The total length of Sanying Line is 14.29 km with 12 elevated stations and one depot. With fully elevated station design, the line route starts from MRT Blue Line Dingpu station in Tucheng, passing through Sanxia to Yingge.

The CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) traffic management system has been developed to increase performance and efficiency of the underground railway systems of major cities. Unlike other radio-based traffic management systems for railway applications, (ERTMS Level 2 and 3), CBTC technology is not a standard and every provider has developed its own technology.
