Rapid & Express Services

Rapid services

Line 16 is the only line in the Shanghai Metro planned to feature different stopping services, with a rapid service stopping only at Longyang Road, Luoshan Road, Xinchang, Huinan, and Dishui Lake stations.[5] Between 30 January 2014 and 21 March 2016, due to insufficient rolling stock and overcrowding of the line, all rapid services were suspended.[6][7] To further increase capacity, the existing 3-car train sets were to be expanded to full 6-car sets[8] and the rush hour headway was reduced to a minimum of 4 minutes and operated with a mixture of 3-car and 6-car trains.[9] Since 1 October 2018, rapid service trains also stop at Lingang Avenue station at weekends and public holidays.[10] Since 16 November 2018, rapid trains of weekdays stop at Lingang Avenue station.[11]

Express services

Express train service started on 18 June 2020. It starts from Longyang Road Station, and it only stops at its terminal, Dishui Lake Station.[12]
