MetroLine 3 was able to reconfigure from 3-car trains into 6-car trains to slightly relieve overcapacity. This led many cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu to use higher capacity designs on newer lines.[citation needed]
Since the mid-2000s, the growth of rapid transit systems in Chinese cities has rapidly accelerated, with most of the world's new subway mileage in the past decade opening in China.[11][4][12][13] From 2009 to 2015, China built 87 mass transit rail lines, totaling 3,100 km (1,900 mi), in 25 cities at the cost of¥988.6 billion.[14] In 2016, the Chinese government lowered the minimum population criteria for a city to start planning a metro system from 3 million to 1.5 million residents.[15] As part of its13th Five Year Plan, the Chinese government published a transport whitepaper titled "Development of China's Transport". The plan envisions a more sustainable transport system with priority focused on high-capacity public transit particularlyurban rail transit andbus rapid transit. All cities with over 3 million residents will start or continue to develop urban rail networks.Regional rail networks will be constructed internally connect and integrate urban agglomerations such as theJingjinji,Yangtze River Delta andPearl River Delta areas.[16][17] In 2017, some 43 smaller third-tier cities in China have received approval to develop subway lines.[18]
