Controversy

On December 28, 2011 the northern terminus of the line was shifted from Qihua Road station to an independent station called Jinqiu station beside Line 7 between Qihua and Shanghai University station but with no direct transfers to Line 7.[5] This has stirred controversy among residents over Line 15's already lack of convenient connections with other major subway lines such as Line 2 and Line 10.[6] Planners reconsidered and extended Line 15 north of Jinqiu station to connect with Line 7 at Gucun Park station.[7]
