{{Main|Timeline of Shanghai Metro line opening}}
[[File:Shanghai Metro evolution.gif|thumb|400px|Evolution of the Shanghai Metro]]
Opening in 1993 with full-scale construction extending back to 1986, the Shanghai Metro is the third-oldest rapid transit system in [[mainland China]]<!--do not change; MTR predated Tianjin and Shanghai-->, after the [[Beijing Subway]] and the [[Tianjin Metro]]. It has seen substantial growth, significantly during the years leading up to the [[Expo 2010]], and is still expanding quickly, with its most recent expansions having opened in December 2021.
===1993–2002: Origins===
A subway was first proposed for Shanghai in 1956. Tests started in 1964, but construction was suspended during the Cultural Revolution in the mid-1960s.
The economic and population boom of Shanghai led to a surge in traffic that was beginning to overwhelm the transportation system by the end of the 1980s. The State Council of China approved the Master City Plan of Shanghai (1983–2000), the first-ever approval by the State Council in the history of Shanghai was approved in 1986. A 40-year phased program was designed that would include 11 metro lines covering over 325 km by 2025.<ref>Railway technology. [https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/shanghai-metro/ Shanghai Metro]. 2007.</ref> On 14 August 1986, China's State Council approved the Proposal Concerning Construction of Shanghai City Subway Line from Xin Long Hua Station to Shanghai Railway Station.<ref>Lu JinDong and Chen Yi Xin. [https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr10/f31_luc.html Feature: Urban Railways in China and India. The Shanghai No. 1 Subway Line]. Japan Railway & Transport Review No. 10 (pp.31–37).</ref>
The southern section of [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] (four stations) opened on May 28, 1993. Full line (including middle and northern sections) eventually opened on April 10, 1995, and in the first year, it was handled an average of 600,000 passengers daily.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Line 1 {{!}} ExploreShanghai|url=https://exploreshanghai.com/metro/pedia/line/1/|access-date=2021-11-13|website=exploreshanghai.com}}</ref> The first phase of [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|line 2]] was inaugurated in June 2000, which is 2010 linked Hongqiao International Airport ([[Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport|SHA]]) and Pudong International Airport ([[Shanghai Pudong International Airport|PVG]]). The 25 km [[Line 3 (Shanghai Metro)|line 3]], the Pearl Line, opened for revenue service in 2001. [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 5]] opened in 2003. [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 4]] joined the network in January 2006 and became a circular line in 2007.
The Master Plan of Shanghai Metro-Region 1999–2020 was approved by the State Council of China on May 11, 2001.<ref>[https://www.encyclopedia.com/international/international-magazines/master-city-plan-shanghai-2001 Master City Plan of Shanghai in 2001]. www.encyclopedia.com.</ref> The plan had 17 lines in total, containing four intra-city-region express rail lines, eight urban metro lines, and five urban light-rail lines with a total length of about 780 kilometers. The total length of the planned MRT network in the central city will add up to 488 kilometers. In addition, Shanghai will strengthen the development of the suburban rail transport network so that it can link to and coordinate with state rail lines, metro lines, and light railways. One or two rail transport lines are planned between every new city and the central city.
===2003–2010: Rapid expansion for the Expo 2010===
In 2003 when the length was only 3 lines, 65 kilometers (with a further 5 lines already under construction), Shanghai was named host city for the World Expo 2010, plans were made to extend the length of the Metro to 400 kilometers by the time it opened in 2010.<ref name="ReferenceA">[https://www.shine.cn/feature/lifestyle/1809081811/ Shanghai Metro: from nothing to world leader]. Shine. 2018-09-08.</ref> Thereby it completed the initial 40-year plan 15 years ahead of schedule.
During Expo 2010 the metro system consisted of 11 lines, 407 km, and 277 stations.
===2011–2021: Completion of a master plan===
In 2009 Shanghai announced it would have [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shanghaimetro_2020.svg 21 lines] operating by 2020 with lines extending further into the suburban areas. At the end of 2021 (expected), most of the lines of the plan were opened (with an exemption of line 20, Jiamin line, and Chongming line) leading to 19 lines (line 1-18 and Pujiang), 802 km, 516 stations.
On 16 October 2013, with the extension of [[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|line 11]] into [[Kunshan]] in [[Jiangsu]] province, Shanghai Metro became the first rapid transit system in China to provide cross-provincial service and the second intercity metro after the [[Guangfo Metro]].
===2021 onwards: Phase III construction===
The National Development and Reform Commission has approved the 2018-2023 construction plan for the city’s Metro network. The construction of five new metro lines (and two commuter rail lines) and two extensions to opened lines are expected to take five to six years and are planned to start construction before 2023. After completion, there will be 27 metro and commuter rail lines covering 1,154 kilometers.
With the Shanghai Master Plan, 2017-2035 more emphasis was put on other rail transit modes. The plan calls for a comprehensive transportation system that consists of multimodel rail transit. Intercity lines (intercity railway, municipality railway, and express railway), urban lines (subway and light rail), and local lines (modern tramcar, rubber-tired transit system) in a length of more than 1,000 km each.<ref>[https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/newshanghai/xxgkfj/2035004.pdf Shanghai Master Plan 2017-2035. Striving for the Excellent Global City.] Shanghai Urban Planning and Land Resource Administration Bureau. January 2018.</ref>
By 2035, public transportation will account for over 50% of all means of transportation, and 60% of rail transit stations in the inner areas of the main city will have 600m of land coverage. According to the NDRC, the Shanghai Metro network (including commuter rail) will cover 1,642 kilometers in total by 2030 and more than 2,000 kilometers by 2035.<ref>[https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/1812196940/ Chongming is in line for planned Metro extension]. Shine. 2018-12-20.</ref>
===Evolution===
Since 1993, the ridership of the entire network has grown as the new lines or sections come into operation. The following data displays the system length of Shanghai Metro, the number of stations and the annual ridership.
From 2003 in most years new lines have come into operation.
Between the end of 2007 and 2010 the system length and number of stations saw the largest growth. Ridership increased between 2011 and 2016 with 10% per annum, between 2017 and 2019 with 5%. The reduction in ridership in 2020 is due to Covid-19.<ref>[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport]</ref> Ridership recovered to close to pre-covid levels in 2021, with a ridership on 31 December of 13.014 million.

===In service===
There are currently 19 lines in operation, with lines and services denoted numerically as well as by characteristic colors, which are used as a visual aid for better distinction on station signage and on the exterior of trains, in the form of a colored block or belt.
Most tracks in the Shanghai Metro system are served by a single service; thus "Line X" usually refers to both the physical line and its service. The only exception is the segment shared by lines [[Line 3 (Shanghai Metro)|3]] and [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|4]], between [[Hongqiao Road station]] and [[Baoshan Road station]], where both services use the same tracks and platforms.

Most lines currently use semi-automatic train operations (STO/GoA2). Starting and stopping are automated, but a driver operates the doors, drives the train if needed and handles emergencies. The exceptions being:
* Lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]] and [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]]: Driverless train operations (DTO/GoA3) train attendant operates the doors and drives the train in case of emergencies.
* Lines [[Line 10 (Shanghai Metro)|10]], [[Line 14 (Shanghai Metro)|14]], [[Line 15 (Shanghai Metro)|15]], [[Line 18 (Shanghai Metro)|18]] and [[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]]: Unattended train operations (UTO/GoA4) starting and stopping, operation of doors are all fully automated without any on-train staff. With a total length of 167 km it is world largest autonomous metro system.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chen |first1=Huizhi |title=Shanghai to add two Metro lines on December 30 |url=https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2112280145/ |agency=Sihine |date=December 28, 2021}}</ref>
Most lines currently use 6 car sets, with the exceptions being:
* The Minhang Developing Zone branch of [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|line 5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|line 6]] and [[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]], which uses 4 car sets.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|url=https://www.crrcgc.cc/ckgf/g7656/s15215/t266911.aspx|script-title=zh:上海地铁8号线车辆 |language=zh |script-website=zh:中车长春轨道客车股份有限公司|access-date=2020-03-20}}</ref>

* Lines [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|1]], [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|2]] and [[Line 14 (Shanghai Metro)|14]] use 8 car sets.
On most lines the maximum operating speed is {{convert|80|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}, with the exceptions being:
* Lines [[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|11]] and [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]] the maximum operating speed is {{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

[[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]] is the only line using cars with [[Rubber-tyred metro|rubber tires]] running on concrete tracks.
All subway cars have air-conditioning. During summer of 2021 the subway's first and last carriages on Metro lines 3-5, 10-13, and 15-18 will be 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the other carriages, the air-conditioning is adjustable for different carriages on these lines. The measure aims to address the needs of some passengers who find the trains "too cold," especially the elderly and children.<ref>[https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2108063246/ Metro about to warm things up for chilly passengers].

