I was in YingGe visiting the in-laws and I spotted this poster in a new building developer's office. It shows the path of the MRT through YingGe. You see, what's likely going on here is that the developers are likely asking an MRT price for their buildings. Property around MRT stations usually goes up quite a bit when the proposed lines are announced.
What's amazing when researching this entry is the DORTS maps are pretty terrible so it's difficult to know just where the MRT is really going and where the stations will be.
The planned system map so far on a great but HUGE map (2,973 × 2,064 !!!)

A lot of the stations have numbers and/or no names...
Here's a previous entry about the system:

Anyone know where the new MRT stations will be exactly?

For the second stage lines (Xinyi, Neihu, Nanjing, Luzhou, Xinzhuang) which are all currently under construction it isn't hard to figure out as you can see where they are building. For the others I have also been unable to find a good map. However, I would question whether some of the third stage lines will ever be built. I wouldn't rush to buy property in Yingge on the basis of an MRT line that might start running 15 years from now.
