Line 11 of Foshan Metro (FMetro) (Chinese: 佛山地铁11号线; pinyin: Fóshān Dìtiě Shíyīhàoxiàn) is a line under planning in Foshan. The line will run in a north–south direction, connecting Hedong East in Liwan District in Guangzhou with Xijiao in Shunde District, with 21 stations and 39.6 km (24.6 mi) kilometers of track.
The line is expected to operate 6 car type B trains with a maximum speed of 100 km/h, and will be fully automated and driverless.
History
Line 11 was first planned around 2015 and is positioned to quickly connect downtown Guangzhou with Shunde. Subsequently, the line was selected for the second phase of the Foshan Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan (2021-2026), and a series of preliminary tenders were launched in Foshan and Shunde District. Since then, the line has gradually stabilized, and several interchange stations under construction along the route have reserved part of the structure of the line, and implementation was launched at the end of October 2020.
On January 26, 2021, the construction plan for the second phase of the Foshan Metro was approved, but it only included the Hedong East-Rongqi Ferry section, and could not continue to Ronggui. The construction of the approved section has also been delayed due to the controversy over the direction of the Guangzhou section. In 2023, Shunde District proposed that the Desheng West Road Station, Rongqi Ferry Station, and the section tunnel between the two stations be constructed by the Jinsha Avenue South Extension Line (public rail joint construction) project.
In 2024, Ronggui Subdistrict proposed that the previously unapproved southern extension be included in the construction scope of Line 11, which was supported by Shunde District. On August 16, the first EIA announcement and public consultation were launched. Compared with the previously approved construction plan, the Guangzhou section has added Guanggang Park station, and the Foshan section has added the previously planned Rongqi Ferry to Xijiao section, but reduced one station within that section.
Future Development
In 2022, the report of the Zhongshan Municipal Government mentioned that it plans to continue the south extension of Foshan Metro Line 11 to Zhongshan.
According to the feasibility study report on the western line of Nanzhuzhong Intercity (Southwest extension of Guangzhou Metro Line 18) approved at the end of February 2023, Shiqi Station and Zhongshan Station will feature transfers to the Zhongshan section of Foshan Line 11.