===Platform screen doors===
[[Image:200605 Xujiahui station line 1 platform edge doors.jpg|thumb|[[Platform screen doors]] installed at [[Xujiahui station]] on [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]]]]
Almost all stations have (full height) [[platform screen doors]] with sliding [[acrylic glass]] at the platform edge. Only half height doors called [[automatic platform gate]]s<ref>([https://www.dow.com/content/dam/dcc/documents/en-us/case-study/63/63-11/63-1172-01-shanghai-metro-china.pdf?iframe=true Dow Assists in Construction of Shanghai Metro: Case Study: Shanghai Metro. 2018]. Dow Performance Silicones.</ref> are placed at most of the elevated sections and the section of [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|line 2]] from [[Songhong Road station|Songhong Road]] to [[Longyang Road station|Longyang Road]]. 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.
In the early 2000's, before the screen doors were installed, the annual suicide rate on the Shanghai subway system averaged about eight.<ref>{{cite news |title=Shanghai Subway Takes Suicide Prevention Measures |url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/2004/Oct/109759.htm |agency=China Daily |date=October 19, 2004}}</ref> To help cope with passenger handling, platform safety doors were built for [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|line 4]] onwards{{efn|Note: line 5 was constructed before line 4.}} and a programme for retro-fitting older lines was put in place.<ref>{{cite web |title=Shanghai Metro |url=https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/shanghai-metro/ |website=Railway Technology}}</ref> The retrofitting on existing lines started with [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] whose core stations had doors by the end of 2006.
===Renewable energy===
Shanghai metro started building solar plants from 2013 and the process has been accelerated since 2019, with plans to build rooftop solar plants with a total electricity generation capacity of 30 to 50 megawatts between 2021 and 2025. In 2021 it had 10 existing rooftop solar plants on depots and parking lots (Chuanyanghe, Zhibei, Jinqiao, Longyang Road, Sanlin, Fujin Road, Zhongchun Road, Beizhai Road, Chentai Road and Pujiang Town) generating an average annual power generation of about 23 million kwh.<ref>[https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202102/23/WS603485e8a31024ad0baaa72d_1.html Shanghai metro group to increase solar energy capabilities] Shanghai Daily, 23-02-2021.</ref>
==Stations==
{{Main|List of Shanghai Metro stations}}
===Security===
Riders are subject to searches of their persons and belongings at all stations by security inspectors using metal detectors, X-Ray machines. Items banned from public transportation such as "guns, ammunition, knives, explosives, flammable and radioactive materials, and toxic chemicals" are subject to confiscation.<ref>Shanghai metro: [http://service.shmetro.com/en/cczn/32.htm security check]</ref>
Stations are equipped with closed-circuit television. Police do for example use it to arrest pickpockets caught on CCTV.<ref>[https://www.thatsmags.com/shanghai/post/19237/photos-shanghai-metro-pickpockets-caught-on-cctv PHOTOS: Shanghai Metro Pickpockets Caught on CCTV]. That's Shanghai, 5 June 2017.</ref>
Smoking is strictly prohibited in the metro premises. Bicycles (including folding bikes) and pets (including cats, dogs etc.) are not allowed in stations. The use of skateboards, roller skates and other equipment is not allowed in stations and carriages.<ref>Shanghai Metro: [http://service.shmetro.com/en/flfg/221.htm Shanghai Rail Transit Safety Management Measures.] 2013-11-25</ref>
Since April 1, 2020 there is a national ban on "Uncivilized Behavior" on China's Subways, which also includes conduct rules cracking down on bad subway etiquette, such as stepping on seats, lying down on a bench or floor and playing music or videos out loud. It also bans eating and drinking on subway cars nationwide, with exceptions for infants and people with certain medical conditions.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/10/29/china-bans-eating-drinking-and-uncivilized-behavior-on-subway/ China bans eating, drinking and ‘uncivilized’ behavior on subway]. New York Post. October 29, 2019.</ref>
===Passenger information systems===
Plasma screens on the platforms show passengers when the next two trains are coming, 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 screens are being phased in on [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] and are also included in lines [[Line 7 (Shanghai Metro)|7]] and [[Line 9 (Shanghai Metro)|9]], two underground lines.
There are recorded messages stating the next stop in Mandarin, English, and (on lines [[Line 16 (Shanghai Metro)|16]] an [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]] only) [[Shanghainese]],<ref name="sh.sina.com.cn"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://shanghaiist.com/2014/01/04/shanghai-metro-announcements-shanghainese.php|title=Shanghai Metro to make announcements in Shanghainese|access-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171105191039/http://shanghaiist.com/2014/01/04/shanghai-metro-announcements-shanghainese.php|archive-date=November 5, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> but the messages stating nearby attractions or shops for a given station (a form of paid advertising) are in Mandarin only. The metro operating company is resistant to expanding use of [[Shanghainese]] for announcing stops, on the basis that, on most lines, the majority of passengers can understand either Mandarin or English.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-09-06 |script-title=zh:上海地铁副总裁指若地铁增加沪语报站是听觉污染 |language=zh |script-work=zh:羊城网 |url=http://www.gznf.net/thread-542344-1-1.html |url-status=live |access-date=2016-01-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304185457/http://www.gznf.net/thread-542344-1-1.html |archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref>
Station signs are in Simplified Chinese and English. The Metro authority is testing a new systematic numbering system for stations on [[Line 10 (Shanghai Metro)|line 10]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/?id=421856&type=Metro |title=Shanghai Daily |access-date=2011-12-05}}</ref>

