Lines in operation

Line 4

Line 4 consists of a main line with 8 stops and branch line with 3 stops. [1] Most of the route is grade separated. The trams are powered through a combination of batteries and supercapacitors, which negates the need for continuous overhead line outside of halts. The rolling stock consists of 15 low-floor trams built by CRRC Zhuzhou. The network opened on 15 May 2021. [2] [3] [1]

In 2023 it had the second lowest passenger numbers of all trams in China (save for the Honghe Tram), with 1,372 passengers daily. [4] [5]

Route

The tram connects the urban center of Qiubei and the Puzhehei Tourist Service Center to Puzhehei railway station on the Nanning–Kunming high-speed railway. [1]
