Shanghai Pudong Airport: choose a city transfer

Compare rail, Maglev, bus and taxi options, then verify the live details before leaving the terminal.

Shanghai’s municipal transport guide identifies Metro Line 2, the Maglev to Longyang Road, airport buses and taxis as ways to travel between Pudong Airport and the city. It also says a free shuttle links Pudong’s terminals. Use the live operator information for current schedules, fares, terminal access and traffic conditions.

A clear next step

  1. Choose the transfer mode that fits your destination and luggage.
  2. For Maglev, plan the onward transfer from Longyang Road; for metro, use Line 2 as the municipal guide indicates.
  3. Check current operator details for platform, bus-stop, taxi and timetable information.
