Driverless Metro Line 15 to make debut tomorrow

By Chen Huizhi | 00:05 UTC+8 January 22, 2021 | Print Edition

The brand-new driverless Metro Line 15 will make its debut tomorrow, Metro officials announced yesterday.

The underground line runs from Gucun Park in the north to Zizhu High-Tech Park in the south and cuts through Baoshan, Putuo, Changning, Xuhui and Minhang districts.

There are 29 stations along the 43-kilometer line.

Passengers taking Line 15 can transfer to lines 1 and 3 at Shanghai South Railway Station, Line 12 at Guilin Park Station, Line 13 at Daduhe Road Station, Line 11 at Shanghai West Railway Station, Line 7 at Gucun Park Station and Line 2 at Loushanguan Road Station.

Currently, passengers interchanging between lines 15 and 2 at Loushanguan Road Station must walk from station to station, because work on the underground passage hasn’t been completed. Those who pay with public transportation cards or through the official Metro app avoid additional fees when transferring.

The Guilin Road Station on Line 15 won’t open until June, so trains will skip this station now. When it opens, passengers will be able to interchange between lines 15 and 9.

Some station exits are still under construction and won’t be open tomorrow, including exits 3 and 4 at the East China University of Science and Technology Station and exits 4 and 5 at Changfeng Park Station.

The first trains at Zizhu High-Tech Park and Gucun Park depart at 5:30am, and the last trains leave at 10:30pm.
