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.
In that case, you probably wouldn't even find any driver from Didi (or other ride-hailing services) to respond to your request for a ride, at least until you agree to pay significantly more for it. It may still be worth it though as the cost would still be so much lower than most other places outside China.
