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 them use independent rights of way. The intersection signal lights were adjusted through the system to make them pass first, and the running speed reaches 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 from the current 23% to 40%.[3]

The tram system is operated with 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]

Pricing schedule[edit]

The fee is 2 yuan within 10 kilometers (inclusive); for the part above 10 kilometers, every 10 kilometers (inclusive) is a pricing section, and each section is charged at 1 yuan. 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]

Future expansion[edit]

Under construction[edit]

The west extension of the T2 line started construction on 19 February 2021[16] runs from Sanxin North Road to Xiangkun Road, with a total of 9 stations, with a total length of about 7.4 kilometers. The line runs along Xinsongjiang Road, Wensong Road, Dingsheng Road, and Wenxiang Road from east to west, with a total of Sanxin North Road Station, Chenta Road Station, Dingyuan Road Station, Dingsong Road Station, Dingwen Road Station, and Dingsheng Road. 9 stations including Lu Station, Hexi Street Station, Kunde Road Station and Xiangkun Road Station.

In order to meet the needs of line parking and operation management, it is proposed to set up a Xiaokunshan parking lot, located at the starting point of the western section of the second phase of the project, at the northwest corner of the Xiangkun intersection of Wenxiang Road, with a total land area of approximately 0.97 hectares. At the same time, in order to ensure the operation needs of the west extension of the T2 line, a total of 5 substations have been set up across the line, of which one civil substation is combined with a parking lot, and the other 4 are box-type substations.

Future plans[edit]

Eventually the plans call for 7 tram lines with a total length of about 150km.
