History
The line 11 was originally planned to be from Jiading to Nanhui New City, with a total length of 120 kilometres (75 mi), the south part of the line has been transferred to line 16.
The 1st phase of line 11, which runs from North Jiading to Jiangsu Road, opened on 31 December 2009.[2][3] A branch line from Anting opened on 29 March 2010.[4]
The 2nd phase runs from Jiangsu Road to Luoshan Road. It opened on 31 August 2013.[5]
The 3rd phase connects Luoshan Road and the Disney Resort. This section is 9.4 kilometres (5.8 mi) long with three stations. All new stations except for the Disney Resort station opened on December 19, 2015.[6] The Disney Resort started to trial operation on April 26, 2016.[7]
From January 26, 2020 until March 24,[8] the Kunshan section of line 11 (Anting to Huaqiao) was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
On August 25, 2020, an infill station at Chenxiang Highway was opened.[10]
On February 14, 2022, the Kunshan section of line 11 was again suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] It was reopened on July 4, 2022.[12]
On September 28, 2024, an infill station Kangheng Road was opened.[13]

Controversy
Due to the long length of line 11 and high passenger volumes, it is common for line 11 passengers to be forced to stand on the train for their entire trip. In response to this, in 2014, some passengers who travelled long distances between the urban area and the suburban areas of Jiading or Sanlin who could not bear standing for a long time started bringing their own folding seats into the carriages. Shanghai Metro said there is a safety hazard when sitting on personal benches. In the following years, the official Weibo of Shanghai Metro also reminded passengers of the phenomenon of "bench tribe" to be safe and civilized. Beginning in 2019, Line 11 posted relevant reminders in the carriages, and reminded passengers not to use their own benches in the carriages through the carriage broadcast.[14][15]
