The Fengpu Express is a bus rapid transit line located in Shanghai, China. It operates between Nanqiao Bus Station in Fengxian District and Shendu Highway station in Pudong District, and is operated by Shanghai Xiantong BRT Co. Ltd (Chinese: 贤通快速公交建设有限公司). It is the first BRT line to run in Shanghai.
In 2012, the government of Fengxian District announced in their annual report that the district is willing to take up the task of construction of Shanghai's first BRT line.[1] Bidding for construction of different parts of the route started in 2013.
On 20 April 2018, the route was partially opened between Nanqiao Bus Station and Shendu Highway station, with a total of 12 stops.[2]
On 20 April 2019, on the 1st anniversary of the opening of the line, Jinhui station opened as an infill station along Puxing Highway, between Nanhanggang Road and Lunan Road stations.[3]
As of 2021, there are plans to extend the Fengpu Express Line to Oriental Sports Center station, in order to relieve congestion on Line 8.[4]
As of May 2023, Fengpu Express stops at 13 stations along Nanfeng Highway, Xianpu Road and Puxing Highway, with a total route length of 20.3 km.[5] Travelling from one terminus to another takes approximately 45 minutes.
