Line 5 of the Guangzhou Metro runs from Liwan District to Huangpu District. It starts at Template:GZM stations running 31.9 km (19.8 mi) in a wide "∩" shape and ends at Template:GZM stations. Like line 4 and 6 it's equipped with linear induction motor technology. Line 5's color is red. Huangpu Line began operation on 28 December 2009, from Template:GZM stations to Template:GZM stations. As of May 2017, Line 5 carries an average of 1.05 million passengers per day and is extremely congested throughout the day, operating at over 100% capacity during rush hours. The opening of Phase I of Line 13 further increased traffic demand on the west end of Line 5 and pushing congestion to over 130% capacity. Prompting the Guangzhou Metro to limit passenger traffic at a number of subway stations on Line 5. In the future Line 13 Phase II will provide relief for Line 5.
