Metro lines run late on weekend nights
Print Edition
MOST major Metro lines will extend night services by 60 minutes from their regular schedules on Fridays, Saturdays and the night before national holidays this year.
Metro Lines 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will extend the night service from April 1, Yu Guangyao, president of the Shanghai Shentong Metro Group, said yesterday.
The move comes after Lines 1, 2 and 8 had already extended services on these nights by 30 minutes from December.
From July 1, operating hours on another six lines —Lines 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 13 — will also be extended by 60 minutes on Fridays, Saturdays and the night before national holidays.
And Lines 1, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 13 will cut the intervals between services by the end of the year in a bid to reduce delays.
Trains on Line 1 will run from the terminal at Xinzhuang through to Fujin Road by the end of the year. The line is currently divided into two sections and commuters have to change at the Shanghai Railway Station.
Four more services a day will be added to Line 9 by the end of June to cut the intervals between trains to 2.5 minutes from three. Another four services will also be added to Line 11 to cut waiting times during rush hours to about two minutes, Yu said.
By 2018, trains running on lines across the downtown areas will arrive within every three minutes in peak hours, the transport commission has said.
With another nine new lines being connected, the city’s Metro network will reach 850 kilometers by 2020, from just over 600 km now.
