Shanghai Metro 上海地铁

[raymond_tung88]

Just wondering but is the extension of the No. 2 Subway Line in Shanghai completed? Last time I heard, they were constructing an extension west to Hongqiao Airport.

[napkcirtap]

financial problems slowed the extension.
the no 2 line(regional line r2) is designed to eventually link the two airports in shanghai.
it is the main east-west subway line.
below r the different phases of the construction of line 2
phase 1 (finished): from zhongshan park to longyangroad. all underground
phase 2 (finished): a one stop extension east to zhangjiang hi-tech park. elevated
phase 3 (due complete by 2006) : a 4 stop extension westwards to hongqiao airport.
phase 4 (open in 2007): to chuansha and pudong int'l airport(pvg). mostly above ground

I want to use this thread to collect all the maps of the Shanghai metro system (current, old, planned lines, future maps etc.) that exists on the internet to date. Just to get an idea of how the future system actually will look.
It seems like no one really knows this!

These are the ones that I have found:

From the official website (www.shtmetro.com) - obviously outdated:



From www.urbanrail.net - seems to be up to date with the extensions of the Lines 2 and 3, and the station name changes on Line 2:



A future map that shows 4 new lines. Could those be the lines that are currently nearly finished but not yet in operation?



A future map that shows metro lines (2006-2012):



A future map that seems to show all the transit lines in Shanghai municipality:



Another future map that shows tons of lines:



Another map that is chopped off at the edges, plus the lines have totally different colours than what we'e used to. Kinda nice style to it though. :



Future map showing 9 lines:



Old map where even the ring line is marked as "planned":



More future maps:






Come on people! I want more!
I'm especially interested in what can be found on Chinese websites, which are hard for me to browse due to my little knowledge in the written Chinese language.

Old maps downloaded from metropla.net a long time ago, 2002 or so.

Open lines


2004


Beyond 2004


I can't remember where did I find this. Maybe in a link posted at metropla.net


This one has been posted in several forums


Bonus: Maglev extension

[staff]

Thanks for the contribution, z0rg.

[staff]

I'm sure there must be more Shanghai metro maps out there somewhere!

Come on, people!

[YelloPerilo]

Hongqiao will become a super-hub with three metro lines, the maglev, the airport and the long distance rail.

[staff]

Can anyone spot any differences between the above map and this one (except for line colour differnces)?

[z0rg]

Never saw this before

They just posted it in ss.cn, but posted no info besides of the no. of lines: 22.
You can notice the maglev extension for first time as well as two new lines and one extension (in grey).

[greenlay]

I 'm afraid most shanghai future metro maps above are out of date,because they are always changing as the constructions going on.And actually,shanghai
's planned metro lines are much much more than we expected.



metro lines and meglev line in the Expo area:


Hongqiao area:


Minghang district(red line:metro; blue line:maglev)


Qingpu New Town(green line)


Fengxian district(red line)

OH I think it's by now the most correct one

[greenlay]

But one or several years later,when shanghai launch some more "New Town" or new large project(like Hongqiao and Lingang,they didnt exist on planning map in 2000,so are the metro lines around them),who knows whether it's outdated?
In China,how a city will look like dosen't depend on urben planner but the party boss,so after Chen Liangyu,many planning maps and to-be-built projects have been changed to be a "?".

Sorry, where is the thread dedicated to Shanghai metro discussion on this forum?

Metro line work on schedule

2008-7-16

WORK is now under way on all 116 stations of the eight Metro lines and extensions due for completion before the 2010 World Expo.

Shanghai Shentong Metro Group Co said yesterday that by the end of June they had completed the major structures of 60 of the new stations.

They also announced that machines had finished digging 57 percent of the total mileage of the new tunnel lines.

Train tracks have also started being laid inside the tunnels on several parts of the new lines, said the company.

Work is ongoing on Metro Line 7, Line 10, the second phase of Line 8, the second phase of Line 9, the northern section of Line 11, the east extension of Line 2, the north extension of Line 7 as well as the World Expo section on Line 13.

All eight lines are due to open for trial operations before the 2010 World Expo. With completion of the new Metro services, Shanghai will have a total Metro network of 400 kilometers, from the 234 kilometers currently in service.

The group said they would likely extend Line 8 to the south part of the city after completing the second phase.
