Line 11 of the Guangzhou Metro (Chinese: 广州地铁11号线; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Dìtiě Shíyīhàoxiàn) is a rapid transit rail line under construction in Guangzhou. It is planned to run in a circle around Guangzhou passing through Guangzhou Railway Station, Guangzhou East Railway Station, Pazhou, and Fangcun. The line forms a ring around the edge of the dense central areas of Guangzhou allowing orbital and tangential traffic to avoid transferring in congested city center stations. As such 19 of the line's 32 stations plan to have transfers with other metro lines. In addition numerous regional rail lines of the Pearl River Delta Rapid Transit system are expected to terminate at stations on the ring line. The line is expected to have a daily ridership of over 1.2 million passengers per day. To cope with the large expected demand, engineers designed the line to be the second in the Guangzhou Metro to use to use high capacity 8 car wide body A size rolling stock.
