TAXI

Taxis are the fastest means of transportation, traffic permitting.Finding a taxi in the busy streets of the city is easy in most cases. However, during the rush hours finding one could be difficult, in which case you may want to take the metro.

Although most of the drivers are familiar with the city,  being as specific as possible with directions will speed up your journey and make it cheaper. Normally, quoting the street name of the intersecting street would be preferred.

Charge:

Payment:

Tipping is not expected. Cash and transportation card are the only means for payment. When giving the address of your destination, it would be better if it is in Chinese as most drivers can speak very little English.

Receipt:

   Upon leaving, ask for a receipt (发票 fa1 piao4), which shows the taxi number and the company’s telephone number. It is very useful if you leave something behind in the cab or you have a complaint.

• This is the fastest and the most efficient way to travel across the city. There are now 13 lines in Shanghai and covers nearly the entire city. The train interval is 3-15 minutes depending on the line. Lines that run around Central Shanghai runs on 2-5 minutes interval. 

• The minimum fare for each train ride is RMB 3. Tickets cost around RMB 3-10 based on the distance you travel. You can either buy a single journey ticket at the automated machines or use the transportation card we offer. The transportation cards are valid for the Metro, buses and taxis.

• Signs and maps are clear and in English, making the metro system easy  to navigate. However, try to avoid taking transportation during rush hours of 7:30-10:00am and 5:00-7:30pm in weekdays.

• The Metro map is available in the appendix II.
