The subway Hohhot or Metro Hohhot ( Chinese呼和浩特 地铁Pinyin Hūhéhàotè dìtiě ) is the subway network of the city of Hohhot in the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia . It went into operation at the end of 2019 with the first line opening. An expansion to five lines with a total length of 155 kilometers was approved in 2015 with the aim that public transport would have a share of 50% of total traffic in Hohhot in 2020, and the subway a share of 15%. In 2018, however, the expansion plans were discarded.
