It is very easy and the standards are either high or very high.

The Shanghai Metro consists of 16 lines, a Maglev line and a further 5 lines under construction and more in planning stages. The metro covers over 600km and links all areas of the city. It’s the largest metro system in the world and the second busiest used by about 10 million people every day. It’s cheap to use (about 4RMB or 40c for most journeys). It can get crowded at times and the security checks on entering the system are frustrating.

Shanghai buses are also well used. Traffic can slow them down and it can be difficult using them if you don’t know Chinese but the bus announcements are in english and any Map app on your phone will show you where the buses go. Buses cost a little less than the metro. Some buses run through the night whereas the metro finishes between 11pm and midnight.

Taxs are everywhere. The starting rate for most taxs is 14RMB ($1.70). The Didi app (Chinese equivalent of Uber) is commonly used and available in English if you have a Chinese SIM. Provide the driver with the nearest cross streets if you’re unable to provide him/her with the correct address. Taxs are reliable and I’ve never been ripped off despite using them hundreds of times over the past few years.

Shared bicycles are omnipresent. They clog up the pavements and cause a mess. They are extremely cheap and as such they can be in a bad condition. They also lack reflectors and don’t have lights on them. They’re handy but do you really want to cycle on these roads and in these pollution levels? Plenty of people do though.

You can also walk. The streets in the Former French Concession can be very nice for walking especially outside of peak hours.

非常便捷，便利度很高，或者时候非常高。

上海地铁由16条线路、一条磁浮线路和另外5条正在建设中的线路组成，还有很多线路处于规划阶段。地铁覆盖600多公里，连接城市的所有区域。它是世界上最大的地铁系统，每天大约有1000万人使用，是全世界第二繁忙的地铁系统。搭乘地铁很便宜（每趟票价大约4元）。有时会很拥挤，安检严格得令人抓狂。

上海的公交车也很好用。如果你不懂中文没关系，公交车会用英文播报，你手机上的地图应用程序也会告诉你公交车开往哪里。公交车比地铁便宜一点。有些公共汽车通宵运行，而地铁在晚上11点到午夜关停。

出租车到处都是。大多数出租车的起步率是1400元人民币（1.70美元）。迪迪应用程序（中文相当于Uber）是常用的，如果你有一个中文SIM，可以用英文。如果你不能给司机提供正确的地址，就给他/她提供最近的十字路口。出租车很可靠，而且我从来没有被偷过，尽管在过去的几年里我用了几百次。

共享自行车无所不在。他们堵塞人行道，造成混乱。它们非常便宜，因此车况可能很差劲。车上没有安装反射器，没有车灯。它们很方便，但你真的想在这些道路和这么雾霾的天气中骑自行车吗？不过很多人都这么做。

你也可以走路。交通高峰期以外的时间，前法租界的街道非常适合散步。

The Shanghai Metro system is very efficient. It’s laid out well and services the majority of the municipality. The subway makes announcements in Chinese and English. The buses are equally efficient and easy to use as well. Some buses make announcements in English but most don’t. If you don’t understand Chinese, it’s best to just count the stops. Tax cabs are a good option as well but require rudimentary Chinese or a pre-printed address. I would stay away from the dark blue and dark red taxs as they are typically privately owned and are known to be untrustworthy at times with regards to fleecing of customers. Depending on the length of your stay, you may want to buy a Metro Card that can be used on the bus and in taxs.

上海地铁系统非常高效。它布局良好，为这座城市的各个角落提供服务。地铁用中文和英文播报通知。公交车也同样高效便捷。有些公交车用英语广播，但大多数都不用。如果你不懂中文，最好数一下站数。出租车也是不错的选择，但是需要基本的中文口语能力或者预先打印好的地址。我不会选择深蓝色和深红色的出租车，因为它们通常是私人的士，有时会欺骗乘客。根据逗留的时间长短，你可以购买地铁卡，可以在公交车和出租车上使用。

Derek Harkness, worked at Transportation

Shanghai has an excellent public transport system on a par with any developed city. It is world class, clean, cheap and efficient.

The traveller has a full choice of transport methods:

• bus
• tax
• subway (Metro)
• maglev
• trams
• hire bicycles

Whenever I am in Shanghai, I naturally gravitate towards using the subway most of the time. You can get to practically any place in the city via the subway network. Trains run frequently, though, like in any other large city, they can be crowded at rush hour.

上海的公共交通系统堪比任何发达城市。它是世界一流水平、干净、便宜又高效。

出行者有很多交通方式可选择：

• 公车
• 出租车
• 地铁（地铁）
• 磁悬浮列车
• 有轨电车
• 共享自行车

我在上海时，大部分时间更愿意搭乘地铁。你可以通过地铁网络到达城市的任何角落。地铁车次很多，不过，和其他大城市一样，高峰时段可能很拥挤。

Really really good is the short answer.

