Shanghai Metro
The Shanghai metro is a great system and is expanding all the time. It is already one of the larger metro systems in the world and is both cheap and efficient. cost is between 3 to 6 RMB based on the distance. To go to most locations from Jinqiao will be 4 or 5 RMB (less than $1.). The closest subway stops to our neighborhood are currently Shanghai Science and Technology Museum on Line Two, and the Yunshan Lu stop on Line Six. You can take a taxi or public buses 983 or 987 from school or your apartment to the Science and Technology Museum. Line Two goes from Pudong across the river to Puxi. You can walk to Line Six. It is a 20 minute walk at least. Line Six interchanges with Line Two and Line Four, which makes a loop around the city. The subway can be VERY crowded, so don't plan on using the subway if you have packages to cart or very small children in tow. There are self-service machines at the stations to buy tickets for individual trips. Stored-value Metro cards are available, and may be used for taxis and buses as well as for the subway, so they are very useful. You can purchase them at the Metro stations.
