History

In March 2014, the Bengbu City Planning and Design Institute began to compile the “Bengbu City Rail Transit Network Plan”. After surveying households and major hub areas, the general direction of the rail transit road network was determined. In August 2015, the plan passed the technical review of the expert group.^[4] In March 2016, the executive meeting of the Bengbu City Government formally reviewed and approved the plan.^[6] According to the plan, Bengbu Rail Transit will be constructed in three phases. In the initial stage, the construction of Line 1 and Line 2 will form a "Z" -shaped main development axis. In the development stage, a radial track network was formed by constructing extensions of Line 1 and Lines 3 and 4. In the improvement stage, a more complete rail transit network of "grid + radiation" will be formed by constructing extension lines 1, 4 and 5 and 6.^[7] Construction begun on an starter section of Line 2 in 2018.^[8] In 2020, Bengbu add the plan of the tram.^[5]
