Abstract
Urban rail transit operations have changed from a single line to a multiline network. The network operations have undergone quantitative and qualitative changes, and operations management is facing rapid internal and external changes. Using the Guangzhou Metro network operation practices as a case study, this paper first systematically analyzes the features of the operation scale, the proportion of urban mass transit, the surge in public demand, the security of the operational service capacity, reforms to the operation governance structure, the high-speed expansion of staff, and the development of knowledge and skills in urban mass transit networks. The paper then proposes several responses to the challenges that such networks face; for example, this paper proposes creating an innovative network operations management system, strengthening the management foundation, creating plans to promote operation capacity, enhancing security risk management and equipment quality management, developing a crisis public relations response, and applying information technology. In addition, this paper systematically describes countermeasures for multiline network operations, such as developing a management mechanism for network operations, actively cultivating staff skills, creating innovative transport organization models to enhance operational capacity, establishing a production service assessment system to continuously improve the level of transportation service, establishing a quantifiable safety assessment system and equipment quality index model, strengthening quality controls for security and equipment, extensively using information technology to ensure the health of the urban mass transit network operation, and implementing sustainable development measures.

Summary
There are a variety of definitions and interpretations of urban transit network operations based on the number of open lines, the total route mileage, or the passenger volume. These different standards reflect certain operational characteristics, but more comprehensive measures are necessary to meet specific requirements in different cities. Regional coverage With the increasing urban rail construction, line mileage has increased rapidly to form a basic network-level urban rail system that provides preliminary connectivity and mobility in major areas of some cities in China. 2. Station location Optimized transit station location could provide high accessibility with a wide coverage area for travelers, especially in the core areas of cities. This unexpected forecasting underestimation presents great challenges for the stability and reliability of urban rail transit operations and management [9, 10]
