Songjiang Tram (also Songjiang Tramway) is a light rail tramway in Shanghai, China. The system consists of two lines (T1 and T2) totaling 31 km (19 mi) with 42 stations. [2] Unlike the Zhangjiang Tram, Songjiang trams use centenary power supply and steel-wheeled rail systems. Most of the route follows independent rights of way. Intersections with other road users give priority to trams allowing for running speeds of 25-30km/h. Trains run from 6:00 till 22:00. With further extension of the network public transport modal split in Songjiang is expected to increase from the current 23% to 40%. [3]
The tram system is operated by 30 light rail vehicles (LRVs), [4] while other 4 lines in development of line directions. Estimated ridership for the line is 170,000 passengers per day. [2] [5]
A joint venture between Shanghai Shentong Metro Group and Keolis’ Chinese joint venture, Shanghai Keolis, with Shanghai Shentong Metro Group holding 51%, has been awarded a five-year contract to operate and maintain the line. [2]
The fee is 2 yuan within 10 kilometers (inclusive) with an extra 1 yuan charge for each additional 10 kilometers. Children under 1.3m in height travel for free (accompanied by an adult).
Each station of Songjiang Tram is equipped with an automatic ticket vending machine. Shanghai Public Transport Card (physical card and mobile phone transportation card) can enjoy preferential transfers. The transfer discount policy for Shanghai public transport service is applicable, where when transferring to bus, subways or trams within 2 hours, the price is reduced by 1 yuan.
Since June 30, 2023, beside Shanghai Public Transportation Card, QR codes (WeChat, Alipay, etc.) and Transportation Union Cards from other regions are also supported in Songjiang Tram. [6]
