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 the route follows independent rights of way. Intersections with other road users give priority to trams allowing for running speeds of 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 to increase from the current 23% to 40%.[3]
The tram system is operated by 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]
