The extended Metro Line 2, bridging the city’s two airports, will be running before the World Expo opens in May next year.
With the extensions completed the Metro line 2 will be 64 kilometers in long. The western extension links Hongqiao Airport to the line’s current west terminus at Songhong Road station. The east-bound extension has about 29 kilometers from Longyang Road station to Pudong International Airport.
But commuters to Pudong airport must transfer to a smaller four-carriage train, at Guanglan Road station on the eastern extension. The smaller train is because fewer passengers are expected to travel to Pudong airport. Current train is either 6 or 8 carriage train running between Songhong Road station and Zhangjiang High-tech Park station.
Starting from next May, Metro line 2 will be one more choice for passengers travelling directly from Pudong airport to Hongqiao airport. Currently, passengers only could take shuttle bus or taxi to directly linking two airports.
So stay tuned.
