On 2 July 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on the issuance of the "Multi-level Rail Transit Plan in the Yangtze River Delta Region".^[3] The plan proposed that by 2025, the Yangtze River Delta on the track will be basically completed. The operating mileage of arterial railways is about 17,000 kilometers, of which high-speed railways are about 8,000 kilometers, forming a three-hour inter-regional traffic circle between the Yangtze River Delta and neighboring urban agglomerations and provincial capitals. The operating mileage of intercity railways is about 1,500 kilometers, and the intercity traffic circle between neighboring big cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Ningbo and surrounding cities forms a 1-1.5 hour intercity traffic circle. The operating mileage of urban (suburban) railways is about 1,000 kilometers. The Shanghai metropolitan area and the Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Ningbo metropolitan areas form a 0.5-1 hour commuting traffic circle.
