As of the end of June, 31 cities on the Chinese mainland had urban rail transit in operation, with a total length of 3,965 km, according to the China Association of Metros.

中國城市軌道交通協會稱，截至今年6月底，中國內地已有31個城市開通運營城市軌道交通，運營總里程達3965公里。

Another 53 cities have started building rail transport facilities, with a planned construction length of over 9,000 km. About 5,770 km is under construction.

另有53個城市已開工建設軌道交通設施，規劃建設規模超過9000公里，在建規模約5770公里。

"Urban rail transit on the Chinese mainland has seen rapid development for more than 10 consecutive years," said Zhou Xiaoqin, executive vice president of the association.

該協會常務副會長周曉勤說道：“中國內地的城市軌道交通已連續快速發展10年以上。”

He said this year the length of urban rail transit in Beijing and Shanghai both surpassed 500 km.

他表示，今年北京、上海的城市軌道交通規模雙雙突破500公里。

Together with Guangzhou, their urban rail transit systems carry more than 50% of the total passenger volume of public transportation.

北京、上海和廣州的城市軌道交通系統承擔的客運量佔公共交通總客運量的比例均超過了50%。

Urban rail transit will continue to be a priority of the country's urban infrastructure construction over the next few years.

未來幾年，城市軌道交通仍將是我國城市基礎設施建設的重點之一。

It is estimated that the total length of Chinese urban rail transit in operation will reach 6,000 km in 2020, Zhou said.
