Exactly. Wuhan had only 1 line from 2003 to 2012,only 100,000 passengers per day. But now we have 3 lines(95km, 1.3 million passengers per day, Line2 in 2012, Line4 in 2013), and this year Line3 and one intercity HSR, Line 6 in 2016 and Line 7&8 in 2017.
It's a process. Beijing had only 2 lines for several decades.
Now a lot of 2nd tier or 3rd tier cites have just opened their first or second line. Long way to go! But I am very confident, we have too many people and very high demand.

@AndrewJin,
Wishing your dear hometown, Wuhan all the best.
In fact, I don't really need to because China has a massive record of putting in infrastructure, be it HSR, subways, bridges, tunnels, etc.
I am confident it will happen for Wuhan ...
This map was dated in 2011. Has Guangzhou become a supercity of 42 million?
If it has, it is going to have the biggest metro.
Well I got it from a news article

@Ammyy,
This is impressive. From what I gather, the Delhi subway began in 2002. It is a massive achievement considering it is only 13 years old, today.
