Background

Planning for a metro system began in the early 2000s in the meantime the mostly elevated Xiamen BRT opened in 2008. The initial phase of construction of the metro system was compiled as the Xiamen Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan (2011–2020) on 24 December 2010 and was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission on 11 May 2012.[7][8] The construction started on 13 November 2013.[9] Xiamen Urban Rail Transit Group was founded for the purpose of construction and operation. On 8 October 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission approved phase II of the Xiamen Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan (2016–2022).

The approved phase I of system development includes three lines (1, 2, 3) with 62 stations, 75.3 kilometres (46.8 mi) in length. The construction cost is projected to be 50.37 billion yuan.[10][11]

The approved phase II of system development includes four lines (2 Phase II, 3 Phase II, 4, 6) with 67 stations, 152.2 kilometres (94.6 mi) in length. The construction cost is projected to be 100.092 billion yuan.[12][13]

The approved phase II of system adjustment includes Lines 3 Phase III, which will be extended further south by 4 stations, 7.35 kilometres (4.57 mi) in length. The construction cost is projected to be 5.769 billion yuan.[14]

In addition, an intercity railway system consisting of two lines (Quanzhou–Xiamen–Zhangzhou and Zhangzhou–Gangwei–Xiamen) and 263 kilometres (163 mi) in length was also approved.[15][16]
