Passenger flow per stop on the Shanghai Metro.

December 3, 2009 7:23 AM

The Shanghai Metro System: I am looking for detailed passenger flow per stop/station.

The automatic turnstyle system must collect the data showing how many passengers leave and enter at every Shanghai metro stop. I wonder is it publically available. In Chinese is fine.

Best answer: You might want to check out the research available at the Transportation Cooperative Research Program, I also did a quick search of the Transportation Research Board site and found a paper on pedestrian flow in the Shanghai Metro. There is also the Mineta Institute at San Jose State.

And, the Transit lobbying organization, APTA, has very good resources.

The best place to check would be Shanghai Metro's website. I don't read Mandarin, unfortunately, and all my attempts to find the information were unsuccessful, but if the figures are public, that's where they would most likely be.
