Early works began late in 2013, with major construction starting mid-2014. They were testing the system by early 2017, but it didn't open for passengers until June 2019 (delays in getting the rolling stock; it was supposed to be running later in 2017).
A substantial portion of it was built on existing rail corridors though, so the comparison is a bit tricky.
