Airport Line 9 is an airport bus that connects directly to Pudong Airport with Xinzhuang . Since its opening in August 2016, Yuan Tongshao has been looking for an opportunity to take it.
Once Yuan Tongjia came back from a business trip to Pudong Airport. It happened that it was rush hour, and there were only one person, not many luggage, and there were too many people taking taxis and didn’t want to transfer to the subway, so he planned to take the airport line 9 to try it.
Yuan Tongshao arrived at the airport line 9 waiting point at 6 o'clock, right between the two terminals, the instructions were clearer. I went downstairs and thought I was going to walk to the end, but later I found that the airport line 9 was on the side of the airport line 2. After waiting for about 20 minutes, the bus arrived, the very grand Black King Kong series airport bus.
Airport Line 9 bus, the suitcase is on the lower side of the carriage, Yuan Tong's shoes are taken by himself.
The driver gets off the car and opens the suitcase next to it. Passengers with large luggage can put the large luggage out of the car.
just got on the bus and bought a ticket through the ticket seller's card (22 yuan), and the driver would play the broadcast "This line passes through the highway. For your safety, please fasten your seat belt." Yuan Tongjia tried the seat belt. It was not a decoration, and it was more convenient to use. It was stricter than the safety measures of the airport line seven on the Central Ring Line + ground. For safety reasons, Yuan Tongshao strongly recommends that you should wear a seat belt .
The car that left at 6:20 pm and arrived at the North Square of Xinzhuang Metro Station at 7:10 50 minutes later. It was still during the evening rush hour ( Gaode Map is expected to take 55 minutes, and the driver drove the average speed of Gaode Map. Yuan Tongshao used to take the airport line 7, because it had to take a section of ground road, and the stopover was stopped in the middle, so there was no speed advantage at present). It has to be said that after Disney opened, the outer ring expressway is more likely to be congested than in the past, especially in the Pudong section. Whether it is taking a taxi or driving by yourself, if you go to Pudong Airport through the Outer Ring Expressway from Xinzhuang, be sure to reserve enough time.
There were a total of 11 passengers on the bus that Yuan Tongshao took, which was absolutely empty, and one person was in a row, which was more than enough.
There is an uncle who is the leader of a travel agency who often takes it. He said that this is much more comfortable than the subway, and he will go at least twice less to transfer, "I will arrive after a sleep."
When Yuan Tongshao was riding, he opened the Gaode Map speed measurement, because the maximum speed limit of most sections of the outer ring expressway is 100 kilometers (the speed limit of some sections is 80 kilometers), which is wider than the Central Ring Road and is absolutely faster, which is much faster than Yuan Tongshao taking to the airport line 7 of Shanghai South Station .
Airport Line 9 is definitely fast among several airport buses, Yuan Tongshao Gaode map screenshot.
. Another friend took Airport Line 9 from Xinzhuang to Pudong Airport, but he did not encounter traffic jam. It is said that he only used for 40 minutes for the whole journey and went early . Yes, you read that right, in the early 40 minutes, Xinzhuang to Pudong Airport.
The starting point of Xinzhuang North Square, Airport Line 9, is located at Xinjian East Road Baocheng Road (temporary station, after Xinzhuang Tianhui is completed, it will be moved to the new Xinzhuang Metro Bus Hub Station). On the southeast side of Greenland Blue Ocean Building, it is the same starting point as buses such as 173, 189, 708, and Xinhong Express. It is basically on the Xinzhuang Overpass, and it is about 7 to 8 minutes away from Exit 1 of Xinzhuang Metro Station North.
The Xinzhuang starting point station on Airport Line 9 is located on the east side of the north square of Xinzhuang Metro Station, under the Xinzhuang Interchange in the southeast of the Green Land and Blue Ocean Building.
Airport Line 9 Xinzhuang North Plaza is 6:00-21:30; Pudong International Airport first and last flights are Terminal 1: 7:00-23:00, and 7:05-23:05, Terminal 2 is 7:05-23:05. The current interval is 45 minutes, and the rush hour interval is 30 minutes.
Yuan Tongsho believes that after the airport line 9 and other bus routes such as 173, 189, and 708 are introduced into the new transportation hub of Xinzhuang Tianhui TOD TOWN, passengers are expected to increase in passenger flow. Songjiang and Fengxian can also take the airport line 9.
Airport Line 9 is the fastest public transportation between Pudong Airport and Xinzhuang hub, no doubt about it.
Of course, the "bus real-time arrival" in the official account in Shanghai has no information on Airport Line 9 (and Airport Line 7 has it). Yuan Tongjia also hopes to add real-time arrival information on Airport Line 9 in the future.
