Longyang Road Metro Station is the conjuction between Metro Line No. 2 and Shanghai Maglev Train. It is a good choice to take Shanghai Maglev Train stop at Longyang Road Metro Station and then transit on Metro Line 2 directly to West Shanghai (Called Puxi, just the other side of a large river - Huangpu river).
The Shanghai Maglev project took ¥10 billion (US$1.33bn), it began to construct in March 2001 and took two and a half years to complete. The line is 30km (about 19.0 miles) track and has a further separate track leading to a maintenance facility.
Now, Shanghai government is planning to extend Shanghai Maglev Line to Hangzhou and even Beijing, but the plan is still under review and broad discussion.
