thanks. I'll download it just in case.
ETA: I just downloaded the app, saved my Citi MC info in my wallet and appear to be good to go. I was able to get a FYI quote from PVG to the HIlton and it came back at 205 yuan which translated into $32. This was for an "express" car not luxury. Uber X equivalent perhaps? Is this moreorless the same price a taxi would charge me? If so I'll take the taxi rather than worry about a driver calling me and becoming frustrated since we can't understand each other.
