Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) Train & Subway Services

An extremely rapid Shanghai Airport train service, Maglev Train Service, links the PVG Shanghai Pudong International Airport with Metro Line 2 at Longyang Road Metro Station 龙阳路地铁站.

Riding the Shanghai Airport train service into Shanghai may be quite a memorable experience if fast trains are of interest. Using magnetic levitation technology, it does not touch the tracks and traverses 30.5 km in as quick as 7 minutes, while hitting a maximum speed of 431 km/h (267 mph). During non-peak hours, the train runs at 301 km/h.

The stop at Longyang Road Metro Station (龙阳路地铁站) is a good stopping point if Pudong is your final destination.Most journeys require a combination with walking, public transport or a taxi. Note that the Maglev and airport station are not well marked on the city subway/rail map so if in doubt ask so you exit at the station to make your connection from Maglev to the Metro.