==Operations==
===Partial service patterns===
Partial service patterns exist on lines 1-4, 6-15 and 17-18. Partial services serve only a (usually busier) sub-segment of the entire physical line.<ref name="line 1"/><ref name="line 2"/><ref name="line 3"/><ref name="line 4"/><ref name="line 6"/><ref name="line 7"/><ref name="line 8"/><ref name="line 9"/><ref name="line 10"/><ref name="line 11"/><ref name="line 12"/><ref name="line 13"/><ref name="line 15"/><ref name="line 17"/>
[[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 11]], one of the three branch lines of the metro system, operates a different partial service pattern. Trains travelling to and from the branch line terminate at [[Huaqiao station (Shanghai Metro)|Huaqiao Station]] and [[Sanlin station|Sanlin]] respectively. Hence, a passenger who wants to travel from the terminus of the branch to the eastern terminus of the line, at [[Disney Resort station|Disney Resort]] must change trains.<ref name="line 11"/>
===Express services===
[[Line 16 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 16]], unlike the rest of the system, is built with [[passing loop]]s and operates an express and rapid services. The service was postponed on January 30, 2014, due to lack of available trains, but resumed on March 21, 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201312/con113574.htm |script-title=zh:12号线、16号线12月29日起载客试运营 |publisher=Shanghai Metro |access-date=2015-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125075159/http://shmetro.com/node49/201312/con113574.htm |archive-date=2014-11-25 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201603/con114619.htm|script-title=zh:上海地铁 |language=zh |website=www.shmetro.com|access-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811105007/http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201603/con114619.htm|archive-date=August 11, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Line16">{{cite web |url=http://service.shmetro.com/hcskb/256.htm |script-title=zh:16号线首末班车时刻表 |language=zh |date=December 27, 2014 |publisher=Shanghai Metro |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521171349/http://service.shmetro.com/hcskb/256.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Fares and ticket system==
[[File:Jiaotong University Station Line 10 Platform.jpg|right|thumb|{{SHM stations|Jiaotong University}} station]]
[[File:Dabaishu Station.jpg|right|thumb|{{SHM stations|Dabaishu}} station]]
Like many other metro systems in the world, Shanghai Metro uses a distance-based fare system. The system uses a "one-ticket network", which means that interchanging is possible between all interchange stations, given that the transfer staying within the Shanghai Metro system, without the purchase of another ticket where available, excluding some stations where transferring to another line at said station requires leaving the Fare Zone which mandates a Single-Journey Ticket be used before entering that of another line, requiring the purchase of another Single-Journey Ticket (Shanghai Public Transport Cards are exempt as they are not consumed upon exit). The [[Shanghai Public Transport Card]], which allows access to most public transport in Shanghai under one card, is another form of payment.
All stations are equipped with Shanghai public transport card self-service recharge machines, some of which support card sales and card refund operations. Passengers can also choose to purchase public transport cards to travel.
Automatic ticket vending machines are divided into "coins only" and "coins and banknotes are collected", the coin only machine collects 1 yuan and 0.5 yuan, and the coins and banknotes all accept 5, 10, 20, and 50 yuan banknotes and 1 and, 0.5 yuan coins. Vending machines will provide change.
===Children under 1.3 meters===
One or two children not taller than 1.3 meters (inclusive) are exempted from paying a fare in accompany of another passenger. In cases of more than two, the passenger should buy tickets. A preschool child, unattended by an adult, is not allowed to take the train alone.<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/160.htm Shanghai metro: Introduction of Ticket: Free metro trip].</ref>
===Periodic pass===
A pass for unlimited travel within the metro system for either 24 or 72 hours is offered. This pass 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>
* A '''one-day pass''' priced at 18 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass was introduced on 24 April 2010 for the [[Expo 2010]] held in Shanghai.
* A '''three-day pass''' priced at 45 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass was available since 8 March 2012.
* A '''Maglev single trip ticket and metro ticket''' priced at 55 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass allows for a ride on the [[Shanghai Maglev Train]] and unlimited travel within the metro system for 24 hours. A '''Maglev round trip and metro ticket''' is priced at 85 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]].
===Distance-based fare===
* The base fare is 3 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]] (RMB) for journeys under 6 km, then 1 yuan for each additional 10 km. As of December 2017, the highest fare is 15 yuan (travel between [[Oriental Land Station|Oriental Land]] to [[Dishui Lake Station|Dishui Lake]], the farthest distance at present).<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cphc/12.htm Shanghai metro: Pricing of Metro Tickets].</ref> This fare has not changed since 15 September 2005.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jigong |first1=Hu |title=上海市物价局关于同意调整本市轨道交通客运票价的复函 (Reply letter of Shanghai Municipal Price Bureau on agreeing to adjust the passenger fare of rail transit in this city) |url=http://service.shmetro.com/fuhan/index.htm |website=Shanghai Metro |access-date=6 September 2005}}</ref>

* Shortest route calculated as multiple route available between any entry-exit stations.
* Travel time limit is 4 hour. Additional lowest single journey fare (3 yuan) is required if time limit is exceeded.
* For journeys exclusively from [[Xinzhuang station (Shanghai Metro)|Xinzhuang Station]] to [[People's Square station (Shanghai Metro)|People's Square Station]], the fare is 4 yuan, though the distance between People's Square Station and Xinzhuang Station is about {{convert|17.8|km|abbr=on}}.
Only passengers with unused tickets at the station on the day can refund tickets at the service center. Refunds can also be processed in the event of a train failure for more than 15 minutes, and the apology letter can be downloaded on the official website, WeChat public account and Metropolis app.
====Single-Journey Ticket====
[[File:Shanghai_metro_machine_map.jpg|thumb|Shanghai metro ticketing machine map]]
Single-Journey tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines, and at some stations, at a ticket window. Single-ride tickets are embedded with RFID contactless chips. When entering the system riders tap the ticket against a scanner above the turnstile, and when they exit they insert the ticket into a slot where it is stored and recycled. This ticket does not facilitate transfers at a [[Shanghai Public Transport Card#Virtual transfer|virtual interchange station]]. Passengers would have to purchase a new ticket when reentering the fare gate.<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/index.htm Shanghai Metro: Introduction of Ticket].</ref>
====Shanghai Public Transportation Card====
{{Main|Shanghai Public Transportation Card}}
In addition to a Single-Ride ticket, the fare can be paid using a [[Shanghai public transport card]] (SPTC or Jiaotong Yikatong), which is similar to the [[Octopus card]] of Hong Kong's [[MTR]]. 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. Refunds can be obtained at selected stations.{{efn|Refunds of the Shanghai Public Transportation Card are available between 9:00-19:00 at line 1: {{SHM stations|Jinjiang Park}}, {{SHM stations|Hengshan Road}}, {{SHM stations|Hanzhong Road}} and {{SHM stations|Gongkang Road}}; line 2: {{SHM stations|Songhong Road}}, {{SHM stations|Jiangsu Road}}, {{SHM stations|Century Park}} and {{SHM stations|Haitiansan Road}}; line 3: {{SHM stations|Caoxi Road}}, {{SHM stations|Zhongtan Road}}, {{SHM stations|Dongbaoxing Road}} and {{SHM stations|North Jiangyang Road}}; line 4: {{SHM stations|Yangshupu Road}}.}}<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/20.htm Shanghai metro: Introduction of Ticket: Public Transport Card]</ref>
'''Discounts for SPTC holders''':
* Users of the [[Shanghai public transport card]] get a 10% discount for the rest of the calendar month after paying 70 yuan in taking metro, The discount is applied only for journeys after the payment; it is not retroactively applied to previous journeys.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
* Transfers at [[Shanghai Metro#Virtual transfer stations|virtual interchange stations]] the fare will be calculated continuously.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
* Users of the [[Shanghai public transport card]] as part of the "Air-conditioned Bus Transfer Discount" get a 1 yuan discount when transferring to the metro within 120 minutes. (The 10% monthly discount may be applied after the transfer discount) This discount also applies for a bus to Metro and bus to bus transfers and can accumulate over multiple transfers. 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.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
Public transport cards of other cities and provinces with [[Union Pay]] are accepted, but those do not offer discount and at [[Shanghai Public Transport Card#Virtual transfer|virtual interchange stations]] transfers will be counted as a new ride.<ref name = "MetroConcessionTerms" >[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cphc/14.htm Shanghai Metro: Metro Concession Terms].</ref>
====Mobile payments====
Passengers can also pay their Shanghai Metro fares using a mobile phone app, Daduhui (Metro Metropolis in English) since January 2018. The app requires one to scan a QR code when entering the fare gate at the origin station and again when exiting at the destination station. The fare is then deducted.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-01-17/shanghai-metro-to-accept-mobile-app-payments-101199079.html|title=Shanghai Metro to Accept Mobile-App Payments|date=17 Jan 2018|access-date=26 June 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
The system supports [[Alipay]], [[WeChat Pay]] and [[Union Pay]], three of the most commonly used mobile payment methods in China.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
=== Previous fare schemes ===
* Line 1: On July 1, 1997 introduced a two-level segment fares of 2 yuan (13 stops or less) and 3 yuan (14 stops or more). On March 1, 1999, Shanghai Metro Line 1 opened an automatic ticket collection system, using one-way tickets (magnetic cards) and stored-value tickets (IC cards), and the original paper tickets were discontinued.
* Line 2: To ease the traffic pressure in the tunnel, Line 2 launched a special price of 1 yuan for crossing the river between August 10, 2000 and November 1, 2001, and then the number of passengers increased exponentially.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mingmin |first1=Sun |title=上海地铁二号线月内提速 行车间隔缩短至7.25分钟 (Shanghai Metro Line 2 speeds up and the driving interval is shortened to 7.25 minutes within a month) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2001-09-10/352177.html |date=September 10, 2001}}</ref> Thereafter, the fare of Metro Line 2 is 2 yuan for 0 to 6 kilometers; 3 yuan for 6 to 16 kilometers; more than 16 kilometers, the fare increases by 1 yuan for every additional 6 kilometers.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hui |first1=Zhong |title=上海地铁二号线恢复２元票价后 客流基本持平 (Passenger flow is basically the same after Shanghai Metro Line 2 resumes the 2 yuan fare) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2001-11-22/404733.html |date=November 22, 2001}}</ref> From opening line 2 used magnetic card one-way ticket, and the magnetic card stored-value ticket and the contactless smart card stored-value ticket which can be used on metro lines 1 and 2.<ref>{{cite news |title=上海地铁二号线将于明天中午正式通车 |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/china/2000-06-10/96410.html |agency=sina.com.cn |date=October 6, 2000}}</ref>
* Line 3: during the trial operation, preferential fares were implemented, with 2 yuan for the ride below 9 stops, and 3 yuan for the ride with more than 10 stops.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Zhong |first1=Hui |last2=Zhou |first2=Wei |title=国内首条城市高架铁道上海明珠线即将通车(附图) ( China's first urban elevated railway Shanghai Mingzhu Line is about to open to traffic (with photos)) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/162049.html |website=sina.com |date=December 25, 2000}}</ref> From November 1, 2003, the fare will be unified with other routes.
* Before September 15, 2005 the shortest rides had a fare of 2 yuan. This was increased by 1 yuan in order to relieve the overcrowded metro network (with a daily ridership of 1.3 million people in 2004). Rides longer than 28 km had their prices either remained the same or dropped by 1 or 2 yuan. These price changes were meant to encourage more people to take the bus, particularly during rush hour as about 30% of rush-hour passengers and 38% of the total passengers use the subways for short trips. However, the metro fare increase seems to have had little effect.
* On October 21, 2005, Shanghai Metro Lines 1 and 2 fully launched the new "One-Ticket Pass" ticket card. On December 25, Shanghai Metro Line 1 realized the "one-ticket transfer" with Lines 2, 3, and 5.
* In November 2005 a discount scheme of 10% after 70 yuan was introduced to benefit long distance passengers.<ref>[http://www.china.org.cn/english/China/142480.htm Shanghai Metro Rises Fares to Get More Bus Riders]. China Daily. September 16, 2005.</ref>
* During the [[Expo 2010]] in Shanghai riding on the expo line (currently [[Line 13 (Shanghai Metro)|line 13]]) was free. A valid Expo ticket was needed to ride the line.
* Until December 26, 2020 there was for journeys exclusively on the 1st phase of [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|line 5]] (Xinzhuang – Minhang Development Zone) a reduced fare is 2 yuan for journeys under 6 km and all other journeys on the line were 3 yuan (though the total length of this section is a bit longer than 16 km), originally implemented to cultivate passenger flow. This was not applied once passengers interchange to other lines, e.g. fare for passengers from Xinzhuang to Chunshen Road was 2 Yuan, while fare for passengers from Waihuanlu to Chunshen Road was 3 Yuan.

