Overview
Line 6 opened on December 29, 2007. The trains, with 4 carriages each, are manufactured by Shanghai Electric and Alstom. Like the Lexington Avenue Subway in New York City, passenger traffic has consistently exceeded the designed capacity of the line since its opening and causes severe strain to the services. The line was built to accommodate light metro narrow-bodied "C size" trains, which is not interchangeable with wide-body "A size" trains on other Shanghai Metro lines. This has made it less practical to upgrade the facilities to meet demands.
Line 6 was forecasted to carry 105,000 people/day. However within the first few days of operation the line has exceeded 150,000 people/day.[2] Realizing the sheer miscalculation during construction, the municipal government have pledged to add new trains and shorten wait times starting in June 2008. However, Line 6 still suffers severe crowding and delays especially during rush hours.[3] The busiest section of the line is running at 133% capacity.[4] With the opening of Line 12 the Shanghai Metro advises passengers divert to the new line to relieve crowding.[5]
