According to wikipedia,
The line runs from Longyang Road station in Pudong, on the Shanghai subway line 2 to Pudong International Airport. The journey takes 7 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the distance of 30 km. A train can reach 350 km/h (220 mph) in 2 minutes, with the maximum normal operation speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) reached thereafter.
I was so excited bout this Maglev train few weeks before I get the chance to feel the speed of 431km/h .. been mumbling non stop during the journey =p aha! sorrrrry to someone. hehe.
a one-way ticket cost RMB50, but you can get RMB40 if you flash your receipt of airline ticket to the receptionists.. cheap huh? someone told me that it's soooo much cheaper than Japan's bullet train.
this pic taken from wikipedia as well. because that time we were in a rush, so didnt get to take much pics of Maglev Train.
