Guangzhou MetroGuangzhou Metro
Guangzhou’s subway system is the most convenient way to get through the city’s heavy traffic.  Opened in 1999, the metro currently has 2 lines operating on a total length of 41.8 kms. The East-West line (line 1) runs west from the East train station to Xilang (Fangcun District), while line 2 runs north – south, passing the Central Railway Station. The subway system operates from 6:15 AM to 11 PM.  Subway single fare tickets range from  ¥2 to ¥8, depending on the distance to be travelled.  Stored value cards for multiple journeys can also be purchased at the metro station ticket desks.

A total of 7 lines and 206 km are planned for the final build-out. Contrary information cites a 5 line system with 129 km to be completed by 2010.

Two light rail lines, one of which will serve the airport, are scheduled to begin construction before 2005. In addition, a new 22 km metro project that will link Guangzhou, Foshan and Nanhai is expected to begin construction by the end of 2002, with a tentative opening in 2005.
