Shenyang Metro

Shenyang Metro  Information

The Shenyang metro began operations in the year 2010, while its trial period began a year in advance. Currently, this 55 km long metro network runs on 2 lines and serves 43 stations in total. Despite beginning operations only recently, it is the 7th metro network to be in operations in China. The metro hasn’t ceased growing, and is yet in its growth stage. By the year 2020, if things go according to plan, the Shenyang metro will operate on 4 lines instead of 2. Perhaps, because of this, its daily ridership of 762,000 (2015) will also rise.
