It will save you having to negotiate the metro which can get very busy (depending on what time you're using it).
The taxi rank at the maglev station is easy to find (walk over a bridge and down an escalator - do not go down the escalator before crossing over the (short) bridge). It is a controlled and supervised rank.
Was just looking for the best way to get downtown from PVG and came across this post. Not speaking the language at all makes getting into the city a bit daunting but I'm hoping a trip on the Maglev then a taxi will be the best approach.
Would it be easy enough getting a taxi back to the Maglev successfully without speaking a word of the local tongue?
Excellent information
LHR/MEL/Europe FF, thank you.
