2010 Shanghai World Expo

Subway for Expo visitors tests train

Beginning Danshui Station and end of the Changqing Station!!

The subway that will go through the Shanghai World Expo site moved a step closer  when it tested a train for the first time on Jan.10th 2010. The Expo section of Metro Line 13 will link the two Expo zones in Puxi and Pudong, and have three stations.

Expo ticket holders can take the trains free after security checks at Line 13′s Madang Road station where it connects with Metro Line 9 in Puxi. The link to the Expo site is likely to make Line 13 one of the busiest subways during the event. Traffic authorities estimate that about 30 percent of visitors will use the service.

Two trains will operate on the line, with another two on standby by the time the Expo begins in May.
