    Train stations usually have subway access, so why bother taking a taxi?

      Have you considered the time? The last subway from Pudong Airport departs at 10:30 PM. Besides, her taxi ride was only 15 minutes, likely just to Chuansha. The late-night airport shuttle's first stop is already Longyang Road, so what other option is there besides a taxi in that situation?

        True. Once you're used to Shanghai taxi fares, taking a cab in Spain didn't even feel that expensive to me.

          I find taking a taxi much better than dealing with downtown parking fees.

            Why does everyone find Shanghai so expensive? Is 'consumption downgrading' really hitting the whole country that hard?

              Shanghai taxis are sooo expensive! (Yeah, right!) I've been here four days, taking taxis daily. A 40-minute ride for over ten kilometers costs just over 20 RMB, and a 2km trip is only 8 RMB... Who'd even bother cycling with prices like these?

                The 24-hour airport shuttle from Pudong Airport only serves Longyang Road, Jing'an Temple, and the Hongqiao Hub.

                  Pudong Airport is genuinely massive. The longest it ever took me to get from deplaning to the exit was an hour and a half.

                    In other cities, I'm usually out and at the car park within 10 minutes of deplaning.

                      Actually, the subway in the city center is very convenient.
