Three new metro lines opened on Sunday in Beijing, adding the city’s total urban rail transit length to 879 kilometers, ranking first among Chinese metropolitans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wu Yulan, an official of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, said that the three sections of metro lines include one east-west underground corridor through the city, which is also connected to many north-south rail transit lines, giving new options for people in big residential areas in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wu said Beijing’s rail transit network currently boasts 522 stations, including 98 interchange stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beijing has taken measures to ease traffic congestion by building more subway lines, which provide mass rapid transit solutions in the sprawling metropolis. Since Beijing Metro Line 1 was officially opened on Oct. 1, 1969, to become China’s first urban rail transit, Beijing has built the country’s longest-operating urban rail transit network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wu said the extending rail transit network was developed to serve a better life for the people and to pursue high-quality development in the city. \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
