Metro station luggage lockers set for trial run
Print Edition
The trial operation for luggage lockers installed at Metro stations in Shanghai will kick off tomorrow and will run through the end of August. The trial services are available at 24 spots at 12 stations.
All the lockers are self-service units with bilingual instructions. During the trial, the lockers are free of charge but they can be used for 8 hours maximum within one day, according to the Metro authority.
The 12 stations are all near transportation hubs, famous tourism sites and commercial centers. For passengers’ convenience, the 332 lockers come in three sizes, catering to different needs from storing a backpack to a large suitcase.
For using the service, passengers should pay a 20-yuan (US$2.76) deposit, which will be returned after the luggage is taken. For items being stored for more than 8 hours or trans-day, staff will contact the passengers.
Passengers can use their WeChat or Alipay apps to complete the entire DIY service and the Shanghai Metro’s official app will also soon offer information.
For expatriates, the instructions are detailed and in clear English.
The service will officially begin in September, when the per hour fee for a small locker will be 2 yuan, medium locker 4 yuan and big locker 5 yuan. The maximum cost every 24 hours will be 12 yuan for a small locker, 24 yuan for a medium locker and 30 yuan for a big locker.
