In long-term planning, there will be 5 lines totaling 228 kilometers (142 mi).[7] Due to the urban geography of Lanzhou following a river valley, most of the lines will run east-west parallel to the Yellow River. There will be lines connect the main urban center with Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport, Yuzhong county and Gaolan county.[8]

Technology

Rolling stock

Line 1 is served by a fleet of 26 Type A rolling stock trainsets of 6 cars each, with a capacity of 2460 passengers per trainset.[12][13] Each set is 139.98 metres (459.3 ft) long, 3.09 metres (10.1 ft) wide and 3.8 metres (12 ft) high. The rolling stock is manufactured in Changchun by China's CRRC.[14][15] The train sets are developed to be able to withstand sand storms, and feature aluminium bodywork with sand resistant paint, sand resistant glass, and the ventilation system is designed to handle large amounts of dust in the air.[16][17]

Production of the first trains started in March 2016.[12] In October 2016, the first two metro trains were delivered.[14]

A few of the trainsets in service on Line 1 carry the colour scheme of Line 2 which is still under construction.[18]

Payment system

All stations have ticket barriers which can be entered using China T-union cards, either personally bound, or bought for single journeys from ticketing machines.

Since December 2019, passengers can also pay using the Tencent Ride app (zh:騰訊乘車碼).[19]

gollark: I don't know. I don't think it's a significant amount but I don't have metrics on how often:- there actually is something like that going on/obviously visible, and nothing else happening in non-off-topic channels people actually discuss esolangs in- this is likely to make someone who may otherwise be an active member not be (I'd expect this is driven by other things)
gollark: Not sure if this is actually the case.
gollark: If it's nonjokingly we should maybe not do that then.
gollark: When did we actually *incite* violence?
gollark: It turns out that they are, but luckily I can't punch very hard.