==Controversies and incidents==
===Type C cars===
In 1999, [[Shanghai Electric]] and [[Alstom|Alstom Metropolis]] signed an agreement to invest 28 million US dollars to establish Shanghai Alstom Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd., and introduce a rail transit train production line in Minhang, which could assemble 300 trains annually. Shanghai Alstom only had the national license to produce C-type cars from its establishment, no license to produce A-type cars. At that time, the municipal government stipulated that Shanghai would purchase 300 C-cars produced by the new company on lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|6]], and [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|8]] of the future rail transit construction. The two parties reached an agreement on the purchase of 300 cars at that time. For this reason, the Transportation Research Institute had to "reduce" the predicted passenger flow to accommodate the C-type railcars, allowing for a reduction of the station's civil construction scope for the smaller trains. In the construction of lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|6]], and [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|8]], the railcars were not supplied by the completion of the tender, but by a signed agreement for the railcars after "internal consultation and coordination" between Shentong Group and Shanghai Alstom, a violation of Articles 3 and 4 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Tendering and Bidding.
The person in charge of the passenger flow forecasting project of [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|line 8]] confirmed that the passenger flow forecast report of line 8 was not completed until 2005 after continuous revision. However, in 2003 an agreement was signed for Line 8 to supply 168 C-type vehicles, i.e., Shentong Group signed an agreement with Shanghai Alstom two years before the release of the forecast report, and decided to use the C-type car. At that time, it was predicted that the forecast passenger flow of line 8 would be about 500,000 passengers per day during the three years from 2007 to 2010. The operator used as initial forecast passenger flow of only 200,000 passengers per day. Line 8 was extremely congested upon opening, even leading to physical conflicts between passengers. In 2010, to deal with the overcrowding the metro hired people to shove commuters into trains.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Daozu |first1=Bao |title=Shanghai metro hires people to shove commuters into trains |url=https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-02/04/content_9425324.htm |agency=China Dily |date=2 April 2010}}</ref>
The estimated passenger flow of [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|line 6]] was more than 105,000. However, the highest passenger flow in the first few days of opening reached 150,000.<ref>[https://web-archive-org.translate.goog/web/20201123020956/http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2008-02-15/151314945835.shtml?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=ajax,se,elem The passenger flow forecast report is pre-designated for small cars.] Xinmin.com 2008-02-15.</ref> With a headway of 13.5 minutes at opening and only four carriages, during peak hours people had to wait 45 minutes to get a ride. The relevant departments did not conduct a comprehensive survey of the residents of this place for the estimated passenger flow, but just followed the old concept that as many vehicles as there are people in the household registration book (excluding migrant population).<ref>{{cite news |title=上海地铁新线采用小车厢遭质疑 |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2008-02-15/151314945834.shtml |agency=sina.com.cn |date=February 15, 2008}}</ref>
===Other controversies===
In June 2012 Shanghai Metro asking women on a micro blog to wear more clothing in public. The operator published an image on Sina Weibo, saying it's not surprising for women to be harassed in the subway if they are wearing revealing clothing and called on women to cherish themselves. This attracted opposition from women.<ref>{{cite news |title=Women protest against subway's dress code |url=https://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2012-06/25/content_15521466.htm |agency=China Daily |date=25 June 2012}}</ref>
Some riders bring their own stool on the metro. Although not forbidden, it can block other passengers getting on and off as well as being a potential danger to others.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Xu |first1=Lingchao |title=Bring-your-own seating at Metro rush hour |url=https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/1901097847/ |agency=Shine |date=January 9, 2019}}</ref>
===Train accidents===

