Thanks for the tips.
My destination is in the Kangqiao industrial area in Pudong. Normally I would just take the metro all the way to my hotel in Puxi but I am arriving quite early in the morning and promised to visit the office first.
Myself and other colleagues have had bad experiences with the taxi drivers at PVG in the past, I think they get angry because of the shorter trip to Kangqiao when they expect a lucrative ride to other side of the river. I was hoping to use Didi to alleviate that.
I am now consdering to just take the metro as far as I can get, transferring to line 11, and then take a Didi from there.
