Unfortunately, Madison is in one of least convenient areas (inside 内环) to reach from PVG via public transit. If you had stuck close to JA Temple, People's Square, or Lujiazui, you would have been able to reduce the travel time by at least 45 minutes, but the walk itself isn't such a bad thing when the weather is nice, and you were able to pass time in a more relaxed --even if a bit too hipster/trendy-- part of town.
