Zhujiang New Town Automated People Mover System

Zhujiang New Town Automated People Mover System, or APM line, is an automated people mover (APM) system mainly serving the Zhujiang New Town area in Guangzhou, the new CBD of the city. All of its stations are underground. In terms of construction cost per kilometre, it is the most expensive people mover system in the world, yet it is the shortest and least used line in the Guangzhou Metro network. The whole line began service before the Asian Games on 8 November 2010 with the exception of and. This was due to the two stations being located close to the opening ceremony venue.

Lengths and stations
The entire track of the Zhujiang New Town APM, with a length of 3.49 km and all nine stations are laid underground, making it the first all underground urban people mover in the world. The shortest distance between two stations is 315 m with an average of the entire line approximating 473 m.

Stations

 * OSI - Out-of-station interchange (only available for IC cards users)

Operating hours
The system was designed to provide service from 6:00 to 24:00 every day, and may run extra hours on special occasions, such as weekends, holidays or when major events are being held. But due to the low demand, trains operated from 8:00 to 20:00 when the line first opened. The service hours have since been gradually extended and from 4 October 2014 trains have been operating between 7:00 and 23:30.

Rolling stock
The APM uses 14 Bombardier Transportation's APM 100 cars built in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
