Shanghai metro lines 6, 7, 8 and 9 now on the map

shanghaimetroline7.jpg
Shanghai has unveiled the maps for metro lines 6 through 9. Line 6 is expected to go into operation next year. It will include 28 stops, all in Pudong. For info on the other lines, follow the above link. Of course, that story, entitled "City unveils maps of 4 new Metro lines," fails to include one important thing -- maps. Not even a link. We found the maps here, however, in Chinese.

For detailed looks at the Shanghai metro system, try here and here. There also could be some kind of interesting Google Earth/Shanghai Metro mashup thing available, but Shanghaiist uses an Apple, so no Google Earth for us we were wrong (see comment) and just downloaded it.

Someone should submit a scale map of Shanghai's subway to this site, so we can see how we stack up against the rest of the world's subways.

    this article says that Xujiahui is going to be a hub for many of the new lines. there's a bit of a diagram thing on there.

    What a coincidence. I just wrote a post on Virtual China about "My E-City" 我的E都市 (http://my.edushi.com/), which you've probably covered in the past but which I think is totally cool. Why don't you guys join? It would be great to have some Shanghai tags in English, if that's possible.

    I don't have one with me, so not sure, but aren't all 10 (or is it 11?) lines printed on the back of the single journey subway tickets?

    awesome, but it sucks to think you'll have to walk 20 minutes to change to the new trains! why the hell can't they learn from Hong Kong???

  • Google Earth is available for Mac here.
