At the China Pavilion of the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan, a miniature model of a "Future Rail City" has become the focal point of attention.

Guangzhou Metro Group, the sole urban rail transit enterprise from Guangdong to participate, vividly demonstrated how smart technologies are reshaping urban life to a global audience.

At the heart of Guangzhou Metro's exhibit was the "SWIFTON OS", China's first self-developed intelligent rail transit operating system. Already deployed on Guangzhou Metro's Line 18 and Line 22, the system enables frictionless fare gates, intelligent passenger flow management, one-click station opening and closing, AI-based video inspections, and smart restroom guidance. On the operations side, with the rollout of IoT-based smart O&M systems, maintenance staffing requirements have been reduced by 16%, and manual station patrols have been shortened from 1 hour to just 10 minutes.

During the Expo, Guangzhou Metro welcomed an average of 12,000 visitors per day, becoming one of the most prominent brand presences in the China Pavilion's multi-functional hall.
