Route map

The Pujiang line of Shanghai Metro (simplified Chinese: 上海轨道交通浦江线; traditional Chinese: 上海軌道交通浦江線; pinyin: Shànghǎi Guǐdào Jiāotōng Pǔjiāng Xiàn) is an automated, driverless, rubber-tired Shanghai Metro line in the town of Pujiang in the Shanghainese district of Minhang. It was originally conceived as phase 3 of Shanghai Metro line 8, but afterwards was constructed as a separate line, connecting with line 8 at its southern terminus, Shendu Highway.[4] The line opened for passenger trial operations on March 31, 2018.[5][6][7] It is the first automated, driverless people mover line in the Shanghai Metro, and has 6 stations with a total length of 6.689 kilometres (4.156 mi).[4][6] The people mover was expected to carry 73,000 passengers a day.[8] The line is colored grey on system maps.

The line is operated by Shanghai Keolis Public Transport Operation & Management Co. Ltd. (Chinese: 上海申凯公共交通运营管理有限公司), a joint venture owned by Keolis and Shanghai Shentong Metro Group for at least five years after opening.[9][10]
