Jinan Metro (Chinese: 济南地铁; pinyin: Jǐnán Dìtiě), also known as Jinan Rail Transit (Chinese: 济南轨道交通; pinyin: Jǐnán Guǐdào Jiāotōng) is a rapid transit system serving Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, China.
History
Planning of the system began in the early 2000s but was delayed due to 2008 world economic crisis. After years of preparation, construction started at an official ceremony on 29 December 2013. Line 1 was opened on 1 April 2019.
The first phase of construction was adopted by National Development and Reform Commission and included three lines (1, 2, and 3) with 47 stations. The first phase has a total length of 96.5 kilometres (60.0 mi): 72.2 kilometres (44.9 mi) underground, 23.8 kilometres (14.8 mi) elevated, and one-half kilometre (0.3 miles) transitional. It is expected to cost up to ¥48.9 bn. Phase 1 was completed on 27 December 2025, when Lines 4, 6 and 8 opened simultaneously.
The fare system is based on existing smart card technology.
