China is the world's largest urban rail transit market. It is estimated that in 2025, the urban rail operation mileage will reach 14,000 kilometers, and the long-term operation mileage will reach 19,000 kilometers. In terms of railways, the operating mileage of national railways has exceeded 120,000 miles. The mileage of high-speed railways has reached 25,000 miles. In recent years, China's rail transit is moving towards a large-scale networked structure, diversified systems and intelligent equipment. The larger market attracts more stakeholders to participate in the business. New technologies such as big data, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have been applied to rail transit systems to build smart and safe transportation for passengers.

The regular online press conference held by the National Development and Reform Commission on April 20 this year clarified the scope of “new infrastructure” for the first time, that is, speeding up the construction of major projects and infrastructure planned by the state, and speeding up the construction of 5G networks, data centers, and rail transit. The policy on the progress of infrastructure construction has received a lot of attention. Intercity high-speed railways and urban rail transit are the most basic infrastructure of the new infrastructure. From "four verticals and four horizontals" to "eight verticals and eight horizontals", they have greatly satisfied the growing domestic passenger transport demand and boosted local economic development. The overall social and economic development has accelerated. Nowadays, from “four verticals and four horizontals” to “eight verticals and eight horizontals” and then to “new infrastructure”, relying on high-tech
technology, it is accelerating the digitization of domestic intercity high-speed railway and urban rail transit network information.
