Shanghai to Rename Another 3 Metro Stations

"Nanjing Road E." will replace the "Henan Road M." station name along Metro Line No. 2 by the end of this year.

Some citizens wondered why Nanjing Road wasnt used as a Metro line station name because its one of Shanghais symbols and the most famous shopping street.

The naming authority took the suggestion.

Meanwhile, "Shimen Road Station" on Metro Line No. 2 will be replaced by "Nanjing Road W. Station." and "Wenshui Road E. Station" on Metro Line No. 3 will be changed to "Dabaishu Station."

The "Dongfang Road Metro Station," which will reopen this month following months of construction, has changed its name to "Century Boulevard Station," because the former name didnt express its location accurately after it will later be a transfer hub for Metro Line No. 2, No. 4, No. 6 and another future Metro line.

In a survey conducted by Youth Daily, most respondents accepted the new station names.
