The system incorporates both subway (地铁) and light rail (轻轨) lines. It opened in 1995, making Shanghai the third city in [[Mainland China]], after [[Beijing Subway|Beijing]] and [[Tianjin Metro|Tianjin]], to have a rapid transit system. Since then, the Shanghai Metro has become one of the fastest-growing rapid transit systems in the world. As of 2011, there are eleven metro lines (excluding the [[Shanghai Maglev Train]]), 273 [[List of Shanghai Metro stations|stations]]<ref name="Stncount" group="note"/> and over 434 km of tracks in operation,<ref name="Shanghai-Daily" /> the [[List of metro systems|longest network in the world]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/world/asia/30shanghai.html|title=Expo Offers Shanghai a New Turn in the Spotlight|author=David Barboza|date=29 April 2010|accessdate=29 April 2010|work=The New York Times}}</ref> In 2010, the Shanghai Metro delivered 2 billion rides, averaging 5.2 million per day,<ref name="ridership"></ref> the [[Metro systems by annual passenger rides|fourth busiest in the world]].

In a physical interchange station, passengers can transfer between subway lines without exiting a fare zone. In a virtual interchange station, however, passengers have to exit and re-enter fare zones as they transfer from one subway line to another. In order to receive a discounted fare, passengers must use a [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] (SPTC) instead of Single-Ride tickets. ====Physical interchange stations==== Below is a list of physical interchange stations.

Metro)|Zhongtan Road]], [[Zhenping Road (Shanghai Metro)|Zhenping Road]], [[Caoyang Road (Shanghai Metro)|Caoyang Road]], [[Jinshajiang Road (Shanghai Metro)|Jinshajiang Road]], [[Zhongshan Park (Shanghai Metro)|Zhongshan Park]], [[West Yan'an Road (Shanghai Metro)|West Yan'an Road]] and [[Hongqiao Road (Shanghai Metro)|Hongqiao Road]] are interchanges between Lines '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|3]]''' and '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|4]]'''. This is where the two lines overlap together on one route between [[Baoshan Road (Shanghai Metro)|Baoshan Road]] and [[Hongqiao Road (Shanghai Metro)|Hongqiao Road]]. * Lines 4 and 6 stop at two different stations both known as [[Pudian Road (Shanghai Metro)|Pudian Road]], but these two stations are not located together and interchanging is not possible. *[[Longyang Road (Shanghai Metro)|Longyang Road]] and [[Pudong International Airport (Shanghai Metro)|Pudong International Airport]] stations also provide transfers to the [[Shanghai Maglev Train]], though passengers have to make another payment if they board the Maglev train. ==== Virtual interchange stations ==== A virtual interchange station is a station where two lines meet, but unlike a physical interchange, there is no direct linkway between them. Passengers thus have to leave the station (that serves one line) and re-enter it (that serves another line) if they wanted to transfer to another line. On June 1, 2008, Shanghai Metro began utilizing a new interchange ticketing system for virtual interchanges. Passengers using a [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] will receive discounted transfer fares at three ''virtual interchange stations''. Before, passengers had to purchase new tickets in order to use another metro line if no physical interchange was available. In contrast, passengers usually use one single-ride ticket to interchange between different metro lines where physical interchange stations are available and receive fares based on accumulated distance. Under this new scheme, passengers using a [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] will pay the same fare to transfer at a virtual interchange station as they would at a physical interchange based on accumulated distance. However, a passenger must exit a station and re-enter another within 30 minutes by using the same [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]], otherwise no special transfer fares will be applied. This system is currently temporary, and after the interchange connections within these stations are completed, the stations will become physical interchange stations.