Phase 1

Designed to reduce traffic congestion and meet the mobility needs of a busy city, the Shenzhen Master Plan includes the development of a sustainable and integrated transport system.

The Mass Transit Rail (MTR) system is at the core of this plan. Phase 1 of the project was opened on 28 December 2004 and comprises 15 stations on the East-West Line 1 and 5 stations on the North-South Line 4. Platforms are almost 140m long to accept the Bombardier 6 car 5-door trains.

Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors UK supplied Shenzhen Metro Co. with 1386 doorways and a sophisticated control system which interfaces with the Siemens signalling system.
