I don't read Chinese (I speak a couple of words only) so any kind of interaction is usually problematic!
I honestly had no idea which is faster. Last time I did the metro transit in ~20mins. I recall that the walk from both terminals to the metro stations to be quite short (maybe not as short as HKG but comparable to SZX where you go do a couple escalators) and well-signed. I have never taken the bus, but a quick search online tells me that the bus runs from the departures level, T2, Door 42 to T1. It looks like the bus is run every 10 mins so probably the total transit time is similar.
Apparently both the bus and the metro are free! Somehow I missed that last time and probably just used WeChat to swipe through.