[[File:Shanghai Metro evolution.gif|thumb|400px|Evolution of the Shanghai Metro]]
Opening in 1993 with full-scale construction extending back to 1986, the Shanghai Metro is the third-oldest rapid transit system in [[mainland China]]<!--do not change; MTR predated Tianjin and Shanghai-->, after the [[Beijing Subway]] and the [[Tianjin Metro]]. It has seen substantial growth, significantly during the years leading up to the [[Expo 2010]], and is still expanding quickly, with its most recent expansions having opened in December 2021.
===1993–2002: Origins===
A subway was first proposed for Shanghai in 1956. Tests started in 1964, but construction was suspended during the Cultural Revolution in the mid-1960s.
The economic and population boom of Shanghai led to a surge in traffic that was beginning to overwhelm the transportation system by the end of the 1980s. The State Council of China approved the Master City Plan of Shanghai (1983–2000), the first-ever approval by the State Council in the history of Shanghai was approved in 1986. A 40-year phased program was designed that would include 11 metro lines covering over 325 km by 2025.<ref>Railway technology. [https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/shanghai-metro/ Shanghai Metro]. 2007.</ref> On 14 August 1986, China's State Council approved the Proposal Concerning Construction of Shanghai City Subway Line from Xin Long Hua Station to Shanghai Railway Station.<ref>Lu JinDong and Chen Yi Xin. [https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr10/f31_luc.html Feature: Urban Railways in China and India. The Shanghai No. 1 Subway Line]. Japan Railway & Transport Review No. 10 (pp.31–37).</ref>
The southern section of [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] (four stations) opened on May 28, 1993. Full line (including middle and northern sections) eventually opened on April 10, 1995, and in the first year, it was handled an average of 600,000 passengers daily.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Line 1 {{!}} ExploreShanghai|url=https://exploreshanghai.com/metro/pedia/line/1/|access-date=2021-11-13|website=exploreshanghai.com}}</ref> The first phase of [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|line 2]] was inaugurated in June 2000, which is 2010 linked Hongqiao International Airport ([[Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport|SHA]]) and Pudong International Airport ([[Shanghai Pudong International Airport|PVG]]). The 25 km [[Line 3 (Shanghai Metro)|line 3]], the Pearl Line, opened for revenue service in 2001. [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 5]] opened in 2003. [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 4]] joined the network in January 2006 and became a circular line in 2007.
The Master Plan of Shanghai Metro-Region 1999–2020 was approved by the State Council of China on May 11, 2001.<ref>[https://www.encyclopedia.com/international/international-magazines/master-city-plan-shanghai-2001 Master City Plan of Shanghai in 2001]. www.encyclopedia.com.</ref> The plan had 17 lines in total, containing four intra-city-region express rail lines, eight urban metro lines, and five urban light-rail lines with a total length of about 780 kilometers. The total length of the planned MRT network in the central city will add up to 488 kilometers. In addition, Shanghai will strengthen the development of the suburban rail transport network so that it can link to and coordinate with state rail lines, metro lines, and light railways. One or two rail transport lines are planned between every new city and the central city.
===2003–2010: Rapid expansion for the Expo 2010===
In 2003 when the length was only 3 lines, 65 kilometers (with a further 5 lines already under construction), Shanghai was named host city for the World Expo 2010, plans were made to extend the length of the Metro to 400 kilometers by the time it opened in 2010.<ref name="ReferenceA">[https://www.shine.cn/feature/lifestyle/1809081811/ Shanghai Metro: from nothing to world leader]. Shine. 2018-09-08.</ref> Thereby it completed the initial 40-year plan 15 years ahead of schedule.
During Expo 2010 the metro system consisted of 11 lines, 407 km, and 277 stations.
===2011–2021: Completion of a master plan===
In 2009 Shanghai announced it would have [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shanghaimetro_2020.svg 21 lines] operating by 2020 with lines extending further into the suburban areas. At the end of 2021 (expected), most of the lines of the plan were opened (with an exemption of line 20, Jiamin line, and Chongming line) leading to 19 lines (line 1-18 and Pujiang), 802 km, 516 stations.
On 16 October 2013, with the extension of [[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|line 11]] into [[Kunshan]] in [[Jiangsu]] province, Shanghai Metro became the first rapid transit system in China to provide cross-provincial service and the second intercity metro after the [[Guangfo Metro]].
===2021 onwards: Phase III construction===
The National Development and Reform Commission has approved the 2018-2023 construction plan for the city’s Metro network. The construction of five new metro lines (and two commuter rail lines) and two extensions to opened lines are expected to take five to six years and are planned to start construction before 2023. After completion, there will be 27 metro and commuter rail lines covering 1,154 kilometers.
With the Shanghai Master Plan, 2017-2035 more emphasis was put on other rail transit modes. The plan calls for a comprehensive transportation system that consists of multimodel rail transit. Intercity lines (intercity railway, municipality railway, and express railway), urban lines (subway and light rail), and local lines (modern tramcar, rubber-tired transit system) in a length of more than 1,000 km each.<ref>[https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/newshanghai/xxgkfj/2035004.pdf Shanghai Master Plan 2017-2035. Striving for the Excellent Global City.] Shanghai Urban Planning and Land Resource Administration Bureau. January 2018.</ref>
By 2035, public transportation will account for over 50% of all means of transportation, and 60% of rail transit stations in the inner areas of the main city will have 600m of land coverage. According to the NDRC, the Shanghai Metro network (including commuter rail) will cover 1,642 kilometers in total by 2030 and more than 2,000 kilometers by 2035.<ref>[https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/1812196940/ Chongming is in line for planned Metro extension]. Shine. 2018-12-20.</ref>
===Evolution===
Since 1993, the ridership of the entire network has grown as the new lines or sections come into operation. The following data displays the system length of Shanghai Metro, the number of stations and the annual ridership.
From 2003 in most years new lines have come into operation.
Between the end of 2007 and 2010 the system length and number of stations saw the largest growth. Ridership increased between 2011 and 2016 with 10% per annum, between 2017 and 2019 with 5%. The reduction in ridership in 2020 is due to Covid-19.<ref>[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport]</ref> Ridership recovered to close to pre-covid levels in 2021, with a ridership on 31 December of 13.014 million.

{{for|the maglev train and current and future commuter rail services|Shanghai maglev train|Jinshan railway|Shanghai Metropolitan Area Intercity Railway}}
===In service===
There are currently 19 lines in operation, with lines and services denoted numerically as well as by characteristic colors, which are used as a visual aid for better distinction on station signage and on the exterior of trains, in the form of a colored block or belt.
Most tracks in the Shanghai Metro system are served by a single service; thus "Line X" usually refers to both the physical line and its service. The only exception is the segment shared by lines [[Line 3 (Shanghai Metro)|3]] and [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|4]], between [[Hongqiao Road station]] and [[Baoshan Road station]], where both services use the same tracks and platforms.

===Future expansion===
The Shanghai Metro system is one of the fastest-growing metro systems in the world.

Most lines currently use semi-automatic train operations (STO/GoA2). Starting and stopping are automated, but a driver operates the doors, drives the train if needed and handles emergencies. The exceptions being:
* Lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]] and [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]]: Driverless train operations (DTO/GoA3) train attendant operates the doors and drives the train in case of emergencies.
* Lines [[Line 10 (Shanghai Metro)|10]], [[Line 14 (Shanghai Metro)|14]], [[Line 15 (Shanghai Metro)|15]], [[Line 18 (Shanghai Metro)|18]] and [[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]]: Unattended train operations (UTO/GoA4) starting and stopping, operation of doors are all fully automated without any on-train staff. With a total length of 167 km it is world largest autonomous metro system.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chen |first1=Huizhi |title=Shanghai to add two Metro lines on December 30 |url=https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2112280145/ |agency=Sihine |date=December 28, 2021}}</ref>
Most lines currently use 6 car sets, with the exceptions being:
* The Minhang Developing Zone branch of [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|line 5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|line 6]] and [[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]], which uses 4 car sets.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|url=https://www.crrcgc.cc/ckgf/g7656/s15215/t266911.aspx|script-title=zh:上海地铁8号线车辆 |language=zh |script-website=zh:中车长春轨道客车股份有限公司|access-date=2020-03-20}}</ref>

* Lines [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|1]], [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|2]] and [[Line 14 (Shanghai Metro)|14]] use 8 car sets.
On most lines the maximum operating speed is {{convert|80|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}, with the exceptions being:
* Lines [[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|11]] and [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]] the maximum operating speed is {{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

[[Pujiang Line|Pujiang line]] is the only line using cars with [[Rubber-tyred metro|rubber tires]] running on concrete tracks.
All subway cars have air-conditioning. During summer of 2021 the subway's first and last carriages on Metro lines 3-5, 10-13, and 15-18 will be 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the other carriages, the air-conditioning is adjustable for different carriages on these lines. The measure aims to address the needs of some passengers who find the trains "too cold," especially the elderly and children.<ref>[https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2108063246/ Metro about to warm things up for chilly passengers].

