On November 11, according to Shang Zhijian, the deputy general manager of the Xi’an Metro Operations Division, the Xi’an Metro Line 8 is currently undergoing a three-month trial run without passengers. After completing the eight government inspections and a three-month trial run, a safety assessment will be conducted. Following these evaluations, Xi’an Metro Line 8 will officially open to the public.

Xi'an Metro Line 8 is the key line in the Xi'an city rail transit network and the first circular line. It has a total length of 49.9 kilometers and consists of 37 stations, including 18 transfer stations, all of which are underground.

Line 8 is designed with a maximum speed of 80 km/h, incorporating GOA4 standard intelligent metro fully automatic driverless technology.

Line 8 will be the first to integrate advanced technologies such as fully automatic operation, cloud platforms, intelligent maintenance, smart stations, and a broadband cluster, providing passengers with a smarter, more convenient, and more comfortable travel experience.

After its completion, Line 8 will enable transfers with the seven existing lines and serve five administrative districts: Yanta District, Lianhu District, Weiyang District, Xincheng District, and Baqiao District. It will also connect four national-level development zones: Qujiang New Area, Gaoxin High-tech Zone, Jingkai Economic Development Zone, and Xi'an Chanba International Port. At the same time, it will create a fast and convenient passenger transfer corridor between the second and third ring roads.
