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.
The three new lines are the first phase of Line 3, connecting Dongsishitiao to Dongba North, Line 12, connecting Sijiqingqiao to Dongba North and the remaining section of the southern extension of the Changping Line. They contribute approximately 43 km to Beijing's urban rail transit network, according to the commission.
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.
Wu said Beijing's rail transit network currently boasts 522 stations, including 98 interchange stations.
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.
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.
