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, around early 2014, some passengers that travelled long distances between urban area and the suburban areas of Jiading or Sanlin that cannot bear standing for a long time started bringing their own small folding seats into the carriages. In the following years, the official Weibo of Shanghai Metro reminded passengers involved phenomenon to be safe and civilized as Shanghai Metro maintains that these foldable seats can be a safety hazard on trains and reduces capacity. Beginning in 2019, line 11 started having announcements in carriages to remind passengers to not bring and use their own seats on the train.[13] [14]
