Hello,
I am looking to know when the first phase of line 10 will open as I am considering living near Huashan Greenland.
Thanks!

Mr.James replied:
Line 10 (phrase 1) will be open in APril, before the Expo. However, for the construction of Hongqiao High Speed raiway Station is unergoing, some stations of Line 1 are still closed till Oct. I guess Huashan Greenland will be open before the Expo.

Scheduled to watch the 2010 Shanghai F1 GP (April 14-16, 2010) --- will Line 11 be operational at that time?
By the way, what are the transpo options available to and from the racetrack from Shangrila Pudong? The pros and cons would be a lot of help. This would be my family's first visit of Shanghai. Thanks.

Mr.Sandy replied:
The north section of Line 11 has been in trial operation and F1 Shanghai Circuit station seems not ready and it is expected to be put in use before the event. Jiangsu Road to Jiding North station section of Line 11 must be available. You can use Line 2 from Pudong to Jiangsu Road and then change to Line 11 to Jiading North. Then just one stop to the circuit. I guess Line 11 will be ready at that time.

Hi I need to get to the Bund from Shanghai South Railway station , what is my best option?
Feb. 3,2010 19:43
Mr.JAMESWONG(China) replied:
Subway. Take line 1 from South Railway Station to the People's Square then change to Subway line 2 (one stop) to Nanjing East Road. Walk to the bund, just a few minutes. If you are not in hurry, you can just walk from the people's Square till you reach the Bund, as a walking sightseeing.

1. On arrival in Shanghai Pudong Airport, we are planning on taking the Maglev, and then transfering to Line 2 to get to People's Square. How convenient is it if we have luggage? Are there lots of steps where we have to carry our luggage?
2. What is the Airport Bus line to take if we are going to People's Square from Pudong Airport?
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Feb. 3,2010 19:40
Mr.JAMESWONG(China) replied:
Hi. Not so many stops but if you have too heavy or too much lugguage, it may be not as so convenient. There is no direct shuttle bus to People's Square. You can take airport bus line 6 to Laoximen and then take a taxi to the people's Square.

Ms.Liza(China) said:
how about from line 2 (xujiahui) to pudong airport, which transportation you suggest is better & how many hours would it take? are there any free shuttle bus? if yes, pls adv to where we could we take this bus? thank you!
Jan. 19,2010 22:10
Mr.SHANA(China) replied:
Metro line 2? As I know, the Line 2 doesn't have a stop at Xujiahui. If you are in Xujiahui currently, you could take the subway Line 1 to Shanghai South Railway Station firstly. Here, you could take the shuttle bus Line 7 to Pudong Airport with a fare of CNY20.
Although the shuttle bus Line 3 passes by Xujiahui, I'm afraid that there is no seat left for you.
Jan. 19,2010 23:11
Mr.James replied:
No free shuttle bus and Subway Line 2 did not pass Xujiahui, it is Line 1. If you mean airport shuttle BUs Line 2, I think it did not get to Xujiahui also. It should be bus line3. It stops at Zhaojiabang Road, in front of Xujiahui Park. You can take it to the airport and it takes 1.5 hours. To be faster, you can take subway from Xujiahui to People's Square by Line 1 and change to Line 2 there to Longyang Road. THen take Maglev train to Pudong airport. If you can find the bus stop, it seem easier for you to take bus.
