Line 22, also known as Jinshan Railway Line, is a metro line under construction in Shanghai. It runs from Shanghai South Railway Station in Xuhui District via Xinzhuang in Minhang District to Jinshan New Town in Jinshan District, crossing Huangpu River on a dedicated railway bridge. Passengers will be able to transfer to Lines 1, 3 and 5. The line is set to open in late 2011 with 9 stops.[1]
It is the first line to provide "high speed" metro services, with trains travelling up to 160 km/h, compared to 30–70 km/h for regular metro service,[2] shortening the 56.4 km between Jinshan and downtown to about 30 minutes travel time.
