Shanghai Metro glitch delays morning rush hour crowds

THOUSANDS of commuters were delayed this morning as a passenger’s foot was stuck in the platform gap on the Dongchang Road Station of Metro Line 2.

Metro operator is handling the emergency and expects at least 30-minute delay for the operation between the Century Avenue Station and the People’s Square Station.

Crowds swelled at the People’s Square Station that is a hub for transfer to other lines.

It’s the second breakdown on Metro Line 2 in a week as a system glitch caused trains on Line 2 to drive at a slower speed during the rush hour last Wednesday morning.
