At 10 o'clock in the morning, Aunt Jiang was already waiting at the transfer passage from Shanghai Line 11 to Suzhou Line 11. She wanted to become the first group of Shanghainese to take the subway to Suzhou.
"After the subway was opened, life became more convenient!" said Aunt Jiang, who moved to Huaqiao in 2017. Previously, when traveling from Shanghai to Huaqiao, one had to take Shanghai Line 11 to Huaqiao, and then transfer to a bus to reach the residential area.
"My friends used to say that my place was inconvenient, but now it's better. I'll transfer to Suzhou Line 11 and take bus 3, get off at the Huaqiao Expo Center, and walk for two or three minutes to get home." Aunt Jiang smiled and said that her husband is still working. He used to rent a house in Jiading New City, but when the lease ends, we won't be renting anymore and will live together in Huaqiao.

[Travel Guide] How is the most convenient way to get through the three transfer channels?
Suzhou Metro Line 11 and Shanghai Metro Line 11 are seamlessly connected at Huaqiao Station through three aerial corridors.
Among them, both the east and west transfer channels can achieve security free transfer, and each channel is separated by iron horses into card swiping transfer channels and non sensory transfer channels. The middle passage is mainly for the convenience of passengers entering and exiting the station. Passengers taking Suzhou Line 11/Shanghai Line 11 from this passage need to undergo security checks, purchase tickets, or swipe their cards to enter the station for boarding.
If you choose a no sense transfer channel, passengers need to use the "SueXing" or "Metro Metropolis" app to scan the code. After entering the station from any station in Suzhou/Shanghai, follow the signs and guide you through the "no sense transfer" channel to enter the subway network of another city and exit at any station.
When choosing the card swiping transfer channel, passengers need to swipe their card to exit the gate after arriving at Huaqiao Station on Line 11. According to the transfer instructions, they can swipe their card again through the card swiping transfer channel to enter Suzhou Metro Line 11, but there is no need for a second security check.
In addition to the "Sue Xing" and "Metro Metropolis" apps, the National Transportation Joint Card can be used within the subway network of the two cities. One side needs to swipe the card first to exit the station, and after completing the cost settlement, the other side needs to swipe the card to enter the station. At present, it is not possible to enter or exit from Suzhou or Shanghai.
Other passengers holding one-way tickets, count tickets, or local citizen cards need to purchase new tickets or change their ticket cards to enter the station after exiting.
