[Explanation] 3 lines, 76.5 kilometers, 60 stations... On April 6, with the opening and operation of the east section of the first phase and the second phase of line 3, the construction of the first phase of Shijiazhuang rail transit was basically completed. Shijiazhuang The network operation of the subway has basically taken shape.
The entire line 3 is equipped with 27 electric buses, using 6 group A cars, and the maximum operating speed is 80 km/h.

Our cars are the same as the first phase of Line 3, and they are all subways jointly produced by Qingdao Sifang and Shijiazhuang Rolling Stock Factory. In this way, the idea of building a Shijiazhuang subway in Shijiazhuang has been realized.
[Explanation] The first phase of the east section and the second phase of Line 3 were completed and opened to traffic, contributing "metro power" to the southeast area of the city. It connects the central city, Yuhua District and Gaocheng District, facilitating the urban spatial connection and promoting regional integration Develop and optimize the strategic layout of urban transportation.

The opening of Line 3 has made up for a shortcoming in this line, connecting our urban area between Zhongshan Road and East Second Ring Road into two east-west main rapid flows, and at the same time introducing our central ring area.
This greatly facilitates the main roads in the east and west directions, and the convenience for these citizens to travel to the city center.
[Explanation] After the opening of the east section of the first phase and the second phase of Line 3, a new version of the train operation diagram will be implemented. The one-way running time from Xisanzhuang Station to Lexiang Station is about 47 minutes, and the operating time is 6:30-22:00. The driving interval is 8 minutes for peak hours and 10 minutes for flat peaks.

According to the passenger flow of each line, we can adjust the capacity in real time. For example, in the crowded phase, we will realize the large and small roads. If we find that the passengers are crowded, we will increase the capacity. When we find that the passengers are scarce, we will respond accordingly. Reduce transportation capacity, and operations will be more flexible and economical.
[Explanation] It is understood that Shijiazhuang Metro combines the construction of rail transit with the development of land around the line stations to optimize urban space, boost economic development, and at the same time feed back rail transit construction.
[Concurrent] Zhou Wei, Chief Engineer of Shijiazhuang Railway Group
We will expedite the planning of suburban railways, accelerate the study of the planning of suburban railways in Gaocheng, Luancheng, Luquan, and Zhengding districts, and strive to create a metropolitan area of Shijiazhuang Metro as soon as possible.
