Songjiang Tram

Songjiang Tram (also Songjiang Tramway) is a light rail tramway in Shanghai, China. The system consists of two lines (T1 and T2) totaling with 42 stations. 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%.

The tram system is operated with 30 light rail vehicles (LRVs), while other 4 lines in development of line directions. Estimated ridership for the line is 170,000 passengers per day.

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.

Future expansion

Under construction

The west extension of the T2 line started construction on 19 February 2021 关于上海市松江区有轨电车T2西延、T4、T5项目进展意见
/ref> 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.

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

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