Shapingba station

Shapingba is a metro station of the Chongqing Rail Transit system in Shapingba District, Chongqing Municipality, China.[2][3] The station began service on 28 July 2011 with the opening of Line 1 of Chongqing Rail Transit. Until the extension to Daxuecheng was completed and opened in 2012, it operated as the terminus of Line 1. It later was expanded to accommodate two extra metro lines to the south of the Line 1 metro station, to serve Line 9 (opened on January 25, 2022[1]) & the Loop Line (opened on December 28, 2018). Line 27 which is currently under construction will also serve the station in future. Nevertheless, due to the transfer passage is still under construction, all passengers transferring among these lines must exit the station first.
