Line 1 of Kunming Metro (Chinese: 昆明轨道交通1号线; pinyin: Kūnmíng Guǐdào Jiāotōng Yī Hào Xiàn) is a rapid transit line connecting Chenggong District with Kunming's urban center. The line is 34.0 kilometres (21.1 mi) long with 22 stations (excluding Line 2) with South Ring Road as the northern terminal, and University Town (South) as the southern terminal of the main line, and Kunming South Railway Station as the southern terminal of the branch line. The line started operation on 20 May 2013. Line 1's color is red. Currently, through service is provided between Line 2 and this line, meaning passengers from/to Line 2 do not need to transfer at South Ring Road station. Nevertheless, once Line 1 Northwestern extension and Line 2 Phase 2 are completed, this line will be separated from Line 2, and South Ring Road station will become an interchange station.
