Biggest metro in China The metro system includes 11 metro lines, 278 stations and more than 434 km of tracks. Shanghai Metro is the biggest metro in China and the third biggest in the world. With an annual passenger volume of 1,884 billion, the Shanghai Metro System is extremely busy during peak hours and remains busy during the rest of the day as it is located near important tourist destinations. The system continues to grow, with new lines and extensions currently under construction. In such crowded places, ensuring people’s safety was a challenge as evacuation of such a large number of passengers in case of a fire is very difficult. It was a prerequisite for the metro to be equipped with a reliable fire protection system that will make evacuation of the people possible and facilitate access to the fire fighting crew. www.semsafe.danfoss.com
