There are more than 12 metro lines in shanghai,whose number and density may be inferrior to those in such cities like New York and Tokyo. However,shanghai has the most developed metro lines network compared to other cities in China. We can go to nearly every important CBD and transportation center through metro lines and most people choose to take the underground to the offices in shanghai.
The biggest advantage of metros is the timetable can be accurately controled especially in the morning or evening when the traffic become terrable on the road.
The first metro line one opened to the public more than 15 years ago in shanghai. It started at the North railway station and ended at Jingjiang Park,only around 10 stops at all. The gov prolonged some important metro lines and extended those line`s stops up to 15 or 16 at last.
Currently, the network of metro lines in shanghai has covered most area of shanghai city,from urban and rural area. It is reported that the metro line 9 will be extended to Chongming Island through Changjiang Bridge-Tunnel.
