From Kunshan City in Jiangsu Province to Shanghai
2013-10-16 10:58:39 CRIENGLISH.com Web Editor: Wang Wei
The first subway running from Shanghai to Kunshan City, east China's Jiangsu province, started its trial operation this morning.
The subway is actually an extension stage of Shanghai Metro Line 11, which combined 3 subway stations in Kunshan to the original metro line.
After it begins operation, it will only take about 70 minutes to travel from Huaqiao Station in Kunshan to Xujiahui Station in downtown Shanghai, which only costs 7 yuan.
The subway will make the journey between the cities easier for residents.
It is known that transit cards in Shanghai can be used in the 3 stations in Kunshan, while transit cards in Kunshan can be used on Shanghai subways.
