The company will cut the usual 2.5-minute interval between trains during rush hour by 30 seconds from next Tuesday for Line 2, which runs in a loop round the city center, Beijing Subway Operation Co. Ltd. spokesman said. The interval is one of the shortest in the world, he said.

The subway operations have added new trains and tracks along both lines. It has also installed the world's most advanced signal system, making it possible to shorten the interval time.
