THE interval between trains on Metro Line 6 will be reduced to three-and-half minutes later this year, Xinhua News Agency reported today.
New carriages will be delivered in June and the city's subway operator will put them into use upon completion of safety tests.
The interval is presently more than six minutes on Line 6. About 50 percent of all passengers use the line during morning and evening rush hours, which causes overcrowding.
In addition, Line 7, the second phase of lines 8 and 9 and phase one of Line 11 are expected to open by the end of the year.
Shanghai's subway network will stretch about 340 kilometers when these open.