===Platform screen doors===
[[Image:200605 Xujiahui station line 1 platform edge doors.jpg|thumb|[[Platform screen doors]] installed at [[Xujiahui station]] on [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]]]]
Almost all stations have (full height) [[platform screen doors]] with sliding [[acrylic glass]] at the platform edge. Only half height doors called [[automatic platform gate]]s<ref>([https://www.dow.com/content/dam/dcc/documents/en-us/case-study/63/63-11/63-1172-01-shanghai-metro-china.pdf?iframe=true Dow Assists in Construction of Shanghai Metro: Case Study: Shanghai Metro. 2018]. Dow Performance Silicones.</ref> are placed at most of the elevated sections and the section of [[Line 2 (Shanghai Metro)|line 2]] from [[Songhong Road station|Songhong Road]] to [[Longyang Road station|Longyang Road]]. 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.
In the early 2000's, before the screen doors were installed, the annual suicide rate on the Shanghai subway system averaged about eight.<ref>{{cite news |title=Shanghai Subway Takes Suicide Prevention Measures |url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/2004/Oct/109759.htm |agency=China Daily |date=October 19, 2004}}</ref> To help cope with passenger handling, platform safety doors were built for [[Line 4 (Shanghai Metro)|line 4]] onwards{{efn|Note: line 5 was constructed before line 4.}} and a programme for retro-fitting older lines was put in place.<ref>{{cite web |title=Shanghai Metro |url=https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/shanghai-metro/ |website=Railway Technology}}</ref> The retrofitting on existing lines started with [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] whose core stations had doors by the end of 2006.
===Renewable energy===
Shanghai metro started building solar plants from 2013 and the process has been accelerated since 2019, with plans to build rooftop solar plants with a total electricity generation capacity of 30 to 50 megawatts between 2021 and 2025. In 2021 it had 10 existing rooftop solar plants on depots and parking lots (Chuanyanghe, Zhibei, Jinqiao, Longyang Road, Sanlin, Fujin Road, Zhongchun Road, Beizhai Road, Chentai Road and Pujiang Town) generating an average annual power generation of about 23 million kwh.<ref>[https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202102/23/WS603485e8a31024ad0baaa72d_1.html Shanghai metro group to increase solar energy capabilities] Shanghai Daily, 23-02-2021.</ref>

Riders are subject to searches of their persons and belongings at all stations by security inspectors using metal detectors, X-Ray machines. Items banned from public transportation such as "guns, ammunition, knives, explosives, flammable and radioactive materials, and toxic chemicals" are subject to confiscation.<ref>Shanghai metro: [http://service.shmetro.com/en/cczn/32.htm security check]</ref>
Stations are equipped with closed-circuit television. Police do for example use it to arrest pickpockets caught on CCTV.<ref>[https://www.thatsmags.com/shanghai/post/19237/photos-shanghai-metro-pickpockets-caught-on-cctv PHOTOS: Shanghai Metro Pickpockets Caught on CCTV]. That's Shanghai, 5 June 2017.</ref>
Smoking is strictly prohibited in the metro premises. Bicycles (including folding bikes) and pets (including cats, dogs etc.) are not allowed in stations. The use of skateboards, roller skates and other equipment is not allowed in stations and carriages.<ref>Shanghai Metro: [http://service.shmetro.com/en/flfg/221.htm Shanghai Rail Transit Safety Management Measures.] 2013-11-25</ref>
Since April 1, 2020 there is a national ban on "Uncivilized Behavior" on China's Subways, which also includes conduct rules cracking down on bad subway etiquette, such as stepping on seats, lying down on a bench or floor and playing music or videos out loud. It also bans eating and drinking on subway cars nationwide, with exceptions for infants and people with certain medical conditions.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/10/29/china-bans-eating-drinking-and-uncivilized-behavior-on-subway/ China bans eating, drinking and ‘uncivilized’ behavior on subway]. New York Post. October 29, 2019.</ref>
===Passenger information systems===
Plasma screens on the platforms show passengers when the next two trains are coming, 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 screens are being phased in on [[Line 1 (Shanghai Metro)|line 1]] and are also included in lines [[Line 7 (Shanghai Metro)|7]] and [[Line 9 (Shanghai Metro)|9]], two underground lines.
There are recorded messages stating the next stop in Mandarin, English, and (on lines [[Line 16 (Shanghai Metro)|16]] an [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]] only) [[Shanghainese]],<ref name="sh.sina.com.cn"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://shanghaiist.com/2014/01/04/shanghai-metro-announcements-shanghainese.php|title=Shanghai Metro to make announcements in Shanghainese|access-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171105191039/http://shanghaiist.com/2014/01/04/shanghai-metro-announcements-shanghainese.php|archive-date=November 5, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> but the messages stating nearby attractions or shops for a given station (a form of paid advertising) are in Mandarin only. The metro operating company is resistant to expanding use of [[Shanghainese]] for announcing stops, on the basis that, on most lines, the majority of passengers can understand either Mandarin or English.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-09-06 |script-title=zh:上海地铁副总裁指若地铁增加沪语报站是听觉污染 |language=zh |script-work=zh:羊城网 |url=http://www.gznf.net/thread-542344-1-1.html |url-status=live |access-date=2016-01-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304185457/http://www.gznf.net/thread-542344-1-1.html |archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref>
Station signs are in Simplified Chinese and English.

On December 31, 2009 Shanghai launched a [http://service.shmetro.com/en/klssxx/index.htm website] displaying real-time comprehensive passenger flow information, each station and line is displayed as either green (normal operation), yellow (crowded), and red (suspended/not in operation).
===Announcements===
All trains in the Shanghai Metro display destinations in Simplified Chinese and English, and make announcements in [[Standard Mandarin]], English, and (on lines [[Line 16 (Shanghai Metro)|16]] and [[Line 17 (Shanghai Metro)|17]] only) [[Shanghainese]] in order to indicate next stations, directions, and partial/full-length service patterns.<ref name="sh.sina.com.cn">{{cite web|url=http://sh.sina.com.cn/news/b/2013-12-30/090576042.html|title=16号线开通乘客爆棚 采用3节编组首次用沪语报站 _新浪上|language=zh|website=sh.sina.com.cn|access-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914034902/http://sh.sina.com.cn/news/b/2013-12-30/090576042.html|archive-date=September 14, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Facilities===
There is cellular phone network coverage in stations and generally during the ride. In 2020 all stations were provided coverage of the 5G network.<ref>[https://www.shine.cn/biz/event/2005188338/%20Shine, Shanghai's 5G services coming to Metro stations] Shine. May 22, 2020.</ref>

