METRO lines serving Shanghai’s three railway stations will add services before and after their regular schedules for the Spring Festival rush, when millions are on the move.

The 40-day rush begins today and the Metro network expects to see an average 8.16 million trips a day during that period.

Metro will add trains on lines 1 and 3 serving Shanghai Railway Station and Shanghai South Railway Station and on Line 2, serving Hongqiao Railway Station, according to demand, to reduce congestion and delays.
