When there are so many subway lines and transfer stations, it’s not always obvious which route to take. So tell the app your start and end point and let Beijing Subway do the planning for you. Immediately get the quickest and the easiest routes as well as the total journey time and number of changes.
Bilingual Map
Inspired by the famous London Tube Map, we’ve designed a bilingual map that’s clear and easy to read. And to keep up with a subway system that’s always changing, the map also includes faded lines, so you can see routes that will be available in the future.