There are toilets for passengers in more than 90% metro stations in Shanghai. Passengers could use these toilets free of charge.<ref>Shanghai Metro: [http://service.shmetro.com/en/czdtwt/317.htm FAQ Service]</ref>
Shanghai’s subway system is wheelchair accessible, with elevators at all stations. However, elevators can be difficult to locate at the street level.<ref>Wheelchair travel. China Wheelchair Accessible Travel Guide [https://wheelchairtravel.org/shanghai/public-transportation/ Shanghai Public Transportation].</ref>
First [[Automated external defibrillator|AED]] (automatic external defibrillator) were installed at the city's Metro stations in 2015, with all metro stations having AEDs at the end of 2021.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chen |first1=Huizhi |title=All Shanghai Metro stations to have cardiac arrest defibrillators |url=https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2108183714/ |access-date=18 August 2021 |publisher=Shine |date=18 August 2021}}</ref>
==Operations==
===Partial service patterns===
Partial service patterns exist on lines 1-4, 6-15 and 17-18. Partial services serve only a (usually busier) sub-segment of the entire physical line.<ref name="line 1"/><ref name="line 2"/><ref name="line 3"/><ref name="line 4"/><ref name="line 6"/><ref name="line 7"/><ref name="line 8"/><ref name="line 9"/><ref name="line 10"/><ref name="line 11"/><ref name="line 12"/><ref name="line 13"/><ref name="line 15"/><ref name="line 17"/>
[[Line 11 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 11]], one of the three branch lines of the metro system, operates a different partial service pattern. Trains travelling to and from the branch line terminate at [[Huaqiao station (Shanghai Metro)|Huaqiao Station]] and [[Sanlin station|Sanlin]] respectively. Hence, a passenger who wants to travel from the terminus of the branch to the eastern terminus of the line, at [[Disney Resort station|Disney Resort]] must change trains.<ref name="line 11"/>
===Express services===
[[Line 16 (Shanghai Metro)|Line 16]], unlike the rest of the system, is built with [[passing loop]]s and operates an express and rapid services. The service was postponed on January 30, 2014, due to lack of available trains, but resumed on March 21, 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201312/con113574.htm |script-title=zh:12号线、16号线12月29日起载客试运营 |publisher=Shanghai Metro |access-date=2015-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125075159/http://shmetro.com/node49/201312/con113574.htm |archive-date=2014-11-25 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201603/con114619.htm|script-title=zh:上海地铁 |language=zh |website=www.shmetro.com|access-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811105007/http://www.shmetro.com/node49/201603/con114619.htm|archive-date=August 11, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Line16">{{cite web |url=http://service.shmetro.com/hcskb/256.htm |script-title=zh:16号线首末班车时刻表 |language=zh |date=December 27, 2014 |publisher=Shanghai Metro |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521171349/http://service.shmetro.com/hcskb/256.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Extra trains from Hongqiao Railway Station====
On Sunday to Thursday, there are two trains on both line 2 and 10 taking passengers from Hongqiao Railway Station and airport after normal operation time and only stop at selected stations.
==Fares and ticket system==
[[File:Jiaotong University Station Line 10 Platform.jpg|right|thumb|{{SHM stations|Jiaotong University}} station]]
[[File:Dabaishu Station.jpg|right|thumb|{{SHM stations|Dabaishu}} station]]
Like many other metro systems in the world, Shanghai Metro uses a distance-based fare system. The system uses a "one-ticket network", which means that interchanging is possible between all interchange stations, given that the transfer staying within the Shanghai Metro system, without the purchase of another ticket where available, excluding some stations where transferring to another line at said station requires leaving the Fare Zone which mandates a Single-Journey Ticket be used before entering that of another line, requiring the purchase of another Single-Journey Ticket (Shanghai Public Transport Cards are exempt as they are not consumed upon exit). The [[Shanghai Public Transport Card]], which allows access to most public transport in Shanghai under one card, is another form of payment.
All stations are equipped with Shanghai public transport card self-service recharge machines, some of which support card sales and card refund operations. Passengers can also choose to purchase public transport cards to travel.
Automatic ticket vending machines are divided into "coins only" and "coins and banknotes are collected", the coin only machine collects 1 yuan and 0.5 yuan, and the coins and banknotes all accept 5, 10, 20, and 50 yuan banknotes and 1 and, 0.5 yuan coins. Vending machines will provide change.
===Children under 1.3 meters===
One or two children not taller than 1.3 meters (inclusive) are exempted from paying a fare in accompany of another passenger. In cases of more than two, the passenger should buy tickets. A preschool child, unattended by an adult, is not allowed to take the train alone.<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/160.htm Shanghai metro: Introduction of Ticket: Free metro trip].</ref>
===Periodic pass===
A pass for unlimited travel within the metro system for either 24 or 72 hours is offered. This pass 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>
* A '''one-day pass''' priced at 18 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass was introduced on 24 April 2010 for the [[Expo 2010]] held in Shanghai.
* A '''three-day pass''' priced at 45 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass was available since 8 March 2012.
* A '''Maglev single trip ticket and metro ticket''' priced at 55 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]]. This pass allows for a ride on the [[Shanghai Maglev Train]] and unlimited travel within the metro system for 24 hours. A '''Maglev round trip and metro ticket''' is priced at 85 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]].
===Distance-based fare===
* The base fare is 3 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]] (RMB) for journeys under 6 km, then 1 yuan for each additional 10 km. As of December 2017, the highest fare is 15 yuan (travel between [[Oriental Land Station|Oriental Land]] to [[Dishui Lake Station|Dishui Lake]], the farthest distance at present).<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cphc/12.htm Shanghai metro: Pricing of Metro Tickets].</ref> This fare has not changed since 15 September 2005.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jigong |first1=Hu |title=上海市物价局关于同意调整本市轨道交通客运票价的复函 (Reply letter of Shanghai Municipal Price Bureau on agreeing to adjust the passenger fare of rail transit in this city) |url=http://service.shmetro.com/fuhan/index.htm |website=Shanghai Metro |access-date=6 September 2005}}</ref>

