Line 1 is a crosstown north-south trunk route, stretching from Weijianian in the north of town to Science City in southern Chengdu. This line serves both the northern and the southern railway stations.

Much of Line 18, the first phase of which opened in 2020, runs adjacent to Line 1, however it is an express line which skips some of the stops Line 1 serves.

Future extension

It was proposed in Phase 3 that line 1 should be extended to Laijiadian, or even Dafeng. However this plan is stalled due to military zone in the affected area.
