Shenzhen's metro line 20 has successfully passed safety assessment and is set to be opened for public soon. Line 20 is a rapid transit rail line connecting Terminal 4 of Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport to Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in Bao’an District.
A total of 18 experts from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chengdu, Hefei, Taiyuan, Changchun, Qingdao, Foshan, Dalian, etc. were briefed about the construction work report and conducted a thorough inspection and survey of the construction.
Phase I of the project is the first fully automated, driverless Metro line in Shenzhen.
Fully automated Metro lines offer numerous advantages over their human-controlled counterparts. Metro lines with unattended train operations can reduce required manpower by 30-70 percent, achieve higher frequency, increase space for passengers and improve reliability by over 50 percent, according to the Metro company.
Over the course of 4 days from October 21 to 24, experts conducted several tests and concluded that the line is ready to serve the public. It will be opened sometime soon before the end of this year.
