TAXI:
Taxis in Shanghai cost more than in other Chinese cities, but they are cleaner. You should expect to pay Y10 for the first 2km, and Y1 per kilometre thereafter. A great many taxi drivers are newly employed rural immigrants or workers who have been laid off from old state industries - their frequent confusion in finding their way can make for hazardous driving. In Shanghai all taxis are Volkswagens, and the metallic, light-blue ones are generally the most efficient.
METRO:
Shanghai's single-line metro, built with German assistance, is a couple of years old but it still feels spanking new. Cheap and clean, with trains every few minutes, the metro is a hassle-free way of travelling north to south across the city, at least outside of rush hour, which chsould be avoided. Starting in the subsurbs of the deep south, the metro line runs north past Xujiahui stadium, along trendy Hengshan Lu, switches east down half the length of Huai Hai Lu, before heading north again, stopping at Renmin Square, and ending up at the Shanghai railway station. Stations are marked in English and, with only one line, you can't really get lost. Tickets are purchased from automatic vendors and ticket offices. They come in two types, single-trip and stored value. Single-trip tickets cost Y3 and allows you to travel the length of the line. Stored-value tickets cost Y4 and are good for 13 stops. The first train leaves the south terminal at 5am and the last train departs from the north terminal around 11pm.

BUS:
If you're going to use the bus service in China at all, then use it in Shanghai. Although they're crowded and attract pickpockets, they're fairly clean and reliable, and privately run air-conditioned buses are becoming more common. Fares average out at around Y2, and are paid to the conductor once you have boarded the bus. You can buy a bus map showing all routes from most travel shops, including the China Travel Service. Unfortunately, they only come in Chinese, but when cross-referenced with a bi-lingual tourist map navigation is possible for those unfamiliar with Chinese characters. Monthly passes can be purchased from Wushen Lu bus station. You can also get bus information by calling the tourist transport information hotline on 6250 0000.
