Beijing to put into service fully unmanned subway line this year

Beijing is expected to put into operation the first domestically-developed unmanned subway line in China this year, according to local media (in Chinese).

The Yanfang Line (北京地铁燕房线) will be part of the capital city’s subway construction spree, as authorities said they are pressing ahead with the construction of 20 subway lines stretching around 350 kms this year (in Chinese).

The line connecting the city’s two suburbs Yanshan and Fangshan will play an important role in facilitating the economic development of the two suburbs while easing local residents’ travel.
