Map is totally wrong!

Line 2 / Line 16 intersection is where the Maglev to the PVG is. They have an escalator so for luggage that might help. The x-ray is larger at Magleve as well, but if you take subway and have anything much larger than a typical roller board it won't fit thru the Metro-subway x-ray, but the can be pretty lenient as well, YMMV.

As to taxi, if you get a taxi from hotel you usually shouldn't get cheated. If you ask Taxi to Magleve with a big bag the taxi driver will try to convince you to take him all the way to PVG as he makes more money, that has happened to me a few times, but after some insistence they relent, but if you don't speak chinese and aren't watching be careful.

Depending on where you are a ride to PVG runs say 180 RMB from the Bund area, while Taxi + Maglev is 60+60 or so.

Coming from PVG, the Taxi line can be long, 30' wait, YMMV. If you dont' speak Chinese MUST have address or hotel name ( 5 star ). I've met a few drivers who didn't know where some 4 star hotels are, so address also is critical.

Another option if money is more important than time would be the Eco bus. They have a information stand to the right and outside after you exit the luggage pickup. They run about every 20-30' thru early evening to most major hotels. They are cheap than taxi, and MagLe+Taxi, but not cheaper than taking line2 all the way in.
