On December 26, Guangzhou Metro Company announced that the operation time will be 6: 00-22: 00 for No. 3 line and 6: 00-21: 30 for No. 4 line.
Trains are to run from eleven stations of No. 3 line and five stations of No. 4 line at 14:00, December 30. Citizens will be able to experience the 120 kilometers/hour speed of No. 3 line trains and enjoy the metropolitan scenery as they travel on the elevated section of No. 4 line.
According to statistics, after the launch of No. 2 line, passengers increased 30 percent on No. 1 line. Therefore, the launch of Metro line 3 and 4 lines is expected to increase the number of passengers on lines 1 and 2.
No. 4 line trains will feature linear motors. Due to complicated production processes, the production speed of the trains of Metro lines 3 and 4 is slower than the construction speed of tracks.
The train intervals will be about 13 minutes in the early stage and may be adjusted in the second half of 2007.
