Line 16 is a planned rapid‑transit line of the Shenzhen Metro system in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The line is being developed by Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd. as part of the city’s long‑term expansion plan (often referred to as Phase IV of the metro network).
As of the latest publicly available planning documents, Line 16 is intended to serve areas of the city that are currently underserved by existing metro lines, improving connectivity between central districts and peripheral suburbs. The precise alignment, total length, number of stations, and projected opening date have not been finalized in publicly released sources, and the line remains in the planning or early construction stage.
The line is expected to operate using standard gauge, electrified tracks consistent with the rest of the Shenzhen Metro network, and will be integrated into the existing fare and ticketing system upon completion.
Status: Planned/under development (not yet operational).
Operator: Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd.
Notes: Detailed technical specifications, station list, and timetable are pending further official announcements.
