A subway system employing single-person carriages is a transport system for underground track traffic. The main structure lies in that the sizes of prior carriages are reduced; guide tracks are erected; each carriage is subjected to track change or gets in and out of stations under the action of guide wheels and does not need to stop at all the stations along a tunnel, thus kinetic energy required for stopping and starting is saved and running time is shortened; passengers do not need to transfer when entering a track in one direction from another direction; the tunnel is close to the earth surface and the carriages can travel onto the ground, so that the distance for the passengers to get in and out of the stations is decreased and the travel time of the passengers is shortened.
