The Fuzhou Metro (simplified Chinese: 福州地铁; traditional Chinese: 福州地鐵; pinyin: Fúzhōu Dìtiě) is a rapid transit system in Fuzhou Metropolitan Area, Fujian Province, China. The first line was planned to open in 2014.[1] Due to the construction difficulties and accidental archaeologic finding, the southern section (9.76 km (6.06 mi)) was delayed to 2016 and the northern section (15.13 km (9.40 mi)) was delayed to 2017.[2] Currently, the Fuzhou Metro Network consists of five lines. They are operated by Fuzhou Metro Group (Lines 1, 4, 5, 6), and Fuzhou CETC Rail Transit Company (Line 2), respectively.
Fuzhou Metro was approved for construction on 3 June 2009. Trial service closed to the public began on 30 December 2015 and lasted for three months.[3] The first operational line (the south section of Line 1 from Sanchajie Station to Fuzhou South Railway Station) started service on 18 May 2016.[4] As of January 2024, Fuzhou Metro has 167.5 km of route and 119 stations open to service.
