3. Taxi is the fastest when you take waiting for bus or Maglev into account
4. Waiting for the subway isn't really an issue, but the subway is not fast
5. The Guanglan road transfer between the short and long train is quite painless
Ok, gotcha. Believe it or not, I've been taking the maglev and line 2 whenever I arrive at PVG. I'll continue this conversation in the other thread. Thx.
