Decision tree
Pudong Airport ↔ Longyang Road is Maglev’s only segment. After Longyang you still need Line 2 into Jing'an / Bund / People's Square. Tight time or big bags: Maglev helps; loose time and saving money: Line 2 through is enough. Do not ride for top-speed thrills then rebound to the airport — that is not a travel axis. Fares and timetable follow that day; ordinary metro tickets do not cover it.
