Beijing adds three subway lines to its rail network


"The three new lines not only add new east-west routes in the city center but also connect with several north-south lines, providing enhanced public transportation options for residents in areas such as Madian, Anzhen and Dongba," Wu added.
Dongba, a major residential area, had previously lacked subway access. A resident surnamed Su shared her frustration with traffic congestion and her reliance on a car for commuting.
"Sometimes, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to travel just 1 km during rush hour. With the subway now here — two lines reaching Dongba — it's great news," she said. "I tried out Line 3 over the weekend and am considering using the subway for my daily commute next week."
Notably, the first phase of Line 3, which serves Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station, is expected to enhance passenger flow management at the station. Passengers at Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station now have various transportation options, including subways, buses, taxis and private cars.
With the integration of Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station into the urban rail transit network, all seven of the capital's major railway stations and international airports are now accessible via subway.
