Just look for the International services counter after leaving luggage. Present your booking and they'll give you the card. Tell them how much you want to charge it and you're set. Metro is very convenient in Shanghai and easy to use. Thanks
aftrer picking up your luggage, you may exit at the airport lobby and exchange your travel card and top up instantly at the service center. It is super convenient. No need to wait in line to buy tickets.
easy to collect and use. make it easier to take metro and buses. just need to top up value using the new machine, min Y50. Each metro ride is between Y3-Y5 mostly. As comparison to AliPay, AliPay will need good 5G mobile data.
Shanghai Pass is a rechargeable card that can be used in Maglev and metro stations. This is a convenient way to explore the city.
Collection point was conveniently located at the arrival hall. The terms and conditions for refund indicated as a notice at the collection point were outdated, so the customer service staff had to provide verbal explanation. There was a bit of a confusion at the start, but the redemption process was smooth in general. Many attractions such as the North Bund were accessible via metro with the use of the travel pass.
Easy to redeem and can be used on all public bus and metro. The amount left on the card can be refund fully at the same counter, just take escalator down to arrival hall
Very useful. Can use it to take bus and metro. Very easy to redeem at the airport, can refund and take back the full amount that you had topped up
The counter was just outside the airport arrival. It was very convenient since we arrived at 2am but we were able to redeem it immediately and use it in the airport metro.
The counter to redeem the pass was just outside the arrival hall. Topped up RMB100 which was sufficient for our 4 days stay in Shanghai. Used it for Maglev and metro rides. Very convenient instead of buying single journey trips.
Easy redemption process. The counter opens 24/7. Topped up $50 and unused amt was refunded. There is a 5% admin fee for refunds. Card can be reused again for future trips.
