It's all overhead catenary - no third rail in Shanghai. They run at 1500VDC, so I guess third rail was thought to be too dangerous. Only issue with it is they have to build higher diameter tunnels to accommodate it.

I really like the new map too - nice and colourful, easy to read. It's obviously inspired by the famous Underground map, but also has a style of its own.
