Empowering people's livelihood for travel

As a key livelihood project in the local area, the westward extension project of this line can connect with the Chilean national railway trunk line and open up a linkage channel between the subway and the national railway. After the project is put into operation, it will improve the urban transportation network of San Diego, connect multiple areas of the city, avoid congestion in the city center, effectively alleviate the traffic pressure of Metro Line 1, shorten the commuting time of citizens, significantly improve the quality of local public transportation, and help promote the coordinated development of the city.Editor/Min Jing
