There will be lines connecting the main urban center with Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport, Yuzhong county and Gaolan county. [9]

[17] [18]

Production of the first trains started in March 2016. [13] In October 2016, the first two metro trains were delivered. [15]

A few of the trainsets in service on Line 1 carry the colour scheme of Line 2 which is still under construction. [19]
