　　Recently, the Shanghai Urban Construction and Transportation Development Research Institute released the "2025 Shanghai Comprehensive Transportation Development Analysis Report." The report shows that last year, the levels of Shanghai's international shipping center, aviation hub, and railway network continued to improve. The regional transportation network became more complete, integration accelerated, and urban transportation services became more diverse and user-friendly, providing strong support for the governance of a megacity.

　　Leap in International Hub Levels? Thriving Passenger and Freight Markets

　　By 2025, Shanghai's position as a key node in the global supply chain will be solidified, with continuous growth in container throughput. Shanghai Port operates nearly 350 international shipping routes, covering over 700 ports in more than 200 countries and regions, maintaining the world's top connectivity. It is accelerating the layout of international routes in emerging markets such as Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with new business models like cross-border e-commerce shipping becoming growth points.

　　The port facility system continues to improve. The construction of the northern operation area of Xiaoyangshan in the Yangshan Deepwater Port area is fully underway, the second phase of the container terminal renovation project in the Luojing Port area has fully started, and the second phase of the South Port automobile roll-on/roll-off terminal has entered full production and operation. Leveraging models such as "one-box system" and "Shanghai-Taiwan same-port access," Shanghai Port utilizes inland waterways, railways, and other collection and distribution methods to deeply connect with industrial clusters in the Yangtze River Delta and the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　The aviation hub is equally impressive. By 2025, Shanghai's air transportation market will see thriving passenger and freight volumes: cargo and mail throughput will rank second among global cities, with Pudong Airport's annual cargo and mail throughput exceeding 4 million tons for the first time. Passenger throughput will rank third among global cities, with Hongqiao Airport's annual passenger throughput surpassing 50 million for the first time. Meanwhile, the international route network continues to densify. By the end of 2025, Shanghai airports will connect to 54 countries and 302 destinations. Last year, the number of inbound and outbound passengers reached 39.9 million, ranking first in the country. Measures such as "second-level clearance" for electronic information and "zero delay" for inbound and outbound connections increased the transfer volume of cargo and mail at the two airports by 35% within a year.

　　In terms of railways, the optimization of corridors and hub layouts has contributed to the steady growth of railway passenger volumes. By 2025, the number of external railway passengers arriving and departing from Shanghai will reach 274 million, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. The annual external railway freight volume will reach 19.322 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.9%.

　　Stronger Integrated Transportation Network? Higher Coordination in the Yangtze River Delta

　　Over the past year, Shanghai's multi-level comprehensive transportation corridors have taken shape more quickly, and the integrated transportation network has been continuously improved. The frequency of personnel exchanges in the Yangtze River Delta region has increased. By 2025, the daily railway passenger arrivals and departures, daily interprovincial commercial passenger transport volumes, and daily interprovincial motor vehicle traffic volumes between Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region will all see varying degrees of growth.

　　Looking at the strengthening of the integrated transportation network—

　　In terms of railways, the Shanghai South Link Line has been successfully opened, the preliminary construction of the Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway (Shanghai-Zhapu-Hangzhou) has begun, and the framework of the "Yangtze River Delta on Rails" continues to densify.

　　In terms of highways, the Songjiang section of National Highway 320 has been completed and opened to traffic, the reconstruction section of National Highway 228 has passed acceptance, and breakthrough progress has been made in interprovincial "dead-end road" projects such as the eastward extension of Pugang Road. The level of interprovincial road connectivity has reached a new height.

　　The urban rail transit network is becoming more complete. With the westward extension of Line 2 and the opening of the second phase of Line 18, the total operating mileage of Shanghai's rail transit network has increased to 906 kilometers, with an average daily passenger volume of 10.162 million by 2025.

　　A robust transportation network supports comprehensive growth in regional passenger flows. By 2025, travel demand during holidays will be strong, and the scale of external passenger flows in Shanghai will reach a historic high. During the "May Day" holiday in 2025, the average daily external commercial passenger arrivals and departures in Shanghai reached 1.61 million, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%, setting a new record. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, single-day passenger flows for railways and civil aviation both hit new highs, and the average daily traffic at interprovincial highway checkpoints reached 773,000 vehicles during the "May Day" period.

　　Diverse and Multi-dimensional Travel Services? Continuous Optimization of Travel Environment

　　By 2025, the quality and efficiency of internal urban travel in Shanghai will be upgraded simultaneously, driven by the continuous improvement of travel services and the optimization of the travel environment.

　　Over the past year, the Shanghai suburban airport line has provided new options for fast commuting for residents in suburban areas such as Songjiang, Minhang, and Chuansha. Approximately 90% of the line's passenger flow is related to the two airports, with about 24% of the flow occurring between the two airports. Passenger flow continues to grow, highlighting the new characteristics of "hub linkage + commuting." In 2025, the first full year of operation after the line's opening, the average daily passenger volume of the Shanghai suburban airport line reached 43,000, a 30.4% increase compared to the initial period of operation.

　　Road facilities are also being renewed and upgraded. Throughout the year, Shanghai completed the construction of 100 "boutique roads" and upgraded 400 kilometers of rural roads, significantly improving the urban and rural road environment.

　　The mainline elevation project of the Shanghai-Jinshan Expressway urban section (Xinzhuang Interchange to Jindu Road) has been opened, and projects such as the "youthful" fourth phase of the Inner Ring Elevated Road (Longhua West Road to Nanpu Bridge) and the traffic function enhancement project for the western section of the Outer Ring Road (Taopu Road to Lian'an Road) have successively started, further enhancing road accessibility.

　　To facilitate citizen travel, Shanghai launched a pilot program for the construction of public transportation micro-hubs in 2025, completing 15 micro-hubs to achieve seamless connections between buses, rail transit, taxis, non-motorized vehicles, and slow traffic systems. Additionally, 150 bus stops were retrofitted for elderly accessibility, 420 barrier-free low-floor buses were put into operation, and the accessibility ramp configuration rate at rail transit stations reached 100%. Ground-level bus services within 50 meters of rail transit stations accounted for 90%. Furthermore, 2,922 off-peak shared parking spaces were added throughout the year, and 20 exemplary smart public parking lots (garages) were created.
