By 2030, it will use 3-car trains, then increase to 6 cars. Each train is 22 m long, 3.15 m wide, and 3.865 m high. Maximum axle load is 16 tons. The design speed is 90 km/h. Maximum operating speed is 80 km/h. The signaling system uses modern technology, ensuring scientific, efficient and safe train operation with automatic train control systems, automatic train monitoring, computer-based interlocking, train speed detection and measurement, data signal transmission, signal display system, depot signaling and interlocking system, disaster warning system and other auxiliary systems.[12]
