Anyway, here are numbers thus far. I headed for the bus from the arrivals lobby at 435p, reached the bus stop at 442p, and the bus departed at 457p.

ETA: the rest:

Arrive Jing’an Station = 544p
Arrive at same destination = 551p

Switching gears, the Expo Taxi guy I used last night (info in post #66) performed flawlessly. We made it from the airport to Sinan Mansion (Sinan Rd at Fuxing Rd) in 33 minutes, flat, and I didn't feel like our lives were in danger at all. If any of you guys fancy using him for (metered) pick ups, be advised that he prefers the departures level and "just in time" practices. While scheduling airport pickups at PVG is completely unnecessary, since some people ask about this from time to time, it might be useful to have a few driver numbers out there. Plus the same drivers can also bring people to the airport when it is raining.
