Passengers can take a single subway line or make transfer freely among certain lines. The major transfer stations include People's Square, Shanghai South Railway Station, Shanghai Indoor Stadium, Xinzhuang, Zhongshan Park, Century Avenue and South Xizang Rd..
We suggest you buy a through ticket at your starting station, because it is more convenient and the ticket fare is much lower than that you buy two tickets at your starting station and transfer station.
When you get off the train at the transfer station, please remember not to exit the turnstile. Follow the guide signs to find the special passage leading to the platform for trains on the next line you plan to take and then wait for the train patiently.
You can refer to the maps of Shanghai subway and properly arrange your transfer. Here offers the timetables of transfer among different Shanghai subway lines:

What's the best way from Shanghai South Station via subway line 5 -> subway line 2 to Longyang Rd. and Maglev train. If you have a large luggage to carry, is People's Square transfer station has escalators?

Mr.James replied:
Shanghai SOuth Railway Station to Longyang Road should be via Subway Line 1 and Line 2. CHange from Line 1 to Line is like this: get out of from Line and take escalators up to the transfer hall to Line 2. Go downstairs to the ticket hall of Line 2 on basement 2 and then use escalators to Basement 3 waiting for the coming of Line 2.

Most of the tranfer stations of Shanghai metro are designed properly no other than the Zhongshan Park where the Line 2 and Line 3 could transfer to each other. We left from the People's Square(Line2) to the
Shilong Road (Line3). When we transfered at the Zhongshang Park Station, it was a challenge for our physical strength. First, took a long way hastily and then climbed up a long stairs to the upper level where the station of Line 3 was. It almost took 10 minutes for a young lady. So, I think that they should improve the transfer station better!
