The Shanghai Metro (Chinese: 上海地铁; pinyin: Shànghǎi Dìtiě; Shanghainese: Zaon6he5 Di6thiq7) is a rapid transit system in Shanghai, operating urban and suburban transit services to 14 of its 16 municipal districts[d] and to the neighboring township of Huaqiao, in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province.
Forming the vast majority of the broader, multi-operator Shanghai rail transit network, the Shanghai Metro system is the world's second longest metro system by route length, totaling 826 kilometres (513 mi).[5][c] and the second largest system by number of stations, with 508 stations across 20 lines.[a][b] It also ranks first in the world by annual ridership, with 3.88 billion rides delivered in 2019.[1] The last daily ridership record was set on March 8, 2019, at 13.29 million rides.[2] Post-pandemic, ridership still routinely stands at over 10 million on an average workday, accounting for 73% of trips on public transport in the city.[6][7]