Between the subway (I think now 16 different lines and counting…) and buses it’s really easy to get anywhere you want to for very little money. The coverage of the city by subway network is one of the best I’ve seen anywhere in the world.

While it may be crowded at peak hours it’s generally comfortable.

And for the occasions when those modes of transport don’t work you can use a ride hailing app (didi, not Uber).

When I talk about comfortable and convenient I mean that you could commute to work in a nicely dry cleaned suit and arrive at the other end fresh and crisp - unless you pick the short period of time when the subway is super crammed.

简而言之就是真的很好。

对比地铁（现在有16条不同的线路）和公交车，地铁真的可以很容易地花很少的钱去到你的目的地。地铁网络遍布整座城市，是我见过覆盖度最高的城市之一。

虽然在高峰时段可能很拥挤，但一般情况下都是很舒适的。

在这些交通方式不好用的情况下，你还可以使用叫车软件（滴滴，不是优步）。

当谈到舒适和方便的时候，我的意思是你可以穿上干洗得一干二净的西装去上班，神清气爽地抵达目的地——除非你选择地铁特别拥挤的短暂期间去搭乘。

there are 17+ lines of metro. You can take them across many parts of the city. I believe the metro lines connect Shanghai to Suzhou now. Many downtown locations are served by multiple lines of metro.

Tax is easy to flag. And there are several Uber-like apps. Between them, a translation app, and some forward planning, you can get to basically anywhere in the city.

Buses are clean, air conditioned, fast, and pretty efficient. Public transportation is cheap. Again, you can download apps to help you.

上海地铁有17条线路。你可以搭乘地铁到达城市的许多地方。我相信地铁线路现在已经连接到苏州了。许多市中心的位置有多条地铁线路汇集。

出租车很容易召唤。还有几个类似于优步的应用程序。有了这些软件，外加一个翻译软件，再提前做好规划，你可以到达城市的任何地方。

公共汽车干净，配有空调，速度快，效率也很高。公共交通很便宜。另外，你也可以下载应用程序来帮忙。

I have not lived in Shanghai, so I cannot comment as a resident.

While on the trips I’ve been on to Shanghai, the most common forms of public transportation I’ve seen are the Shanghai Metro and the metropolitan bus network. There are also taxs and bike shares I believe (I might be wrong on this one).

But… Since I was mainly on private tour group bus, it’s hard to say accurately, nonetheless, based on my observation it was the listed methods above. Shanghai should be a relatively easy city to get around, especially seeing that it’s one heck of a metropolis.

我不住在上海，所以我无法作为居民来评论。

我去过上海几次，最经常看到的公共交通方式是上海地铁和公交车系统。我相信还有出租车和共享单车。

但是……由于我主要乘坐的是私人旅游团巴士，很难说得很准确，不过根据我的观察，就是上述哪几种交通方式。上海应该是一个出行很方便的城市。

Eeco Zhong, lived in Shanghai

Very convenient! I will say it’s one of the best in the world. Both metro and bus lines can send you almost every where in Shanghai. You can also call tax. It’s also the best in the world and unbelievable cheap compared with European cities.

非常方便！我会说它是世界上最方便的城市之一。地铁和公交线路几乎可以把你送到上海的任何一个地方。你也可以打出租车，同样是世界上最棒的，与欧洲城市相比，便宜得令人难以置信。

subway will take you basically everywhere. you can add a metro card to your wallet (IOS ).

If you have wechat or Alipay ID, you can download bike (mobike or OFO apps), you are ready to fly.

Yes, you do need a local phone card to use these apps.

You will find Tax cost is acceptable, but traffic, like most big cities, can be a problem.

Truth is, I only drive to/from work/home. The rest of time, subway and bike.

地铁基本上会把你送到任何地方。您可以在您的钱包（iOS）中添加一张地铁卡。

如果你有微信或支付宝账号，你可以下载自行车（摩拜或OFO应用程序）随时可以使用。

是的，你需要一个本地手机卡来使用这些应用程序。

你会发现出租车车费是可以负担得起的，但是交通情况就像大多数大城市一样，可能是个问题。

事实上，我只开车上/下班。其他时间我会搭乘地铁或骑自行车。

Ge Zening, Global traveler and business executive for 15 years.

Shanghai’s public transportation is quite modern (compared to Beiing’s antiquate Subway Line 1 and 2). Majority of subway lines are commissioned after 2000 and surface transportation network has been constantly evolving with the latest battery powered buses covering most of the city area. Since I don’t patron buses, so cannot say much about them. But they look new and well maintained and most of them seem to be air conditioned.

Subway network is quite extensive and if you live or work with 1 km radius of a station, you really don’t have to own a car at all. Right now, you can use ApplePay to ride subway, so you don’t have to carry that old stored value card around.

Having said that, one annoyance of riding subway in China (everywhere indeed) is the security check at every station. Since the original design of a station’s layout did not consider this kind of high level security inspection, it could get very crowded during rush hours or at a train station, so expect long lines. My suggestion, unless absolutely necessary, don’t carry anything when riding subway, so you don’t have to wait in the line for your bags to be scanned, instead, you can proceed directly to the body scanner.

