Timetables changed to cut waiting on subway

WAITING times at selected sections on Metro lines 3, 4, 11 and 16 will be shortened in a bid to reduce congestion during peak periods, the subway operator said yesterday.

On Line 3 during the morning rush hour — defined by the operator as “about 7am to 9am” — the interval between trains running from South Changjiang Road to Shanghai South Railway Station will be cut by half to about 2 1/2 minutes.

On the “internal route” of Line 4 during the morning rush hour, the waiting time between trains running from Yishan Road to either Shanghai Railway Station or Century Avenue will also be halved to 2 1/2 minutes.

On Line 16, the changes will take effect on Monday.

During the morning rush hour, the interval between trains running from Dishui Lake to East Huinan will be cut to 7 minutes, and to 4 minutes for those running from East Huinan to Longyang Road.

During the evening rush hour — defined by the operator as “about 5pm to 7pm” — the intervals for all trains will be cut to 5 1/2 minutes.

The first trains of the day will depart Huinan and Xinchang stations at 6am.

The changes to the schedule on Line 11 will come into effect on Tuesday.

The waiting time for trains running between Sanlin and Nanxiang during the morning rush hour will be cut to 2 1/2 minutes and to 4 minutes for trains running from Nanxiang to Jiading Xincheng. The interval on the rest of the line will be 7 1/2 minutes.
