China Daily  

Passengers wait on the platform at Zhongchun Road station of a rail line linking the two major airports in Shanghai on Friday. Shanghai unveiled a high-speed rail link between its two major airports on Friday, reducing transit time between the city's aviation hubs to just 40 minutes. Prior to the airport link's launch, transiting between Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong International Airport via the metro took around 1 hour and 40 minutes. Designated one of 11 pilot metropolitan rail corridors nationally, the airport link is Shanghai's first independently invested, constructed and operated metropolitan line adhering to mainline railway specifications. "It links Pudong International Airport more conveniently to the broader Yangtze Delta region, ties together Shanghai's two major aviation hubs allowing better coordination, and provides new accessibility for the city's southern districts."