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} * [[Shanghai Railway Station (Shanghai Metro)|Shanghai Railway Station]] is a virtual interchange station between '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|Line 1]]''' and '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|Line 3]]''' or '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|Line 4]]''', but passengers do not need to re-enter if they transfer between [[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|Line 3]] and [[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|Line 4]]. * [[Hongkou Football Stadium (Shanghai Metro)|Hongkou Stadium]] is a virtual interchange station between '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|Line 3]]''' and '''[[Line 8, Shanghai Metro|Line 8]]'''. * [[South Shaanxi Road (Shanghai Metro)|South Shaanxi Road]] is currently a virtual interchange station between '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|Line 1]]''' and '''[[Line 10, Shanghai Metro|Line 10]]''' due to complications with constructions on [[Line 12, Shanghai Metro|Line 12]].<ref>[http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201004/con103539.htm 10号线4月10日提前开通试运营] Shanghai Metro official website. Retrieved 9 April 2010.</ref> ===Stations of note=== The busiest station in Shanghai Metro system is [[People's Square (Shanghai Metro)|People's Square]] station (Lines '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|1]]''', '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|2]]''' and '''[[Line 8, Shanghai Metro|8]]'''). As the interchange station for three lines, it is extremely crowded during peak hours. It remains busy during the rest of the day as it is located near major shopping and tourist destinations such as [[Nanjing Road (Shanghai)|Nanjing Road]] (E.) Pedestrian Street as well as the [[Shanghai Museum]], People's Park, the [[Shanghai Grand Theatre]] and Yan'an Park on [[People's Square]]. It has the second most number of exits (totalling 17) in the stations of the metro system. [[Xujiahui (Shanghai Metro)|Xujiahui station]] (Lines '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|1]]''' and '''[[Line 9, Shanghai Metro|9]]''') is located in the major [[Xujiahui]] commercial center of Shanghai. Six large [[shopping mall]]s and eight large office towers are each within a three-minute walk of one of the station's exits, numbering a total of 18 since the addition of the four in the Line 9 part of the station that opened in December 2009. This is the largest number of exits of all the stations on the system. This station is also widely used as a pedestrian tunnel across the wide roads. [[Lujiazui (Shanghai Metro)|Lujiazui station]] (Line '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|2]]''') is the major station in Pudong area. It is situated in the heart of Lujiazui financial district, the financial center of Shanghai. The city's iconic landmarks, the [[Oriental Pearl TV Tower]], [[Jin Mao Tower]] and [[Shanghai World Financial Centre]] are all within walking distance of the station. In contrast to Xujiahui and People's Square, Lujiazui is not particularly busy during off-peak hours or at weekends as it is located in financial district of Shanghai. [[Shanghai Railway Station (Shanghai Metro)|Shanghai Railway Station]] (Lines '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|1]]''', '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|3]]''' and '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|4]]''') is a major transportation hub in Shanghai, containing the railway station, two subway lines and the stop for many city bus lines as well as interprovincial buses. These bus lines will soon be housed in a brand-new bus station. The line 1 platform is in the South square while platforms for line 3/4 are in the North square. These two platforms are technically separate stations, so interchange is only possible between lines 3/4. A transfer to the line 1 platform requires a SPTC or a new ticket. [[Zhongshan Park (Shanghai Metro)|Zhongshan Park Station]] (Lines '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|2]]''', '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|3]]''' and '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|4]]''') is a heavily trafficked station due to the large shopping malls and hotel immediately above it. [[Century Avenue (Shanghai Metro)|Century Avenue Station]] (Lines '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|2]]''', '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|4]]''', '''[[Line 6, Shanghai Metro|6]]''' and '''[[Line 9, Shanghai Metro|9]]''') is the largest interchange station in the Shanghai Metro system. [[Pudong International Airport (Shanghai Metro)|Pudong International Airport]] (Line '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|2]]''') – the eastern terminus of Line 2. It serves the [[Pudong International Airport|airport of the same name]] in Shanghai. The station also provides a transfer with the [[Shanghai Maglev Train]] to Longyang Road. [[Shibo Avenue (Shanghai Metro)|Shibo Avenue]] (Line '''[[Line 13, Shanghai Metro|13]]''') – the station that serves the main entrance of the [[Expo 2010|Shanghai Expo]]. ==Ticket system== [[File:Jiaotong University Station Line 10 Platform.jpg|right|thumb|Jiaotong University Station]] [[File:Dabaishu Station.jpg|right|thumb|Dabaishu Station]] Like many other metro systems in the world, Shanghai Metro uses a distance-based fare system. As of September 15, 2005, after Shanghai Municipal Government raised the price, fares range from 3 [[Renminbi|yuan]] for journeys under 6&nbsp;km, to 10 yuan for journeys over 66&nbsp;km. As of December 25, 2005, Shanghai uses a "one-ticket network", which means that interchanging is possible between all interchange stations without the purchase of another ticket where available. In the event of riding beyond the value of your ticket, you may pay the difference at a Service Center near the main turnstiles. Since June 1, 2008, users of the [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] can interchange at [[Shanghai Railway Station (Shanghai Metro)|Shanghai Railway Station]], [[Yishan Road (Shanghai Metro)|Yishan Road]] and [[Hongkou Stadium (Shanghai Metro)|Hongkou Stadium]] without paying another base fare. (see section on virtual interchange stations above). ===Fares=== * For most lines, the base fare is 3 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]] ([[United States dollar|US$]]0.45) for journeys under 6&nbsp;km, then 1 yuan for each additional 10&nbsp;km. As of April 2010, the highest fare is 10 yuan (US$1.5). * For journeys exclusively on [[Line 5, Shanghai Metro|Line 5]] (Xinzhuang – Minhang Development Zone), the fare is 2 yuan for journeys under 6&nbsp;km and all other journeys are 3 yuan (though the total length of this line is a bit longer than 16&nbsp;km). * Users of the [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] get a 10% discount for the rest of the calendar month after paying 70 yuan. The discount is applied only for journeys after the payment; it is not retroactively applied to previous journeys. * Users of the [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]] as part of the "Air-conditioned Bus Transfer Discount" get a 1 yuan discount when transferring to the metro within 90 minutes. (The 10% monthly discount may be applied after the transfer discount) This discount also applies for bus to Metro and bus to bus transfers and can accumulate over multiple transfers. For example, to get from Zhenbei Rd/Meichuan Rd to Xiuyan Rd/Hunan Rd would normally cost 8 yuan each way (947 bus to line 4 to 451 bus) but only costs 6 RMB with the card (947 bus discounted transfer to line 4, discounted transfer to 451 bus). Depending on the time spent at the destination the discount will be applied at the start of the return trip as well, making the cost of a round-trip 11 yuan instead of the 16 yuan that would normally be charged without the card. * Seniors over 70 years of age can take the metro for free (except during rush hours, 7–9am and 5–7pm on weekdays) by using their social security cards (also RFID-embedded) at a special turnstile at each metro station. ===Single-ride ticket=== [[File:Single Journey Ticket after 2005.JPG|thumb|Shanghai Metro Single-Ride Ticket]] Single-ride tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines or at a ticket window. Some new stations only have ticket vending machines available. Single-ride tickets are embedded with RFID contactless chips. When entering the system you tap the ticket against a scanner above the turnstile, and on exit you insert the ticket into a slot where it is stored and recycled. Single-ride tickets is the only ticket form used in Shanghai Metro, no Round Trips or Excursion Passes are available so far. ===Transit card=== {{Main|Shanghai Public Transportation Card}} [[File:Shanghai Metro Entry Gate.jpg|thumb|Ticket gate]] In addition to a Single-Ride ticket, fare can be paid using a [[Shanghai Public Transportation Card]]. This RFID-embedded card can be purchased at selected banks, convenience stores and metro stations with a 20-yuan deposit. This card can be loaded at ticket booths, Service Centers at the metro stations