China has become the world''s largest urban rail transit market nowadays. Its rail transit industry is gradually growing and maturing.

Urban rail transit is a kind of safe, convenient, punctual and high flow transportation, which is an effective solution to urban traffic jams. Meanwhile, urban rail transit is the public infrastructure with huge investment, high cost of construction and complex operation.

China''s urban rail transit is still at the primary development stage. No integrated industry chain or reasonable industrial structure has been formed; moreover, rail equipment is still restricted by international manufactories. From the view of funds source, affected by large demand for funds at pre-construction stage and long investment payoff period, the funds for Chinas urban rail construction mainly come from the investment of government and the loans of China Development Bank. This financing structure results in the slow investment into China's rail transit construction, most rail transit enterprises are in loss.

Although the above mentioned problems still exist in urban rail transit, central and local governments still provide supports for its development in policies and funds, in view of the outstanding functions of urban rail transit. On September 1, 2005, the Suggestions on Preferential Development of Urban Public Transport was released by six national ministries including Ministry of Construction. The document says that preferential supports should be firstly provided to cities with big populations, which are in relatively good economic conditions and often encounter with serious traffic jam. It is forecasted that by 2010, about 125 cities in China will have a population of over 1 million. Among them, about 50 cities in China will have a population of over 2 million.

With the support of policies, the enthusiasm for constructing urban rail transit is booming. Up to the end of 2005, subway and light rails have been built in tens of cities in China like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dalian, Changchun, Wuhan, Chongqing and Nanjing. Among more than 40 cities with the population of over 1 million, over 30 cities began to prepare for urban high-speed rail construction. And about 14 cities have already submitted urban rail transit network programming, aiming at building 55 lines with the total length of about 1500 kilometers. The total investment on these lines hits RMB 500 billion.

As China is speeding up the urbanization and central cities spread to neighboring regions, the pressure to urban rail transit construction is also increasing. To ease such dilemma of rail transit construction funds, Chinese government has already called for foreign-funded and private enterprises to join rail transit construction. Currently, foreign capital plays an active role in rail equipment and technology supply, while private capital hasn''t involved due to unaffordable investment. However, along with the continuous expansion of Chinas city scale, it becomes an inevitable trend for foreign and private capitals to enter the filed of urban rail transit construction.

The report data sourced from Chinese authoritative organizations like National Bureau of Statistics, National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Communications. On the basis of reviewing China''s urban rail transit industry development, this report comprehensively and systematically analyzes development environment, investment, construction, and operation status of urban rail transit. It also forecasts the future development space of Chinas urban rail transit industry through qualitative and quantitative analysis, providing references for enterprises and other entities to draft relevant investment and development strategies.
