Tram line T2 began operations in Songjiang District at 9am on Wednesday, attracting curious residents keen to experience the new mode of transport on its first day. Despite the drizzle, many people were lined up at Songjiang University Town Station to take their first trip. Yu Yuexian took her 5-year-old grandson to the station. She told Shanghai Daily that she had missed the trial run several days ago and the little boy was “so looking forward” to finally taking a ride.
