Print Edition
THE 18th Children Baby Maternity Expo of China runs from today until Friday, and the event is expected to pressure on the city’s Metro system.
Some 270,000 people are expected to visit the expo, held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, according to organizers.
The East Xujing, Hongqiao Railway Station, and Zhuguang Road Metro stations may see larger than usual passenger traffic, Shanghai Shentong Metro Groups said.
During the expo, Line 2 will put extra trains into operation. A temporary bus line will run between the north plaza of the expo venue and Hongqiao public transport hub near Terminal 2 of Hongqiao airport.
The bus service will operate from 3pm to 7pm today and tomorrow, and from 10am to 5pm on Friday. The departure interval is 15 minutes.
At East Xujing, some station exits will only be open for entering or leaving alone, and operators will have more staff to guide passengers.
Metro operators also mentioned that as the expo takes place on work days, the passenger volume of Line 2 might be quite large. They suggest those who are going to the expo from the city take Line 10 and change to Line 2 at Hongqiao Railway Station.
