Shanghai Metro

The Shanghia Metro in 2014 became the world's Largest Metro. And it is far from being finished. There are 14 Lines. Most are powered via overhead catenary, except for Line 16 which uses third Rail. Oddly Line 16 is also the fastest metro, although it is more of light metro linking far suburbs to the edge of the city.
Unfortunately for rail photography moste every station now has platform doors. The newer lines have full height doors, the older section hace half-height.
The metro is fast and efficient with very good headways on most lines. There is a security check before entering any station platform area. The older station this is a bit cramped. Security personel are posted and any large bags must go through a scanner, which is much faster then any airport scanner. The metro was very safe to travel, and noboydt seemed to bother me with my camera.

The following are the line and terminals as of April 2014. Following this table are the list of stations featured on this website.
