Quick answer

What are Shanghai Metro Line 2 operating hours and airport connections?

Line 2 links Pudong Airport, central Shanghai and Hongqiao Railway Station, but airport services can have different destinations and may require checking the platform display or a same-line transfer. Operating hours and travel time are not one fixed value for every trip: use the station guide for the exact origin, destination and direction, then check the official timetable before an early flight or late arrival.

Key stops include Pudong Airport, Longyang Road, Lujiazui, People’s Square and Hongqiao Railway Station.
Airport-bound trains and service patterns should be checked before boarding, especially for late trips.
Travel time and first/last train times depend on the boarding station, direction and service day.
