    Hello!

    What public transportation is available in Shanghai? Is it easy to move about the cities and Shanghai at large? What modes of transport are available: Bus? Underground/Subway? Trams? Trains?

    Do you use public transportation in Shanghai? Can you recommend it? Is it safe, inexpensive, and reliable? What is your experience? How much is a basic fare? Is there a monthly card, or discount options?

    Thank you for sharing your tips, questions and advice!

    Public transport is not bad in Shanghai.
    - Subway cover most of the city.
    - Very safe. In fact the whole city is pretty safe.
    - Very cheap.
    - Reliable? yes most of the time, but not up to the standards of Hong Kong or Singapore.
    - No monthly card. A prepaid, rechargable card is available.

    Subway + taxi will get you just about anywhere very cost effectively, except when it rains and it becomes impossible to get a cab!
