Subway Line 4 to start trial operation

Subway Line 4 opens for test run

On May 31, Subway Line 4 started a test run for the first time, marking the existence of all required conditions for operation throughout the line. When Line 4 is put into trial operation before China's National Day on Oct. 1st., the minimal departure interval will be three minutes (the planned minimal departure interval is two minutes). This is to respond to the large passenger flow of over 700,000 every day. Full Story>>
