Shanghai Metro Line 12: Cruise Control
It's that time of year again, when metro systems in China prepare to open new lines. We're expecting two brand new lines to open in Shanghai in late December 2013: Line 12 and Line 16. Today we're previewing Line 12.
Line 12 will eventually pass all the way through the city center, from Pudong to Minhang, but for now the Phase 1 contains 15 stations. Phase 1 starts at Tiantong Road on Line 10, one stop north of East Nanjing Road. It heads west along the North Bund, passing the new International Cruise Terminal, and interchanges with Line 4 at Dalian Road. It then continues east with six more stations in Puxi, before crossing the river and intersecting with Line 6 at Jufeng Road. The final terminus is Jinhai Road in Pudong, which will eventually be a interchange with Line 9.
In around May 2014, the line will also be extended by one line to the west to interchange with Line 8 at Qufu Road.
The full list of stations is:
- Tiantong Road 天潼路
- International Cruise Terminal 国际客运中心
- Tilanqiao 提篮桥
- Dalian Road 大连路
- Jiangpu Park 江浦公园
- Ningguo Road 宁国路
- Longchang Road 隆昌路
