The Tram line in the system, the [TEDA Modern Guided Rail Tram](https://bliptext.com/articles/teda-modern-guided-rail-tram), was built to serve the Tianjin Economic Development Area and was opened on 10 May 2007.\n[Line 2](https://bliptext.com/articles/line-2-tianjin-metro), after a lengthy construction delay and a structural accident, finally opened, as two separate sections, to the public on 1 July 2012, with the sections being reconnected on 28 August 2013.\nLine 3, another main north–south line, opened in October 2012.\nHistorically, the lines were jointly operated by two companies: the Tianjin Metro Group Co. operated lines 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10, while the Binhai Mass Transit Development Co. operated lines 5 and 9.\nIn 2017, the two companies were merged into the Tianjin Rail Transit Group Co.

the transport authority decided to close the old tram network and switch over to a [rapid transit](https://bliptext.com/articles/rapid-transit) system.\nHowever, due to cost, it was not until 1970 that construction of the system first took place.\nThe first section, spanning 3.6 km of track and 4 stations (Xinhualu, Yingkoudao, Anshandao and Haiguangsi), was completed by February 1976.\nFurther construction was delayed due to [an earthquake](https://bliptext.com/articles/1976-tangshan-earthquake) in 1976.\nThe second section, with an additional 1.6 km of track and the Xinanjiao and Erweilu stations, was completed by 1980.\nAfter construction resumed, the total length was 7.4 km, with 8 stations, and service on the line began on 28 December 1984.\nTo reduce construction costs, the transport authority decided to use an abandoned canal bed to form part of the system, and did not dig deeply.\nBy using the canal bed, the underground section is only 2-3 m under the street surface, and was the world's shallowest metro.\nThere were only 1,000 full-time construction workers at that time; the others were volunteers from factories, schools and institutions all over the city.\nThe average number of volunteer workers exceeded 2,000 a day, which rendered the project unique in the world then.\nConstruction was delayed in 1976 when an [earthquake](https://bliptext.com/articles/1976-tangshan-earthquake) hit the city, but was resumed in 1979 and completed by 1984.\nAt the end of the 1990s, it was observed that the Metro system was quite out of date.\nThe atmosphere of the stations was uninviting, difficult to navigate, and with few passenger amenities on the platforms.\nTrains were infrequent, sporadic, and commonly delayed.\nThe trains themselves were dilapidated, seat covers often torn off, and dim.\nTaking into consideration more modern, cleaner systems in East Asia, a massive reconstruction, modernization and expansion plan was laid out in 2000.\nIn preparation, the system was closed on 1 September 2001, with renovation starting on 21 November of the same year.\nAfter purchasing new rolling stock, adding half-height [platform screen doors](https://bliptext.com/articles/platform-screen-doors) and extending the line up to Shuanglin, the line re-opened on 6 December 2006 as [Line
