Enhancing Passenger Flow with Professional Wayfinding Solutions | Case Study

Project Name: Shenzhen Metro Line 16 Phase II

Time: 2025

Shenzhen Metro Line 16 (Phase II) connects the Universiade district with the Yuanshan area through eight stations along a 9.54 km route.

As the signage manufacturer, COSUN SIGN provided the complete public transport signage system for station entrances, concourses, platforms, transfer areas, and exits. The scope included transportation signage, subway signage, passenger information signs, platform signs, exit signs, and illuminated lightboxes.

The project establishes a unified navigation system across eight stations while allowing each station to maintain its own architectural identity.
