History edit

In August 2015, planning authorities proposed an underground automatic people mover (APM) line through the Central Business District (CBD).[5]

According to the most recent plan announced in August 2019, the line will run 8.877 km (5.516 mi), have 9 stations from Dongdaqiao to Guangqudonglu.[3] The line was redesigned into a higher capacity light metro line, not an automatic people mover (APM).[3]

A feasibility study for the line was approved in October 2020.[4]

Construction started in July 2021.[1]

Rolling stock edit

It will use 6-car Type LB linear motor rolling stock, similar to the Capital Airport Express of Beijing Subway, and Guangzhou Metro's Line 4, Line 5 and Line 6.[1]
