Transportation Within Shanghai

Transportation within Shanghai is fairly inexpensive and certainly varied. Those adhering to tighter budgets, or those who simply enjoy traveling with the locals, can make use of the buses and subway. They are relatively painless ways to save a few RMB that could be better spent elsewhere. However, if claustrophobia is a concern (be wary of the subway and buses around commuter times... yikes), then taxis are a great and still relatively inexpensive option.  For those traveling in style (or on business), private cars can be hired at prices that are still a deal compared with New York or London. For details, read the articles in this section to decide which is the best option for you.

Pudong International Airport (浦东国际机场)
 
Traveling in China, particularly for the first time, is not the easiest thing.  Luckily the Pudong International Airport is well organized and makes the first experience here a little easier than you might expect.

Transportation to and from the airport is pretty easy, but China is still a foreign country with an entirely different language. Therefore, if the idea of taking a taxi or train immediately upon arrival makes you a little uneasy, arrange for a driver to pick you up at the airport and deliver you to your hotel.  I certainly recommend this mode of transportation for guests who have never been to China before, or for groups that have more people (or luggage) than will fit in one taxi.

Public Bus System 公交系统

In Shanghai public buses cost 1 yuan per trip for normal buses and 2 yuan per trip for the air-conditioned buses.
 
The public bus system is quite extensive, but the signs at bus stops are usually only labeled in Chinese.  If you know Chinese or can get somebody to help you pick your route, the bus can be more convenient than the subway and cheaper than a cab.
 
For more info (in Chinese only) try checking the official website for transportation in Shanghai.

Besides the tourist ferries and cruises, ferries are also used as a simple mode of transportation in Shanghai.

Taking a ferry across the river fits in nicely with a walking tour of Shanghai. Two river-crossing ferries depart and arrive from Dongchang Lu (东昌路) in Pudong, which is only a 15 minute walk away from the Pearl Tower. Read more...

Around Town Transportation – Taxis
 
The base fare for every taxi in Shanghai is 11RMB. For this amount, you will get virtually anywhere within one or two districts in the city – if you never have to wait at in traffic, the fare will not increase for the first 3 Kilometers.  However, the stand-still time will affect the fare, so if you are stuck in traffic the fare will still increase faster than 3K.  The base fare rises to 14RMB after 11pm.
