IT`S all aboard the Disneyland express, after the city announced that a special Metro line will take visitors to the theme park when it opens in 2015.
Work on the dedicated Metro line, which is expected to cost 3.992 billion yuan (US$606.3 million), is set to begin in September. Trains will start running in July 2015. The line will connect to Metro Line 11 at Luoshan Road Station, providing passengers from downtown Xujiahui area and suburban Jiading District with subway access to the much-anticipated park in Pudong.
Its final stop - Disneyland station itself - will connect with the Metro Line 2 via shuttle bus lines. The Disneyland metro line has three new stations: the elevated Kangqiao Road E. station, Hengxin Road station, and Disneyland station, which will be underground. The route will pass Zhoukang area before reaching Chuansha town.
