SHANGHAI`S Metro is to undergo a major extension over the next two years, with two new lines built and three extensions added to existing routes. This will increase the local subway network to 500 kilometers of track by 2012.
At present, Shanghai has 11 lines of 420km of track - the longest in the world - carrying 1.9 billion passengers a year. The construction of Metro Lines 12, 13, one extension of Line 9 and two extensions to Line 11 will get under way soon, improving links between downtown traffic hubs and outlying districts.
