1200-440: The elevated sections and the section of line 2 from Songhong Road to 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. During construction of the early lines conditions were reserved for the installation of platform screen doors but not installed, due to cost considerations and no domestic companies making them at

1250-545: The first underground railway line, later Line 1 , was determined. Formal central government-level approval of both the construction of Line 1 and a long-term system-wide plan for the Shanghai Metro came in 1986. In that year, the State Council approved the Master City Plan of Shanghai (1983–2000), the first-ever such approval by the State Council in the history of Shanghai. Part of that Master Plan included

1300-564: The first year, it handled an average of 600,000 passengers daily. The first phase of line 2 was inaugurated in June 2000, which in 2010 linked Hongqiao International Airport ( SHA ) and Pudong International Airport ( PVG ). The 25 km Pearl line (line 3) opened for revenue service in 2001. Line 5 opened in 2003. Line 4 joined the network in January 2006 and became a circular line in 2007.

1350-680: The industrial zone in Pengpu , the worker's residential area in Zhangmiao, and the town of Wusong . It is ostensibly in this same period that, in 1965, another experimental project on underground tunnel and station construction was underway in a segment between Hengshan Park and Xiangyang Park, both in Xuhui . However, construction halted during the immediately subsequent Cultural Revolution period, and no systematic plan to build an underground railway system materialized. The economic reforms of 1980s and

1400-637: 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. Since 1993, the ridership of the entire network has grown as the new lines or sections come into operation. In 1995, the first year of operation, line 1 carried 62 million passengers (average daily passenger volume of 223,000). Ridership increased between 2011 and 2016 with 10% per annum, between 2017 and 2019 with 5%. The reduction in ridership in 2020

1450-536: The late 50s and early 60s, before the impact of the Cultural Revolution . The system saw its most rapid expansion during the years leading up to the 2010 World Expo , namely, between 2003 and 2010. Between 2007 and 2010, it was customary for new lines and extensions to open on an annual basis. The system is still expanding, with the most recent expansions opening in early 2024, and several new lines and extensions under construction. The first proposal of

1500-452: The length of the Metro to 400 kilometers by the time it opened in 2010. 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. In 2009 Shanghai announced it would have 21 lines operating by 2020 with lines extending further into the suburban areas. At the end of 2021 (expected), most of

1550-551: The line, must change trains. Line 16 , unlike the rest of the system, is built with passing loops and operates express and rapid services. The service was postponed on January 30, 2014, due to lack of available trains, but resumed on March 21, 2016. Shanghai Metro Line 1 Line 1 is a north–south line of the Shanghai Metro .

Further consultations and public surveys on transit needs were held in 1959 by

2450-769: Was still considered a state-of-art approach to automatic train operation . The signalling system was designed by CASCO, a signalling manufacturer owned jointly by China Railway Signal & Communication Group Corporation (CRSC) and General Railway Signal (GRS), and was largely based on the system designed by GRS for the Washington Metro . Coded audio-frequency (AF) track circuits are used for both train detection and transmission of speed commands, as well as limited train-to-wayside communication (TWC) for automatic train supervision (ATS). Train operation between stations and station stop can be automatic, while doors are controlled manually by train operators. From 2013 to 2019,

2500-516: Was the first station to have installed platform screen doors. To help cope with passenger handling, platform safety doors were built for line 4 onwards and a program for retrofitting older lines was put in place. The retrofitting on existing lines started in November 2005 with line 1 (first station was Xujiahui ) whose core stations had doors by the end of 2006. Originally, platform screen doors were adopted to prevent cool or hot air from leaving
