沪8号线三期无人驾驶地铁亮相   2017-01-10

 

A DRIVERLESS train running on rubber tires and concrete roads arrived at Shanghai yesterday, which will run on the third phase of Metro Line 8.

The new section is expected to be opened by the end of this year. The four-carriage train without a driver will be more spacious and can carry at most 726 passengers.

The Metro operator says the rides will be quieter, maintenance costs lower and it will be more energy efficient.
