The 1st phase of line 11, which runs from North Jiading to Jiangsu Road, opened on 31 December 2009.
[7] From January 26, 2020 until March 24,[8] the Kunshan section of line 11 (Anting to Huaqiao) was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
[26] Instead, it has been left as a reserved station under construction that will open in the future pending development in the area.
