History
The Line 5 station opened on 28 December 2009. The station was initially built with provisions for the future construction and integration of Line 13; however this was while Line 13 was still projected to use the smaller Type L light metro cars as Line 5 used. Due to overcrowding on routes using the smaller Type L cars, Line 13 was instead upgraded to use high capacity 8-car Type A cars. During phase I construction, Line 13 platforms were extended south to accommodate the longer trains with the platform heights adjusted accordingly. Line 13 began servicing the station with the rest of Phase I on 28 December 2017.
Future
The planned high-speed metro Line 28 is projected to serve Yuzhu station, however the line is still in planning and no construction timeline has been announced yet.
