Background: Launched in 1995, the (officially known as the ) has evolved into one of the fastest growing systems in the world.

Key players: The Shanghai Shentong Metro Company Limited is the developer and operator of the network. It operates the entire network through four sub-divisions – Shanghai No. 1 Metro Operation Company Limited (Lines 1, 5, 9 and 10), Shanghai No. 2 Metro Operation Company Limited (Lines 2 and 11), Shanghai No. 3 Metro Operation Company Limited (Lines 3, 4 and 7) and Shanghai No. 4 Metro Operation Company Limited (Lines 6 and 8).

Current network*: The system comprises 11 lines, which span 420 km and cover 275 stations. Table 2.1.2.6.1 provides the network details.

Fare system: Single-ride tickets and a contactless smart card, called the Shanghai Public Transportation Card (SPTC), are used for fare collection. Both are embedded with radio frequency identification (RFID) chips. While the tickets are available at vending machines at metro stations, the SPTC can be purchased and loaded at select banks, convenience stores and metro stations. The SPTC is also accepted on other transport modes such as buses and taxis.
