History

Planning of the system began in the early 2000s but was delayed due to 2008 world economic crisis. After years of preparation, construction started at an official ceremony on 29 December 2013. Line 1 was opened on 1 April 2019.[7]

The first phase of construction was adopted by National Development and Reform Commission and included three lines (1, 2, and 3) with 47 stations. The first phase has a total length of 96.5 kilometres (60.0 mi): 72.2 kilometres (44.9 mi) underground, 23.8 kilometres (14.8 mi) elevated, and one-half kilometre (0.3 miles) transitional. It is expected to cost up to ¥48.9 bn.

The fare system is based on existing smart card technology.[8]
