1) Bund Sight Seeing Tunnel
-overpriced at y30 pp, and totally pointless, but it goes from the center of the Bund directly to Lujiazui in about 2.5 minutes

2) One of the public boats
-similar to the Star Ferry in HK, though with substantially less charm
-most of the ones I can recall drop off at the south end of the Binjiang Park in Lujiazui (which isn't super convenient), but I actually walking along the east bank of the river (more than the Bund) when the weather is nice

Other than that, I'm not sure the OP should waste any of his precious Shanghai 8 hours in Pudong given that Puxi has so much more to offer.
