Future Shanghai Subway
The present eight subway lines will be extended in the future. Additionally many new lines are programmed or under construction. By the end of the year 2009, Subway Line 7 (Part 1), running between Jinqiu Rd. Station in Baoshan District and Fangdian Rd. Station in Pudong New Area, will be in operation. The line will be very helpful for passengers traveling to the venue of the World Expo 2010, which is near the Fadian Rd. Station in Pudong.

In 2010, Subway Line 10 (Part 1) will be in operation. It will run between New Jiangwan City Station in Yangpu District and Hongqiao Airport in the west of Shanghai. The north part of Subway Line 11 (Part 1) from Jiading North Station in Jiading District and Jiangsu Rd. Station in Changning District will be completed before the World Expo.

In that way, Shanghai will have 11 subway lines in 2010, totaling about 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) and making up over 35% of the city's mass transit system.