上海的公共交通相当现代化（与北京老旧的地铁1号线和2号线相比）。大部分地铁线路于2000年后投入运营，地面运输网络也在不断发展，最新的电力公交车覆盖了城市大部分地区。它们看起来很新，而且维护得很好，而且大部分看起来都有空调。

地铁网络相当庞大，如果你居住或工作的地方距离车站在1公里以内，你根本不需要买车。现在，你还可以使用ApplePay乘坐地铁，无需随身携带旧的储值卡。

话虽如此，在中国乘坐地铁的烦恼之一是每个车站的安检。由于原来的车站布局设计没有考虑这种高规格的安全检查，所以在交通高峰期或在火车站可能会非常拥挤，大排长龙。我的建议是，除非绝对必要，乘坐地铁时不要携带任何东西，这样你就不必排队等候行李扫描，而是直接进行身体扫描。

Don Johnson, lives in Shanghai

I've lived in both New York and Shanghai. Here's my take:

Subway:

• The Shanghai subway is brand new, cleaner and quieter. Stations are air conditioned, there are glass walls so people can't fall onto the tracks. By any reasonable metric it's a better ride, but it hasn't developed much character. The Shanghai subway is like a late model Hyundai, cheaply built but clean and new. The New York subway is like a classic old Packard whose owner puts a lot of work into it.
• The Shanghai subway stops running by between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m., depending on the station, which is hugely lame; the New York subway runs 24/7/365.
• I disagree that the Shanghai subway is a lot more crowded than the NYC subway - I would say in general it's 10% to 50% more crowded. You're less likely to get a seat, but real jamming usually only happens on certain lines at rush hour.
• The Shanghai subway is still getting built out! Lines 12 and 16 and and extension of line 11 appeared last year, Line 13 this year! In general, coverage in the core area of the city is excellent and even in the suburbs is pretty good.

我在纽约和上海都住过。下面是我的看法：

地铁：

• 上海地铁是全新的，更干净、更安静。车站装有空调，有玻璃围栏，所以人们不会掉到铁轨上。不管以哪个合理的标准来衡量，这都是更好的乘坐方式，但是没什么个性。上海地铁就像现代汽车的新车型，造价低廉，又干净又新。纽约地铁就像一个经典的老派卡德，它的主人得投入大量的工作。
• 上海地铁在晚上10:00到11:00之间停止运行，具体实践根据车站而定，这是很大的不足；而纽约地铁在365天从早到晚全年无休运行。
• 我不认为上海的地铁比纽约的地铁拥挤很多，我觉得一般情况下也就拥挤10%到50%。你不太可能找到座位，但真正的拥挤通常只发生在交通高峰期的某些线路上。
• 上海地铁还在建设中！去年建成了12号、16号线以及11号线的延伸线，今年建成了13号线！总的来说，城市核心区域的覆盖率非常好，甚至郊区也相当不错。

Buses

• The Shanghai bus system is very extensive but quite difficult to navigate, even for locals but especially if you don't read Chinese. The buses announce stops in English, but bus stop signage is Chinese only.

Taxs

• Taxs in Shanghai are much cheaper than NYC and easy to find, except at rush hour or in the rain. Drivers don't speak English so be prepared.

公车

• 上海公交系统非常庞大，但很难导航，即使对当地人来说也不太容易，特别是你不懂中文的话。公交车会用英语播报停靠车站，但公交车站牌上只有中文。

出租车

• 上海的出租车比纽约市便宜得多，而且除了高峰期或雨天，更容易拦到车。司机不会说英语，所以你得做好准备。

Other

• As User mentioned there are ferries across the Huangpu at the Bund. More for character than as serious transportation.
• The world's fastest public transportation, the Maglev, will take you from Pudong airport to a transfer station in Pudong at 250 mph! Again not always that useful as transportation, but a must do if you're visiting.

Payment

• RMB 2 for a bus, 3-5 for the subway depending on where you're going.
• You can get a stored value card that can be used on the subway, buses (including airport buses), ferries and taxs. But it's not cheaper, and there's a 30RMB deposit that's really hard to get back. I heard a weekly or weekend pass was going to be introduced, but I don't think it has been yet.

其他

• 正如其他用户提到过的，黄浦外滩有渡轮。但更多的是种特色而非正儿八经的交通方式。
• 世界上最快的公共交通工具——磁悬浮列车，会以每小时250英里的速度把你从浦东机场带到浦东的中转站！再说一遍，交通工具并不总是那么有用，但如果你去旅游的话，是不可缺少的东西。

支付

• 乘公交车2元，地铁3-5元，根据你的目的地而定。
• 你可以买张储值卡，在地铁、公交车（包括机场巴士）、渡轮和出租车上使用。但是并没有折扣，而且30元的押金很难退回。我听说会推出周卡或周末通行证，但现在还没有
