In preparation for the weather conditions, the Lujiazui tourist bus, Shanghai Sightseeing Bus Line 3, the Zhangjiang tram line and the Lingang medium-capacity bus suspended service on Monday.

In Chongming District, the Shenchong Line 7 and Hengchang Line buses are not in service due to the suspension of ferry routes between Changxing Island and Hengsha Island.
