Shanghai Metro; All you need to know, including accessibility information

[@antgo2975]

Good content. It would be nice if KZbin algorithm promotes more small channels and and less BS/baitclick/ads channels. I learned a lot about Shanghai with your videos.

[@seraphium]

I am Chinese and living in Shanghai too, I watched almost all your videos.

[@bigmantrue1]

Very good!

[@ExploreWithMohamed]

fantastic video, thanks for giving us brillant insight into the Shanghai Metro.

[@sorakagodess]

i wass missing your metro videos, love them so much, i would love if you could make another one on boats and feries

[@JerryZ-mw4gs]

Your content is pretty informative! But there's still one thing - be sure to check which line is for the single train as a bunch of stations on line 3 and 4 is incorporated. That is Both line is available on the same platform, tricky though

[@timmytumbler]

This is true, however there is the information board, numbers on the train and usually they are colour coded also.

[@seraphium]

A reminder to all viewers again: When transferring from metro to bus, or bus to bus, or bus to metro within two hours, you will get a 1-CNY discount, the maglev or the ferry are not included. If you cost more than 70-CNY on metro within a month, you will get an extra 10% discount everytime when taking a metro in the month.

[@timmytumbler]

very helpful, thanks, I should have remembered to put these details into the video

[@sslee153]

Thanks for the very useful information

[@BeijingBuzzz-China-Travel]

So 25 years from zero to world's largest metro !!

[@michaelk4865]

Excellent information, thank you Tim.

Is it possible to use the Alipay app with the metro qr code to ride all the metro lines including Maglev ? Thanks

[@timmytumbler]

Metro yes, Maglev no, but can buy ticket from machine with Alipay

[@escritora84]

Thank you for this! I'm going to Shanghai for a cruise in September, and was looking at the metro as a possible option to get to my hotel. Do you find the Shanghai metros luggage-friendly?

[@martinxu4499]

And all transportation card with China T-Union mark can be used in almost cities in China.

[@jogana6909]

Shanghai Metro is the best

[@regophil]

When you are new to a big metro city like New York, Shanghai... you need a few days to get used to the system that is there. After that, you will be doing ok.

[@annieong7452]

Thanks for making this video. I am a wheelchair user. Watch many videos on shanghai. Have been trying to find out does metro have lift.

[@timmytumbler]

They do, and claim 100% do, but many old line stations like 1-5 have them behind locked doors, but staff will be helpful.

[@TaraMC16]

Thank you so much, this was most informative for my upcoming business trip. Can I use cash to purchase a metro card from the machine? Or would I have to go to the desk?

[@timmytumbler]

You can use cash, coins without a doubt and trips are usually 3-6 rmb, single ticket machines do take notes but can be fickle

[@qkx-yx8qe]

Some machines might not support cash service, but most do; you can always purchase one at the desk.

[@vickiwright3312]

What is RMB - payment currency?

[@sylviasun3179]

Hi.. In 2 months I will visit Shanghai, can I still pay cash at the machine? Or all paymeny have to use Alipay/ wechatpay ? I was very surprised that everyone said couldn't pay cash at all to buy MRT ticket. Is that true? Bcoz in your video, still pay cash to buy ticket in machine. Are all cities in China not able to use cash? I am very doubtful and I really need information about this. Thanks adnvance

[@timmytumbler]

You can still pay cash at the machine, and still pay cash at the desk to get a Shanghai Transportation card for multiple trips, however, there are indeed less machines, but they are still there.

[@qkx-yx8qe]

At present there are some machines that does not fully support cash service (for example, that one at 12:11 in this video); some people might be unlucky. However, cash payment is bound to be available at the service desk; in fact there is a regulation in China: "Except in cases where non-cash payment instruments shall be used in accordance with the law, no unit or individual may refuse to accept cash."

[@lukeecle117]

Is Shanghai Metro better than that of New York and Mumbai ?

[@sanimgurung87]

Mumbai hahaha its not even a comparable.

[@chestnutridge4187]

No, Mumbai is the best in the entire universe. How dare you compare it with Shanghai and/or New York!

[@xlegendairetv]

@@chestnutridge4187 objectively Shanghai metro is way better than Mumbai

[@kerryewan2109]

😂😂😂

[@bobbybannerjee5156]

A bit irrelevant perhaps, but China seems centuries ahead of the west. And millennia ahead of my third world country, india. I would recommend no one to inspect our country's metro system after you have watched this video.

[@timmytumbler]

Thanks, I have done an India video, search for it on my channel, it was of a relatively recent metro line in Noida

[@iamwavingnotdrowning]

"Contacting the service staff"... Oh yeah, nobody speaks English. And dont forget to mention the obnoxious security scan at every entrance that forbids any knives, spray (deodorant etc). Good luck if you bought a kitchen knife, you have to walk home. Oh nooo I forgot. In order to buy a kitchen knife you have to show your valid Chinese ID or passport... ahh.. life is good in the middle kingdom
