Shanghai Metro - Future Expansion

Future Expansion

The Shanghai Metro system is one of the fastest growing metro systems in the world. Many lines are under construction or planned to be constructed in the near future. After the completion of these lines, a uniform numbering system will be put in place. According to the latest report, by the end of 2020 the network will comprise 22 lines spanning 877 kilometres (545 mi).

Recently, the planned lines 20 and 21 have been renumbered as 17 and 16 respectively, while the numbering for the original lines 16 and 17 have not been confirmed. In this table, the numbering of the original lines 16/21 and 17/20 are swapped for ease of reference.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:

    “Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
    —W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