as well as many small convenience stores and banks throughout the city. The Shanghai Public Transportation Card can also be used to pay for other forms of transportation, such as taxi or bus. This transit card is similar to the [[Chicago card]] of the [[Chicago Transit Authority|CTA]] and the [[Octopus card]] of [[Hong Kong]]'s [[MTR]]. ===One-day pass=== A one-day pass was introduced for the [[Expo 2010]] held in [[Shanghai]]. The fare for the calendar day was set at 18 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]], for unlimited travel within the metro system. This is not available through vending machines, but has to be purchased at Service Centers at metro stations.<ref>Signs at the Service points seen on 4–5 July 2010 at the Xujiahui (near Exit 8) and Shanghai West Railway Station.</ref> ==Retail== Nearly every Shanghai subway station houses [[retail]]ing of some kind. Many are small kiosks selling a variety of [[telephony]] products such as telephone calling cards, [[mobile phone]] [[Subscriber Identity Module|SIM]] cards, or new [[cellphone]]s. Newsstands are also available in many stations. Snack shops and convenience stores have become popular, along with bookstores. ATMs can be found in most downtown stations and even some suburban ones. Almost all stations have stands to distribute free newspaper in every weekdays' morning, starting from 7:30. <!--Please add citation and references to this section. The section is also poorly written as it reads like a commentary and personal observation than encyclopedic writing. == Criticism == The subway during rush hours is extremely crowded. To deal with congestion and passenger safety, [[platform screen doors]] are now installed in many stations to act as barriers. Some transfers between different lines are inconvenient. For example, stations that share the same name (such as [[Pudian Road (Shanghai Metro)|Pudian Road]]) on different lines are often hundreds of meters apart. Transferring between different lines frequently requires walking through numerous tunnels. In some stations, the retail section would appear to dominate the station concourse. The [[Xujiahui]] station houses dozens of stores, mostly selling women's and girls' clothing and shoes (now closed for reasons unknown, but most likely in preparation for the line 9 transfer). The only other stations with such a shopping selection are Shanghai Railway station (in the transfer corridor) and the Milan Plaza arcade in Zhongshan Park station. The Metro operators have responded to some criticism. For example, in the People's Square station, the transfer corridor between two lines has been stripped of retail space and shortened to deal with congestion and reduce the hassle for commuters. Also, Xujiahui station concourse has also (as of February 2009) been stripped of retail space. Shops are still allowed in the exit corridors, however. Many stations are not equipped for wheelchairs or strollers, and these may have to be carried along several flights of stairs. Several of the stations have elevators that do not work, and most do not have elevators at all. Only a few newer stations have turnstiles or faregates wide enough for wheelchairs or strollers. Some lines have poor air conditioning in the summer when it is crowded. This problem occurred on old Line 1 trains (Their services started in the year 1993) in 2008, and on almost all Line 5 trains in 2009. Two measures were applied at the same time: accelerating air-conditioner maintenance, and putting ice-filled buckets in cabs. On Line 6, the train is higher than the platform. This has caused a problem in 2007, making 7 people trip during a 1 week period. The station name signs are small and hard to see from most seats in the train, and when not blocked by stairwells or station structure still require looking through the crowd on the platform to the opposite wall. For those who cannot read Chinese it is worse because the English letters are below and only one third the size of the Chinese characters. In a few of the newest stations they have begun to address this with large yellow and black station name signs on the sides of the stairwells next to the tracks.