People's Square (simplified Chinese: 人民广场站; traditional Chinese: 人民廣場站; pinyin: Rénmín Guǎngchǎng Zhàn) is the name of a large interchange station of the Shanghai Metro, located below People's Square in the city center of Shanghai. The station is reputedly the busiest metro station in all of China, handling a daily traffic of 400,000.[citation needed]
The station is part of Line 1, Line 2 and Line 8, making it an important interchange station which now has over twenty exits. This station is exceptionally busy because of a unique combination of being surrounded by office buildings, shopping centers and several tourist attractions. This combination causes it to be extremely busy during peak times, but it remains very busy during the rest of the day as well.
