History

The line 11 was originally planned to be from Jiading to Nanhui New City, with a total length of 120 kilometres (75 mi), the south part of the line has been transferred to line 16.

The 1st phase of line 11, which runs from North Jiading to Jiangsu Road, opened on 31 December 2009.^[2][3] A branch line from Anting opened on 29 March 2010.^[4]

The 2nd phase runs from Jiangsu Road to Luoshan Road. It opened on 31 August 2013.^[5]

The 3rd phase connects Luoshan Road and the Disney Resort. This section is 9.4 kilometres (5.8 mi) long with 3 stations. All new stations except for the Disney Resort station opened on December 19, 2015.^[6] The Disney Resort started to trial operation on April 26, 2016.^[7]

From January 26, 2020 until March 24,^[8] the Kunshan section of line 11 (Anting to Huaqiao) was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[9]

On August 25, 2020, an infill station Chenxiang Highway was opened.^[10]

On February 14, 2022, the Kunshan section of line 11 was again suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[11] It was reopened on the 4th of July, 2022. ^[12]

Controversy

Due to the long length of line 11 and high passenger volumes, it is common for line 11 passengers to be forced to stand on the train for their entire trip. In response to this, around early 2014, some passengers that travelled long distances between urban area and the suburban areas of Jiading or Sanlin that cannot bear standing for a long time started bringing their own small folding seats into the carriages. In the following years, the official Weibo of Shanghai Metro reminded passengers involved phenomenon to be safe and civilized as Shanghai Metro maintains that these foldable seats can be a safety hazard on trains and reduces capacity. Beginning in 2019, line 11 started having announcements in carriages to remind passengers to not bring and use their own seats on the train.^[14][15]

Passengers going to Huaqiao at Disney Resort Station, Kangxin Highway Station and Xiuyan Road Station during rush hour have to transfer at Jiading Xincheng Station. Virtual transfer with line 14 – passengers who hold the Shanghai Public Transportation Card and transfer within 30 minutes of exiting the station are able to transfer to other lines without exiting the system. The platform in the direction of Disney Resort is on the B2 floor, and the platform in the direction of North Jiading and Huaqiao is on the B3 floor. It was originally planned that line 14 would transfer at this station on the same station as this line. Later, because line 14 adopted the Wuning Road plan, the reserved platform was abandoned. Therefore, the actual use of this station is a side stacking platform.

Future expansions

Kangheng Road station

Although Kangheng Road station is part of the second phase of Line 11, it did not open with the other stations on August 31, 2013.^[26] Instead, it has been left as a reserved station under construction that will open in the future pending development in the area.^[27][28] It opened on 28 September 2024.^[29]

Station name change

• On May 7, 2011, Jiyang Road was renamed Oriental Sports Center (before line 11 began serving the station).
