Chongqing Metro, currently only contains one operating line: the Line 2. It is the first metro system in western China. And it is the first metro employing single-railed, elevated metro. It runs through four administravtive districts (Yuzhong, Jiulongpo, Dadukou, Ba'nan (future plan)). It serves transportation in the main business and public districts in the metropolitan region. Its length is 14.35 km (recently elongated to 19.15 km, by the end of 2005). It was officially opened to service in June 2005.
It is a unique metro system. Due to Chongqing's surrounding geography as a hilly city, this metro system is for the most parts elevated above streets, although a 2.2-km section is underground including 3 of its 18 stations. Meanwhile, it employs the vehicles with strong climbing capabilities. It can transport 30,000 per hour in single direction.
Further development is planned. The Line 3 will be North-South direction, linking the regions separated by the two rivers.
