Line 2 is an east-west line of the Shanghai Metro network. With a length of nearly 64 km, it is the second longest line in the metro system after Line 11. Line 2 runs from Template:SHM stations in the west to Template:SHM stations in the east, passing Hongqiao Airport, the Huangpu river, and the Lujiazui Financial District in Pudong. With a daily ridership of almost 1.5 million,[4] it is the Shanghai Metro's busiest metro line. The eastern portion of the line, from Template:SHM stations to Pudong International Airport, was once operated almost independently from the main segment until April 18, 2019 while through service between these two started the next day. The line is colored light green on system maps.

History
The first section of Line 2 was opened in October 28, 1999, from Template:SHM stations to Template:SHM stations. This section, which included 12 stations, totaled 16.3 kilometres (10.1 mi). A year later, Template:SHM stations was added to the eastern part of the line, adding 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi). Four new stations, located west of the Zhongshan Park station, opened in December 2006, extending the line to Template:SHM stations. This section added 6.15 kilometres (3.82 mi) to the line. Four years later, in preparation for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the line was significantly expanded. In February, the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station was rebuilt. In addition, another eastern segment took Line 2 to Template:SHM stations.[5][6][7] A month later, the line was extended westward to Template:SHM stations, adding 8.0 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the line including a stop at Template:SHM stations.[8] On April 8, an eastward extension added 8 stations to the line, totaling 26.6 kilometres (16.5 mi) and taking Line 2 to Template:SHM stations.[9][10] On July 1, Template:SHM stations opens to the public with the opening of the railway station of the same name.
In October 2006, it was decided to rename three stations on Line 2 by the end of the year,[11][12] adopting a new naming scheme: metro stations, unlike bus stops, are no longer supposed to be named after neighbouring vertical streets, but famous streets and sights in the vicinity, making it easier for visitors to find these places. The renamed stations are Century Avenue (formerly Dongfang Road), East Nanjing Road (formerly Middle Henan Road) and West Nanjing Road (formerly Shimen No. 1 Road).
