The taxi queues at PVG seem to be fairly well-regulated now (can't vouch for Longyang Rd though). I believe the Maglev is running ~3x/hour again (same as 2019), so that drill still works. I haven't used any of the buses recently because their endpoints haven't been convenient, but they are also worth looking into.
