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]

Technology[edit]

Signalling[edit]

The entire operation of the new line is remotely controlled from a central dispatch room. Trains operate using the Cityflo 650 communications-based train control (CBTC) from CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems Limited, a joint venture between Bombardier and CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Co., Ltd. The automatic trains had initially six staff members working at each APM station, but the operator hopes to reduce that to one or two.^[14]

Rolling Stock[edit]

Pujiang line uses rubber-tyred Bombardier Innovia APM 300 trains. The trains have 4 cars each, totaling 51 metres (167 ft) in length, with capacity for 566 passengers per train.^[2] There are large windows at each end of the train allowing passengers to look out the front and rear. The small trains with rubber tires running on concrete tracks allow for turning radii as tight as 22 m (72 ft) to be negotiated, compared to over 300 m (984 ft) for typical metro on steel rails.^[14] On 13 January 2017, Bombardier delivered the first out of 44 autonomous people movers to Shanghai.^[1]
