Boarding at Longyang Road

FunFancie, a Thai expert who lives in Shanghai, starts at Longyang Road station and explains how the Maglev connects with Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Metro Lines 2, 7, 16, and 18. Signs distinguish the Maglev platform from the many exits and metro lines. She says passengers do not need to book ahead: they can follow the signs, buy a ticket at the station, and board. The train is rarely full, so travelers can choose a seat.

Speed, fares, and schedules

The Maglev reaches a reported top speed of 431 kilometers per hour and takes seven minutes and 20 seconds to travel between Longyang Road and the airport. The regular metro takes about 44 minutes, but it is a more affordable way to reach Pudong. A regular Maglev ticket costs 50 RMB; FunFancie pays 40 RMB with a Shanghai transportation card, which lowers the fare.

The train operates from 6:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with departures every 15 to 20 minutes. These details let passengers weigh the faster ride against the metro's lower price, check whether the service runs at their travel time, and find the right platform among the station connections. The video pairs the journey's speed with its ticketing and route information.

FunFancie also explains the practical side of choosing the service. The Shanghai Public Transportation Card reduces the usual 50 RMB Maglev fare to 40 RMB. Travelers can weigh the train's seven-minute, twenty-second trip against the regular metro's 44 minutes and lower fare. Departures every 15 to 20 minutes make it possible to plan around the service, which runs from 6:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. After following the signs and buying a ticket at the station, passengers can choose a seat because the train is rarely full.
