The Pujiang line of Shanghai Metro (simplified Chinese: 上海轨道交通浦江线; traditional Chinese: 上海軌道交通浦江線; pinyin: Shànghǎi Guǐdào Jiāotōng Pǔjiāng Xiàn) is an automated, driverless, rubber-tyred Shanghai Metro line in the town of Pujiang, in the Shanghai district of Minhang. It was originally conceived as the Phase 3 of Shanghai Metro Line 8 (Chinese: 八号线三期), but afterwards was constructed as a separate line, connecting with Line 8 at its southern terminus, Shendu Highway.[3][note 1] The line opened for passenger trial operations on March 31, 2018.[4][5][6] It is the first automated, driverless people mover line in the Shanghai Metro, and has 6 stations with a total length of 6.689 kilometres (4.156 mi).[3] It is colored grey on station maps.[5]

The line is operated by Shanghai Keolis Public Transport Operation & Management Co. Ltd. (上海申凯公共交通运营管理有限公司), a joint venture owned by Keolis and Shanghai Shentong Metro Group for at least five years after opening.[7][8]
