Zhujiang New Town Automated People Mover System (Chinese: 珠江新城旅客自动输送系统), 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 Haixinsha and Canton Tower. This was due to the two stations being located close to the opening ceremony venue.

## Lengths and stations

[edit]

The entire track of the Zhujiang New Town APM, with a length of 3.49 km (2.17 mi) and all nine stations are laid underground,[1] making it the first all underground urban people mover in the world.[dubious - discuss] The shortest distance between two stations is 315 metres (1,033 ft) with an average of the entire line approximating 473 metres (1,552 ft).

## Operating hours

[edit]

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

[edit]

A Guangzhou APM line train

The APM uses 14 Bombardier Transportation's APM 100 cars built in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America.[2] The Guangzhou APM Line train Bombardier Innovia APM 100 vehicles exterior and interior design looks are similar to the Singapore Bukit Panjang LRT Bombardier Innovia APM 100 C801A vehicles. Circular LED headlights and taillights create a more streamlined look.
