The Beijing Subway is a rapid transit rail network that serves the urban and suburban districts of Beijing municipality. The subway is the world's busiest in annual ridership, with 3.78 billion trips delivered in 2017, averaging 10.35 million per day, with peak single-day ridership reaching 13.49 million. The subway network has 22 lines, 370 stations and 608.2 km of route length in operation, and is the second longest subway system in the world after the Shanghai Metro. The Beijing Subway opened in 1969 and is the oldest metro system in mainland China. Before the system underwent rapid expansion since 2002, it consisted of only two lines. The existing network still cannot adequately meet the city's mass transit needs. Beijing Subway's extensive expansion plans call for 998.5 km of lines serving a projected 18.5 million trips every day by 2021. The most recent expansion, which included a one stop extension of Fangshan Line and the opening of Xijiao Line, S1 Line and Yanfang Line came into effect on December 30, 2017. There are currently over 300 km of subway under construction in Beijing, including six new fully automated lines totaling up to 300 km in length using domestically developed communications-based train control systems. This could potentially create the longest fully automated subway network in the world.The Beijing Subway is owned by the city of Beijing and has five operators. The main operator is the wholly state-owned Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corp., which operates 15 lines: Lines 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, Batong line, Changping line, Fangshan line, Yizhuang line and S1 line. The second operator is the Beijing MTR Corp., a public–private joint venture with the Hong Kong MTR and Beijing Capital Group, a state owned enterprise under the Beijing Municipality, which operates four lines: Line 4, Daxing line, Line 14 and Line 16. There are three other operators: Beijing MTR Operation Administration which operates the Yanfang line, Beijing Public Transit Tramway which operates the Xijiao line, and Beijing Capital Metro which operates the Airport Express.
