Line 10 (simplified Chinese: 十号线; traditional Chinese: 十號線; pinyin: Shíhào Xiàn), also known as the Bantian line (坂田线; 坂田線; Bǎntián Xiàn) of the Shenzhen Metro began construction at the end of 2015; the line is expected to open in 2020. Line 10 has a length of 29.9 km (18.6 mi) and a total of 23 stations. It connects the Futian Checkpoint to Pinghu Center. In the southern terminus of the line, a 555 meters long and 50.5 meters wide double deck underground depot capable of storing 16 trains will be constructed.

History

Line 10 was originally a low priority line to be constructed in the long term future called Line 16. In 2011, the Shenzhen Municipal Government approved the Longgang District Government to start the preliminary work on Line 10. On 2013, the Shenzhen Municipal Government renumbered Line 16 into Line 10 and included it in the Phase III expansion. The original Shenzhen Metro Line 10 was renumbered to Line 12 planned to be built in Phase IV. This was done to fast track the construction of the line to ease the pressure on Line 4 and accommodate further growth of the Longgang area. In August 2016, planners are proposing the line be redesigned to handle 8 car trains instead of the original specification of 6 cars to increase the line's ability to handle the growing transport demand in Shenzhen.
