Points in favor of the #2 bus:
-45 minutes is preferable to 85 minutes
-forward facing seat
-ability to look out the window (as demonstrated in your video)

In light of the fact that I am presently located in xtd, the busses are not especially practical for me, so I typically use Uber to PVG, and taxis from PVG.

Let us know next time you're in Shanghai, and we'll grab some beers.
