Depending on your route, transfer at Dapinglin Station, Jingan Station, Touqianzhuang Station, Banqiao Station, or Xinpu Station. You can transfer within the station at Dapinglin, Jingan, and Touqianzhuang Stations. For Banqiao and Xinpu Stations, transfer outside the station.

Transfer within the station: Switch lines directly without tapping out at the transfer station.

Transfer outside the station: Tap out at the transfer station (Banqiao or Xinpu), then tap in with the same card (ticket) at the Circular Line station within 20 minutes to continue your journey.

•    Using a stored-value card or multi-payment method: The gate deducts the full fare from entry to the transfer station when you tap out. At your destination, the gate automatically adjusts for the "shortest mileage" fare, refunding or charging the difference.

•    Using a single-journey ticket: If the ticket fare doesn't cover entry to the transfer station, you need to top up at the station information counter before tapping out. At your destination, visit the information counter for a refund.
