## Fares

[edit]

The Changzhou Metro system operates with a base fare of 2 yuan, covering the initial 5 kilometers, and subsequent price increments at intervals of 5, 7 and 9 kilometers, with each step adding 1 yuan to the fare. Specifically, fares are structured as follows: 2 yuan for journeys up to 5 kilometers, 3 yuan for trips spanning 5-10 kilometers, 4 yuan for distances of 10-15 kilometers, 5 yuan for 15-22 kilometers, 6 yuan for 22-29 kilometers, and a progressive increase of 1 yuan for every additional 9 kilometers beyond 29 kilometers.[12]

## Trains

[edit]

Trains for the first phase were manufactured by CRRC Nanjing Puzhen. Changzhou Rail Transit Line 1 operates Type B cars, with each train consisting of 6 cars - 4 motor cars and 2 trailer cars. The first phase of the project involved the procurement of 36 trainsets. A 6-car set spans approximately 120 meters (393 ft 8 in) in length and is 2.9 meters (9 ft 6 in) wide, capable of reaching a maximum operating speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Each car features 4 pairs of 1.3 meters (4 ft 3 in) wide doors on both sides, accommodating up to 2062 passengers. The trains are constructed using lightweight aluminum alloy material, designed for a service life of 30 years.[13]