--> ==Technology== [[Image:Glass Doors in Metro Station.jpg|thumb|[[Platform screen doors]] installed]] [[Image:Shmetro Line 2 Train.jpg|thumb|Inside a [[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|Line 2]] train.]] ===Gauge=== Standard gauge is used throughout the network, allowing new train equipment to be transported over the Chinese rail network which uses the same gauge. ===Stations=== Many stations in the stations of Lines 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 have [[Platform Screen Doors]] with sliding [[acrylic glass]] at the platform edge. The train stops with its doors lined-up with the sliding doors on the platform edge and open when the train doors open, and are closed at other times. These screens are also being retrofitted on existing lines, starting with Line 1 whose core stations had doors by the end of 2006. On the People's Square Station of Line 2, the platform has sliding safety doors that reach only halfway up from the ground called [[Automatic platform gate| Automatic platform gates]]. Accessibility facilities for the disabled are available only at a few stations. ===Rolling stock=== Cars used by the Metro system: * 60 [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]] [[Movia]] 456 six car sets – Line 1 and 5 * 37 [[German Shanghai Metro Group]] (GSMG) six cars units – Line 1 and 2 * 28 [[Alstom]] [[Alstom Metropolis|Metropolis]] six car sets – Line 3 * 168 Alstom Metropolis (19 eight car sets) * 152 Alstom Metropolis (18 eight car sets) For five-digit car-numbers, the first two digits represent the year of manufacture. For six-digit car numbers the first two digit represent the line on which it is assigned to operate. ===Power supply=== In contrast to many other metro systems in the world, the Shanghai metro uses [[overhead lines|overhead wires]] for the power supply, probably due to its use of a 1500 volt DC system which is twice the voltage generally used for [[third rail]]s. On Line 2, Siemens Transportation Systems equipped the line with an overhead contact line (cantilever material: galvanized steel) and 7 DC traction power supply substations.<ref>{{cite web |title=Metro-System Line 2, Shanghai, China |url=http://references.transportation.siemens.com/refdb/showReference.do?r=1871&div=3&div=5&div=8&l=en |accessdate=2008-07-06}}</ref> ===Passenger information systems=== Plasma screens on the platforms show passengers when the next two trains are coming (usually one every five minutes or less except on lines 6, 8, and 9 where intervals may be nearly 10 minutes even during peak times), along with advertisements and public service announcements. The subway cars contain [[Liquid crystal display|LCD]] screens showing advertisements and on some lines, the next stop, while above-ground trains have [[light-emitting diode|LED]] screens showing the next stop. The LED scre fuck ens are being phased in on Line 1 and are also included in lines 7 and 9, two underground lines. There are recorded messages stating the next stop in Mandarin and English, but the messages stating nearby attractions or shops for a given station (a form of paid advertising) are in Mandarin only. The paid advertising is being phased out. Station signs are in Chinese and English, but the English letters are much smaller than the Chinese characters. Due to problems identifying stations for foreigners,{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} the Metro's authority plans to put in wide use a numbering system that is now being tested on [[Line 10, Shanghai Metro|Line 10]].<ref>[http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/?id=421856&type=Metro Shanghai Daily]</ref> <!-- Is this necessary? It is old and has no sources to back it up. ==== Unified numbering system ==== Due to the inconsistency in naming of early lines, lines have been renamed in a unified system: * '''[[Line 1, Shanghai Metro|Line 1]]''' – Former name Metro Line 1, Planned name R1. * '''[[Line 2, Shanghai Metro|Line 2]]''' – Former name Metro Line 2, Planned name R2. * '''[[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|Line 3]]''' – Former name Pearl Line, Planned name M3, often mistakenly known as "Light Rail" because it is the first elevated railway. * '''[[Line 4, Shanghai Metro|Line 4]]''' – Former name Pearl Line Phase 2, Planned name M4. * '''[[Line 5, Shanghai Metro|Line 5]]''' – Former name Xinmin Line, Planned name R1a. First surface light rail. * '''[[Line 6, Shanghai Metro|Line 6]]''' – Former name Pudong Light Rail, Planned name L4. * '''[[Line 7, Shanghai Metro|Line 7]]''' – Planned name M7. * '''[[Line 8, Shanghai Metro|Line 8]]''' – Former name Yangpu Line, Planned name M8. * '''[[Line 9, Shanghai Metro|Line 9]]''' – Former name Shensong Line, Planned name R4. * '''[[Line 10, Shanghai Metro|Line 10]]''' – Planned name M1. * '''[[Line 11, Shanghai Metro|Line 11]]''' – Planned name R3. * '''[[Line 12, Shanghai Metro|Line 12]]''' – Planned name M2. * '''[[Line 13, Shanghai Metro|Line 13]]''' – Planned name M5. * Line 14 – Planned name M6. * Line 15 – Planned name L1. * Line 16 – Planned name L2. * Line 17 – Planned name L3. * Line 18 – Planned name L5. R line means it is a subway line that connects the CBD to a suburb.