THE construction of an improved transport network is one of the priorities for the Hongqiao business district under the government’s latest development plan for the area, local authorities said yesterday.

By 2020, the commercial hub will be served by four new subway services, an electric bus line and an extended Yan’an Road, the district management committee said in a statement.

The area is currently served by Metro Lines 2 and 10, but under the development plan, stops along Lines 13, 17, 20 and 23 will be added, it said.
