On August 25th, 20 16, it was officially approved by the State Council, which marked that Luoyang became the first non-provincial capital city in central and western China and the second city in Henan province.

First, enhance the image of the city. The subway, which is young, light and fast, seems to be the symbol and temperament that this city should have. ? Judging from people's intuitive feelings, cities with subways and cities without subways are definitely not of the same grade. Is there a city with a subway? Tall? . Many times, in the eyes of urban residents, the subway is the taste and temperament of a city. As a national historical and cultural city, Luoyang has highlighted its own history and culture in terms of venue design and carriage style. While improving the overall character of the city, it also vigorously promotes the city's characteristic culture.

Under the background of the continuous development of urban scale, the traditional ground transportation can no longer meet the needs of passenger transport because of its small volume and slow speed, and the subway will become more and more important. This is why the state stipulates that whether a city can build a subway should be evaluated from the aspects of city size, population and economy. The advantages of the subway are:

1. It can avoid ground congestion and make full use of space, which is more in line with the concept of green travel.

2. The traffic volume of subway is 7- 10 times that of ground bus.
