I think it’s not difficult to make interchange in Hongkou Stadium Station.But Shanghai Railway Station,it’s not easy.Between Line 1 and Line 3/4 it’s a long way and only use the tunnel.
I have been in Beijing last year, they make a special lane to make interchange between Line 13 and 2 at Xizhimen Station.Maybe Shanghai Railway Station can be used this way.

Thanks Matt for wonderful blog and updates
Why is there a transfer problem between 3/8 at Hongkou stadium? is it true we need 20 minutes to transfer?

想法太赞了！但是算法还可以改进，比如：
从塘桥到人民广场，应该是四号线塘桥站转二号线，比转八号线快，因为二号线的班次多。价格是一样的。

I am going to do some timing at Shanghai Railway Station later this month to find out exactly how long it takes to change and tweak the journey planner accordingly. Ideally the route planner might offer you two routes: fastest and cheapest (and even compare estimated cost/time of a taxi!)

Interchange problem at Shanghai Railway station is still the big problem. I’m not sure it will be resolved in the near future.

In the new route map, it’s a normal metro station. Not interchange or transfer station any more. ‘Cause most of passengers will not transfer at Railway station between line 1 and line 3/4. Not only it will costs more money but also there is long way to walk between 2 metro stations. Because the line 1 station is under south square of Railway station and line 3/4 is under North square.

I read some news about those 2 interchange stations. Transfer problem between 3/8 at Hongkou stadium may be will be resolved 2009. Transfer problem between 1/3/4 at Railway station may be will not be resolved until 2010 before north square of Railway station is rebuilt.
