By 2020 it is hoped that the subway line will become double this, with expectations of an increase to 1,000 kilometres, with both a number of new lines and extensions being added.<\/p>\n<p>The news follows a recent change in fares, which has seen the city\u2019s first price increase on the subway in seven years, making it a hot topic in the media. The previous flat fare has now been replaced by a distance-based system, which came into force on December 28th.<\/p>\n<p>The subway is said to be used by more than 10 million passengers each business day and can be used by those visiting the capital of Beijing on China holidays. Statistics from 2013 show that an average daily commute of more than half of Beijing\u2019s workers covers a distance of between four and 17 km.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/brochures\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=beijing%20subway\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-564 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/brochure_btn.png\" alt=\"brochure_btn\" width=\"228\" height=\"104\" \/><\/a> Take a look at all of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/china\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=beijing%20subway\">escorted China holidays<\/a>\u00a0with the UK&#8217;s leading China Experts, Wendy Wu Tours.