* Shortest route calculated as multiple route available between any entry-exit stations.
* Travel time limit is 4 hour. Additional lowest single journey fare (3 yuan) is required if time limit is exceeded.
* For journeys exclusively from [[Xinzhuang station (Shanghai Metro)|Xinzhuang Station]] to [[People's Square station (Shanghai Metro)|People's Square Station]], the fare is 4 yuan, though the distance between People's Square Station and Xinzhuang Station is about {{convert|17.8|km|abbr=on}}.
Only passengers with unused tickets at the station on the day can refund tickets at the service center. Refunds can also be processed in the event of a train failure for more than 15 minutes, and the apology letter can be downloaded on the official website, WeChat public account and Metropolis app.
====Single-Journey Ticket====
[[File:Shanghai_metro_machine_map.jpg|thumb|Shanghai metro ticketing machine map]]
Single-Journey tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines, and at some stations, at a ticket window. Single-ride tickets are embedded with RFID contactless chips. When entering the system riders tap the ticket against a scanner above the turnstile, and when they exit they insert the ticket into a slot where it is stored and recycled. This ticket does not facilitate transfers at a [[Shanghai Public Transport Card#Virtual transfer|virtual interchange station]]. Passengers would have to purchase a new ticket when reentering the fare gate.<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/index.htm Shanghai Metro: Introduction of Ticket].</ref>
====Shanghai Public Transportation Card====
{{Main|Shanghai Public Transportation Card}}
In addition to a Single-Ride ticket, the fare can be paid using a [[Shanghai public transport card]] (SPTC or Jiaotong Yikatong), which is similar to the [[Octopus card]] of Hong Kong's [[MTR]]. 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. Refunds can be obtained at selected stations.{{efn|Refunds of the Shanghai Public Transportation Card are available between 9:00-19:00 at line 1: {{SHM stations|Jinjiang Park}}, {{SHM stations|Hengshan Road}}, {{SHM stations|Hanzhong Road}} and {{SHM stations|Gongkang Road}}; line 2: {{SHM stations|Songhong Road}}, {{SHM stations|Jiangsu Road}}, {{SHM stations|Century Park}} and {{SHM stations|Haitiansan Road}}; line 3: {{SHM stations|Caoxi Road}}, {{SHM stations|Zhongtan Road}}, {{SHM stations|Dongbaoxing Road}} and {{SHM stations|North Jiangyang Road}}; line 4: {{SHM stations|Yangshupu Road}}.}}<ref>[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cpxz/20.htm Shanghai metro: Introduction of Ticket: Public Transport Card]</ref>
'''Discounts for SPTC holders''':
* Users of the [[Shanghai public transport card]] get a 10% discount for the rest of the calendar month after paying 70 yuan in taking metro, The discount is applied only for journeys after the payment; it is not retroactively applied to previous journeys.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
* Transfers at [[Shanghai Metro#Virtual transfer stations|virtual interchange stations]] the fare will be calculated continuously.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
* Users of the [[Shanghai public transport card]] as part of the "Air-conditioned Bus Transfer Discount" get a 1 yuan discount when transferring to the metro within 120 minutes. (The 10% monthly discount may be applied after the transfer discount) This discount also applies for a bus to Metro and bus to bus transfers and can accumulate over multiple transfers. 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.<ref name="MetroConcessionTerms" />
Public transport cards of other cities and provinces with [[Union Pay]] are accepted, but those do not offer discount and at [[Shanghai Public Transport Card#Virtual transfer|virtual interchange stations]] transfers will be counted as a new ride.<ref name = "MetroConcessionTerms" >[http://service.shmetro.com/en/cphc/14.htm Shanghai Metro: Metro Concession Terms].</ref>
====Mobile payments====
Passengers can also pay their Shanghai Metro fares using a mobile phone app, Daduhui (Metro Metropolis in English) since January 2018. The app requires one to scan a QR code when entering the fare gate at the origin station and again when exiting at the destination station. The fare is then deducted.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-01-17/shanghai-metro-to-accept-mobile-app-payments-101199079.html|title=Shanghai Metro to Accept Mobile-App Payments|date=17 Jan 2018|access-date=26 June 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
The system supports [[Alipay]], [[WeChat Pay]] and [[Union Pay]], three of the most commonly used mobile payment methods in China.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
=== Previous fare schemes ===
* Line 1: On July 1, 1997 introduced a two-level segment fares of 2 yuan (13 stops or less) and 3 yuan (14 stops or more). On March 1, 1999, Shanghai Metro Line 1 opened an automatic ticket collection system, using one-way tickets (magnetic cards) and stored-value tickets (IC cards), and the original paper tickets were discontinued.
* Line 2: To ease the traffic pressure in the tunnel, Line 2 launched a special price of 1 yuan for crossing the river between August 10, 2000 and November 1, 2001, and then the number of passengers increased exponentially.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mingmin |first1=Sun |title=上海地铁二号线月内提速 行车间隔缩短至7.25分钟 (Shanghai Metro Line 2 speeds up and the driving interval is shortened to 7.25 minutes within a month) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2001-09-10/352177.html |date=September 10, 2001}}</ref> Thereafter, the fare of Metro Line 2 is 2 yuan for 0 to 6 kilometers; 3 yuan for 6 to 16 kilometers; more than 16 kilometers, the fare increases by 1 yuan for every additional 6 kilometers.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hui |first1=Zhong |title=上海地铁二号线恢复２元票价后 客流基本持平 (Passenger flow is basically the same after Shanghai Metro Line 2 resumes the 2 yuan fare) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2001-11-22/404733.html |date=November 22, 2001}}</ref> From opening line 2 used magnetic card one-way ticket, and the magnetic card stored-value ticket and the contactless smart card stored-value ticket which can be used on metro lines 1 and 2.<ref>{{cite news |title=上海地铁二号线将于明天中午正式通车 |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/china/2000-06-10/96410.html |agency=sina.com.cn |date=October 6, 2000}}</ref>
* Line 3: during the trial operation, preferential fares were implemented, with 2 yuan for the ride below 9 stops, and 3 yuan for the ride with more than 10 stops.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Zhong |first1=Hui |last2=Zhou |first2=Wei |title=国内首条城市高架铁道上海明珠线即将通车(附图) ( China's first urban elevated railway Shanghai Mingzhu Line is about to open to traffic (with photos)) |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/162049.html |website=sina.com |date=December 25, 2000}}</ref> From November 1, 2003, the fare will be unified with other routes.
* Before September 15, 2005 the shortest rides had a fare of 2 yuan. This was increased by 1 yuan in order to relieve the overcrowded metro network (with a daily ridership of 1.3 million people in 2004). Rides longer than 28 km had their prices either remained the same or dropped by 1 or 2 yuan. These price changes were meant to encourage more people to take the bus, particularly during rush hour as about 30% of rush-hour passengers and 38% of the total passengers use the subways for short trips. However, the metro fare increase seems to have had little effect.
* On October 21, 2005, Shanghai Metro Lines 1 and 2 fully launched the new "One-Ticket Pass" ticket card. On December 25, Shanghai Metro Line 1 realized the "one-ticket transfer" with Lines 2, 3, and 5.
* In November 2005 a discount scheme of 10% after 70 yuan was introduced to benefit long distance passengers.<ref>[http://www.china.org.cn/english/China/142480.htm Shanghai Metro Rises Fares to Get More Bus Riders]. China Daily. September 16, 2005.</ref>
* During the [[Expo 2010]] in Shanghai riding on the expo line (currently [[Line 13 (Shanghai Metro)|line 13]]) was free. A valid Expo ticket was needed to ride the line.
* Until December 26, 2020 there was for journeys exclusively on the 1st phase of [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|line 5]] (Xinzhuang – Minhang Development Zone) a reduced fare is 2 yuan for journeys under 6 km and all other journeys on the line were 3 yuan (though the total length of this section is a bit longer than 16 km), originally implemented to cultivate passenger flow. This was not applied once passengers interchange to other lines, e.g. fare for passengers from Xinzhuang to Chunshen Road was 2 Yuan, while fare for passengers from Waihuanlu to Chunshen Road was 3 Yuan.

==Controversies and incidents==
===Type C cars===
In 1999, [[Shanghai Electric]] and [[Alstom|Alstom Metropolis]] signed an agreement to invest 28 million US dollars to establish Shanghai Alstom Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd., and introduce a rail transit train production line in Minhang, which could assemble 300 trains annually. Shanghai Alstom only had the national license to produce C-type cars from its establishment, no license to produce A-type cars. At that time, the municipal government stipulated that Shanghai would purchase 300 C-cars produced by the new company on lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|6]], and [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|8]] of the future rail transit construction. The two parties reached an agreement on the purchase of 300 cars at that time. For this reason, the Transportation Research Institute had to "reduce" the predicted passenger flow to accommodate the C-type railcars, allowing for a reduction of the station's civil construction scope for the smaller trains. In the construction of lines [[Line 5 (Shanghai Metro)|5]], [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|6]], and [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|8]], the railcars were not supplied by the completion of the tender, but by a signed agreement for the railcars after "internal consultation and coordination" between Shentong Group and Shanghai Alstom, a violation of Articles 3 and 4 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Tendering and Bidding.
The person in charge of the passenger flow forecasting project of [[Line 8 (Shanghai Metro)|line 8]] confirmed that the passenger flow forecast report of line 8 was not completed until 2005 after continuous revision. However, in 2003 an agreement was signed for Line 8 to supply 168 C-type vehicles, i.e., Shentong Group signed an agreement with Shanghai Alstom two years before the release of the forecast report, and decided to use the C-type car. At that time, it was predicted that the forecast passenger flow of line 8 would be about 500,000 passengers per day during the three years from 2007 to 2010. The operator used as initial forecast passenger flow of only 200,000 passengers per day. Line 8 was extremely congested upon opening, even leading to physical conflicts between passengers. In 2010, to deal with the overcrowding the metro hired people to shove commuters into trains.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Daozu |first1=Bao |title=Shanghai metro hires people to shove commuters into trains |url=https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-02/04/content_9425324.htm |agency=China Dily |date=2 April 2010}}</ref>
The estimated passenger flow of [[Line 6 (Shanghai Metro)|line 6]] was more than 105,000. However, the highest passenger flow in the first few days of opening reached 150,000.<ref>[https://web-archive-org.translate.goog/web/20201123020956/http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2008-02-15/151314945835.shtml?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=ajax,se,elem The passenger flow forecast report is pre-designated for small cars.] Xinmin.com 2008-02-15.</ref> With a headway of 13.5 minutes at opening and only four carriages, during peak hours people had to wait 45 minutes to get a ride. The relevant departments did not conduct a comprehensive survey of the residents of this place for the estimated passenger flow, but just followed the old concept that as many vehicles as there are people in the household registration book (excluding migrant population).<ref>{{cite news |title=上海地铁新线采用小车厢遭质疑 |url=https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2008-02-15/151314945834.shtml |agency=sina.com.cn |date=February 15, 2008}}</ref>
===Other controversies===
In June 2012 Shanghai Metro asking women on a micro blog to wear more clothing in public.
