Changchun Rail Transit

Changchun Rail Transit is the rapid transit and light rail system in the city of Changchun, Jilin Province, China. Its first line, Line 3, is the first true light rail line in Mainland China. The system consists of three light rail lines and three rapid transit lines.

The current total length of the network is 140.77 kilometers (87.470 mi) with 123 stations. 3 sections of 3 lines are under construction.[citation needed]

Line 3 is the first light rail transit line in Mainland China. In September 1999, the State Council of the People's Republic of China formally approved the proposal for the first phase of the Changchun Light Rail Ring Line project.

On October 30, 2002, the first phase of the Changchun Light Rail Transit (from Changchun Railway Station to Weiguang Street) officially opened for service. It serves 17 stations and spans a total length of approximately 14.6 kilometers (about 9.07 miles).

The second phase of the Changchun Light Rail Transit was later opened, extending Line 3 by an additional 9.3 kilometers. The total length of Line 3 then reached 24 kilometers (about 14.91 miles), stretching from the Jingyue Development District to the Kuancheng District.

In 2018, the renovation project of Changchun Railway Station began, which caused the Changchun Railway Station stop on Line 3 to be temporarily suspended.

In April 2021, Lines 3 and 4 of the Changchun Rail Transit were connected for in-station transfers. Two transfer stations are now available: Weimanhuanggong Station and Vocational Institute of Technology Station.

Construction of the first heavy-rail metro line, Line 1, started in 2011, and opened for service on 30 June 2017. Line 1 serves 15 stations and is 18.14 kilometers (11.272 mi) long.
