Line 3
Line 3 is the first light rail transit line in Mainland China. In September 1999, the State Council of the People's Republic of China formally approved the proposal for the first phase of the Changchun Light Rail Ring Line project.
On October 30, 2002, the first phase of the Changchun Light Rail Transit (from Changchun Railway Station to Weiguang Street) officially opened for service. It serves 17 stations and spans a total length of approximately 14.6 kilometers (about 9.07 miles).
The second phase of the Changchun Light Rail Transit was later opened, extending Line 3 by an additional 9.3 kilometers. The total length of Line 3 then reached 24 kilometers (about 14.91 miles), stretching from the Jingyue Development District to the Kuancheng District.
In 2018, the renovation project of Changchun Railway Station began, which caused the Changchun Railway Station stop on Line 3 to be temporarily suspended.
In April 2021, Lines 3 and 4 of the Changchun Rail Transit were connected for in-station transfers. Two transfer stations are now available: Puppet Regime Palace Museum Station and Vocational Institute of Technology Station.
Line 1
Construction of the first heavy-rail metro line, Line 1, started in 2011, and opened for service on 30 June 2017. Line 1 serves 15 stations and is Script error: No such module "convert". long.[2]
Line 2
Construction on the second heavy-rail metro line, Line 2, started in 2012, and opened for service on 30 August 2018. Line 2 serves 21 stations and is Script error: No such module "convert". long.[3]
Line 8
A new light rail line link the North Lake area, numbered Line 8, opened for service on June 30, 2018, 16 years after Line 3 opened. Line 8 is the first light rail line using the same fare with the metro system, and the first line to directly interchange with the metro system. Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Fare System
Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On May 30, 2019, the fare systems of the original light rail system (Line 3 and Line 4) and the new metro system (Line 1, Line 2 and Line 8) were combined, and passengers can directly transfer between the original light rail system and the new metro system.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Line 2

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Line 2 is the second metro line in Changchun, running on the east-west central axis of Changchun.
Line 2's color is blue.
Line 3
.jpg){kind=link}
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Line 3 marked the inaugural rail line to commence operations in Changchun. It forms an S-shaped route encircling the city center, constituting the western segment of the light rail loop and extending as an outer-loop branch to the Jingyue area. This line operates with low-floor light rail vehicles rather than the conventional rapid transit rolling stock.
In contrast to subsequent lines, Line 3 predominantly operates at ground level in its western section, running parallel to the Jingha railway, and primarily travels on elevated tracks in the eastern portion. Notably, the line is not entirely grade-separated, as it retains four level crossings even after undergoing several renovations.
Line 3's color is green.
Line 4
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Line 4 is another light rail line. Unlike line 3, it has complete grade separation, but still uses the same low-floor light rail vehicles as line 3, similar to the Seville Metro in Spain. It runs in a north-south direction, close to the Yitong river, making up the east half of light rail loop. The line runs mostly on elevated viaducts with an underground section in the north.
Line 4's color is purple.
Line 6
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Line 6 is a new metro line that commenced operations in 2024, traversing the South New Area of Changchun. This line connects Changchun West Railway Station with the Jingyue district, following a route along the southern corridor of Line 3 to alleviate passenger congestion on that line.
Line 6's color is pink.
Line 8
.jpg){kind=link}
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Line 8 is a light rail line, operating in the northern region to connect the North Lake area with the heart of Changchun, which includes a link to Line 1. Similar to Line 4, Line 8 is entirely grade-separated and utilizes low-floor light rail vehicles. However, it differs in that it operates entirely on elevated tracks as opposed to running partially underground.
Line 8's color is teal.
