Shanghai Pudong Airport Public Bus Recommendations


 
IHateTaxis.com recommends the Shanghai Pudong Airport public bus.

With the addition of new electric bus service to downtown hotels, taking the bus is now a viable option.

 

Regular Pudong Shanghai Airport bus services, however, take up to 90 minutes (typically only this long if going to the west side of Shanghai and during peak times). If arriving during busy commute times, consider taking the Metro to avoid congestion on the road.
