Abstract:	The urban rail transit (URT) system in China has undergone development spanning over 50 years. In the period from 2008 to 2015, numerous URT lines were under construction. After 2015, an increasing number of cities have transitioned to multi-line network operations, with greater emphasis on system efficiency and passenger service. This transition has been accompanied by numerous successful innovations and applications aimed at enhancing system intelligence and automation. This paper provides a review of operational statistics based on annual reports, successful operational practices, and industry development characteristics over the past decade in mainland China. Additionally, suggestions and trends for the further development of URT in China are proposed.
