History
Foshan Metro Operation Co., Ltd. is the operating entity of the Foshan Metro system. The Foshan Metro was developed to provide urban rail transit for Foshan, a major city in Guangdong Province and part of the Pearl River Delta. The first line, Guangfo Metro (Guangzhou–Foshan Line), opened in 2010, connecting Foshan with Guangzhou and marking the start of metro operations in the city. Since then, the network has expanded with additional lines, and the operating company has taken on the responsibility of running these services. The company operates under the broader Foshan Metro construction and management framework, which oversees planning, construction, and operation. Its operations are integrated with the Guangzhou Metro network, facilitating cross-city travel. The company maintains a website at fmeter.net to provide passenger information and service updates. As the network continues to grow, the operator remains central to public transportation in Foshan.
