Baotou Metro is a proposed metro system to serve the city of Baotou,Inner Mongolia,China. Initial go ahead was granted by the NDRC in 2016 [1] and construction started in May 2017,but the project was put on hold by the NDRC in November 2017 owing to concerns over cost. [2]
The east-west Line 1 was to be 27.8 km (17.3 mi) long with 22 stations. Construction on the RMB 20.19 bn ($US 3 bn) project began in May 2017 with commissioning scheduled for 2021.
The first phase of the north-south Line 2 was 14.3 km (8.9 mi) long with 11 stations and a budget of RMB 10.36bn. Construction was due to begin in 2018 with the line to open in 2022.
Services on both lines were to be operated by a fleet of six-car type A metro trains operating at a maximum of 80 km/h (50 mph).
In the long term,a 182.5 km (113.40 mi) six-line network with 125 stations was envisaged. However,the entire plan is suspended as of November 2017. [2]
