History

Shenyang was one of the first Chinese cities with a metro plan. The initial plan of building a metro line in Shenyang was proposed as early as 1940, when a Japanese company planned a 52-kilometre (32 mi) metro network.[7] The metro program was revived again in 1965, when the Chinese government decided that the four biggest cities at that time, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Shenyang should build metro systems for military reasons. However, due to the Cultural Revolution, only the Beijing subway and Tianjin subway were built. While the Shanghai subway system was put into service in 1995, because of the economy decline in Shenyang during the 1980s–1990s, Shenyang's subway program was postponed again. A light rail system was designed in the early 1990s as a cheaper alternative, however this plan was also abandoned. When the city's economy revived after 2000, the metro dream rematerialized. Finally in 2005, the subway proposal was approved by the Chinese central government and the construction work began.[8]

Future plan

Plans for two east-west lines, two north-south lines, a loop line, and two branches with a total length of 182.5 kilometres (113.4 mi) have been expanded to eleven lines.[19] Currently there are 3 lines being planned in the near-term in preparation for construction. All 3 of them shall be complete by 2018. The original loop line is broken into 2 "L" shaped lines that intersect twice to form a loop. Line 4 will start construction in 2014.[20]
