Shanghai Keolis says the network now serves 40 stations across the city’s residential areas and universities as well as linking up to the Shanghai metro network.

Once complete, the 31km network is expected to carry around 170,000 passengers per day.

The service is currently operated with 30 Alstom-built Citadis trams which run every 10 minutes between 6.00 am and 11.00 pm.
