People's Square (Shanghai Metro)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People's Square (Chinese: 人民广场; pinyin: Rénmín Guǎngchǎng) is the name of a large interchange station of the Shanghai Metro, located below People's Square in the city center of Shanghai.

The station is part of Line 1 and Line 2, making it the only interchange station between these two lines. This station is exceptionally busy because of a unique combination of being surrounded by office buildings, shopping centers and several touristic attractions. This combination causes it to be extremely busy during peak times, but it remains very busy during the rest of the day as well. To regulate the masses a second tunnel between the platforms has been built so that passenger traffic is now one-way.

In the future a third platform will be opened here for Line 8. It remains to be seen how this will affect traffic flows at the station.
