It opened on December 29, 2007. The entire line is located in the Pudong New Area. A complete trip between the two end terminals, Gangcheng Road and Oriental Sports Center takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Line 6 has been dubbed the unofficial nickname \u201cHello Kitty Line\u201d due to its lurid pink livery. The line is colored magenta on system maps.

The planning of Line 6 began in 2000, but real estate development along the proposed line happened faster than anticipated upon the line’s initial opening. Uniquely at the time, a majority of the Line 6 opened in one phase creating a 30-kilometer (19\u00a0mi) long corridor overnight. Existing buses were cancelled or diverted simultaneously due to the opening of Line 6, forcing residents along the line to travel by rail transit. This was exacerbated by high initial train headways upon opening as all ordered rolling stock have not been completely delivered. Additionally, the line had relatively short operating hours leading to large number of passengers flooding into the first train.[2] Line 6 was initially forecasted to carry 105,000 people\/day. However the aforementioned factors led to the ridership of the line to exceed 150,000 people\/day during the first few days of operation.[3] Realizing the sheer miscalculation during construction, the municipal government have pledged to add new trains and shorten wait times starting in June 2008. However, Line 6 still suffers severe crowding and delays especially during rush hours with passenger flow growing faster than expected.[4] In 2012 the busiest section of the line was still running at 133% capacity.[5] With the opening of Line 12 the Shanghai Metro advises passengers divert to the new line to relieve crowding.[6] The line was built to accommodate light metro narrow-bodied “C size” trains with 4 carriages each, which is not interchangeable with wide-body “A size” trains with 6 to 8 carriages on other Shanghai Metro lines. This difference in loading gauge has made it impractical to upgrade the line to higher capacity “A size” trains to relieve demand. The platform length (especially at underground stations) has made it impractical to upgrade the line to accommodate more carriages.Stations[edit]Service routes[edit]Important stations[edit]Future expansion[edit]There are no plans to extend the line.
