Metro cuts travel time in Fuzhou

SOUTHEASTERN China’s Fujian Province yesterday opened its first metro line in its capital city of Fuzhou.

The Subway Line 1 is 24.89 kilometers in length and serves 21 stations from 6:30am to 10:30pm every day. It travels along the main traffic route in the city. Construction of the project began in April 2011, and a southern section of the line opened for trial operation last May.

With the new metro, local residents can significantly shorten their travel time. By taking the subway Lu Xiu’e saved almost an hour going to work. “Taking the bus or driving are both tiring. I feel much more relaxed going by metro,” she said.

Three other metro lines are also under construction in Fuzhou and will start operation by the end of 2020.
