Abstract—As the core city of the Shenzhen Metropolitan Area, Shenzhen takes the lead in promoting the planning and construction of the metropolitan area. The development experience of world-class metropolitan areas has demonstrated that rail transit plays a fundamental supporting role. Currently, the full-process work of planning, construction, and operation of rail transit in the Shenzhen Metropolitan Area is being vigorously advanced. The sustainable operation responsibility mechanism for inter-jurisdictional rail transit project in the Shenzhen Metropolitan Area is crucial to ensuring the long-term operation after completion. It is necessary to clarify the scope of sustainable operation responsibilities, accounting principles, sharing methods, and funding/resource pathways. The mechanism aims to foster a sound situation for the sustainable development of rail transit in the Shenzhen Metropolitan Area and support the coordinated development of the region.
Keywords—Shenzhen metropolitan area, rail transit, inter-jurisdictional project, sustainable operation responsibility mechanism
