Metro projects completed in 15 Chinese cities

摘要

THE year end is the time when a large number of Chinese transit projects come to fruition, and December 2019 was no exception with the completion of metro projects in 15 cities. The most notable achievement was on December 28 when Beijing became the world's largest metro network at 699km with the opening of a 16.6km extension to Line 7 from Jiaohuachang to Huazhuang, and a 4.5km extension to the Batong Line from Tuqiao to Huazhuang. This has pushed Shanghai into second place.