<br> M line means it is a subway line that runs within the CBD only.<br> L line means it is a surface light railway line. --> ==Operators== Four companies operate the Shanghai Metro network. Each of them are subdivisions of Shanghai Shentong Metro Group Co.,Ltd. * '''Shanghai No.1 Metro Operation Co., Ltd.''' manages Lines 1, 5, 9 and 10. * '''Shanghai No.2 Metro Operation Co., Ltd.''' manages Lines 2, 11 and 13. * '''Shanghai No.3 Metro Operation Co., Ltd.''' manages Lines 3, 4 and 7 and will also manage Line 21. * '''Shanghai No.4 Metro Operation Co., Ltd.''' manages Lines 6 and 8 and will also manage Line 12. ==Future expansion== The Shanghai Metro system is one of the fastest growing metro systems in the world. Many lines are under construction or planned to be constructed in the near future. After the completion of these lines, a uniform numbering system will be put in place. According to the latest report, by the end of 2020 the network will comprise 22 lines spanning 877 km.<ref name="zaobao" /> Recently, the planned lines 20 and 21 have been renumbered as 17 and 16 respectively <ref name="2021renumber">[http://www.dianping.com/group/freelunch/topic/3702970 Lines 20 and 21 to be renamed as 17 and 16 respectively]</ref>, while the numbering for the original lines 16 and 17 have not been confirmed, thus causing a series of confusion among citizens. In this table, the numbering of the original lines 16/21 and 17/20 are swapped for ease of reference.

After 1950, the number of motor vehicles on the roads increased dramatically. Shanghai is situated in front of sea, so loading & unloading goods to & from ship always done here. For these, trucks are running throughout the city. Relation with this, the city is very fast living & moving by motor vehicles. The situation grow vastly after 1960. Streets, which were ideal for tram, started being used by motorcars. Thus traffic jams increased followed by heavy pollution and smog. The economic boom in Shanghai, which has a population of 15 million, had unleashed such a surge in traffic by the end of the 1980s that the transportation system was facing meltdown.To overcome these problems, the transport authority decided to close the tram network and switch over to a metro network. Lines were build step by step. After constructing line 1 & 2, authroity observed that construction of subway is costlier, so they decided to stop construction, and change to light rail, which wll be elevated. Thus, line 3 was converted from a former ring railway to light rail, thus followed by line 4, 5 & 6. But the number of passengers were increased rapidly on line 3 & 4. So line 3 & 4 gradually converted from light rail to metro. After constructing line 5 & 6, authroity decided that metro is the most important solution of Shanghai's transport problem, which cannot solved by light rail. So no more light rail lines constructed. Metro network started expanding very rapidly with line 7, 8, 9 and at last 11. In 1958 Earlier, the Shanghai subway construction began the early stage of preparation, when the Soviet Union experts said Shanghai Branch soft soil layer, water content and more would be inappropriate to the building of tunnel project. In 1963 in Pudong Tangqiao using a structured method of reinforced concrete pipe linings try to dig inside diameter of 4.2 meters of the tunnel, used to validate powder sandy soil and silt mixed with clay in the construction quality of the feasibility of the tunnel. 1964, another excavation in the vicinity of Hengshan Park, code-named "Project 60" pilot projects the subway. Diameter is too small can not travel due to large vehicles and ended in failure. 70 Caoxi Park late in the underground, but also tried a second test the tunnel excavation, the investment of more than 4,000 million yuan, from top to bottom-line total length of 1290 meters. Careful subway passengers can find this circuit using a structured method built underground continuous concrete wall (square tunnel), and then used in shield tunneling (circular tunnel) is significantly different.
