Line S9 is a north–south suburban metro line in the Nanjing Metro (Chinese: 南京地铁S9号线; pinyin: Nánjīng Dìtiě S-Jiǔ Hào Xiàn) system, which opened on December 30, 2017.[4] It connects to Line S1 at Xiangyulunan and crosses Shijiu Lake on a 12 km (7.5 mi) long bridge between Mingjue and Tuanjiewei.[5]

Line S9 also serves as the second stage of the Nanjing–Gaochun Intercity Railway, with Line S1 serving as the first stage. In June 2019 a few express trains started operating during rush hour, running non-stop between Xiangyulunan and Gaochun.[6]

Rolling Stock

Line S9 uses car B-type aluminum alloy trains with a maximum service speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).[7] The train cars are 2.8 meters (9 ft 2 in) wide with a transverse 2+2 seating layout, with 151 seats and a capacity of 441 people.[8] Unlike most type B metro trains, each car only has 3 doors per side instead of 4, owing to the line's length and speed.
