What’s New
Version 19.7.3
In September 2024 the Shanghai Metro announced a number of station renamings. Some of these include stations which have been unchanged for decades, so let’s find out why!
First up, East Xujing (徐泾东) which opened in 2010 on Line 2, as well as Zhuguang Road (诸光路) which opened in in 2017 on Line 17, have both been renamed to National Exhibition and Convention Center (国家会展中心站). This is in preparation for it becoming a full interchange station once the extension to Line 13 also opens here in future.
Similarly, Dongchang Road (东昌路), which opened in 1999 on Line 2, has been renamed to South Pudong Road (浦东南路), to match the existing name of the station on Line 14 which opened in 2021.
In 2005, a station called Pudian Road (浦电路) opened on Line 4 and in 2007, another station called Pudian Road opened on Line 6, however confusingly there was never an interchange between the two. After 17 years this anomaly has been fixed, with the Line 4 station now renamed to Xiangcheng Road (向城路).
As there are plans for a new station at the new Pudong Airport Terminal 3, the existing Pudong International Airport (浦东国际机场) stations on the Maglev and Line 2, which opened in 2002 and 2010 respectively, have been renamed to Pudong Airport Terminal 1&2 (浦东1号2号航站楼).
Yuanshen Stadium on Line 6 has been renamed to Yuanshen Sports Center to better match the Chinese name of 源深体育中心.
Songjiang South Railway Station (松江南站) which opened in 2012 on Line 9 has been renamed to Shanghai Songjiang Railway Station (上海松江站) to match the name of the attached railway station which was renamed in May 2024.
Finally West Huajing (华泾西) which opened in 2021 on Line 15 has been renamed to Jinghong Road (景洪路), matching the name of a future station on the Airport Link Line which it will interchange with.
Ratings and Reviews
Easy to use
Good app, could be better if the maps in other countries were all in one app, so I can download less
Good app.
I just need to say 1 thing.
Not worth it
Offline map only applies to e metro map. Could get that map free. Not worth the $2.99
