CONVENIENT SHUTTLE SERVICE TO PUDONG – June 1st, 2016
I am really happy to bring you this news!
The CHANGZHOU COACH STATION has stepped up and recognized the importance of providing a consistent and convenient shuttle service for its citizens going to Pudong International Airport. There will also be a service going to Nanjing Lukou International airport.
A prior private service shuttle while having the right idea, didn’t quite make the mark because of restrictions in number of departure and arrival times.
The START UP plan is to have 6 different departure and arrival times carrying passengers on a 34- seat vehicle the 250 kilometers between Changzhou and Pudong, taking an estimated 4 hours (depending on traffic – of course). The Changzhou City Terminal is located (North / or Central) on the second floor of the Changzhou Coach Station (next to the Changzhou Railway Station). It occupies some 1200 square meters. Cost per ticket will be 130 RMB per person and 80 RMB per child.
DEPARTURE TO PUDONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:
5:10am,
6:20am,
10:00am,
12:00pm (noon)
2:20pm
6:00pm
DEPARTURE TO CHANGZHOU FROM AIRPORT – Airport Bus Station between Terminal T1 and Terminal T2:
9:40am,
10:40am,
3:05pm,
5:05pm,
7:40pm,
8:20pm
Consider the reality now – for foreigners taking international flights you need 3 hours prior to the flight for check in procedures, the earliest arrival time for the shuttle to the airport is about 9am. Your flight therefore should have a departure time of noon or after.
Changzhou citizens can handle ALL the check-in procedures at the CZ City Terminal prior to boarding the shuttle.
Passengers can buy the shuttle tickets at the ticket office of Changzhou Coach Station, the official website of Changzhou Coach Station (http://www.czqcz.cn/), you can also call (0519-88880012). However there is NO ENGLISH available on the site.
For now you can either go to the Ticket office to purchase tickets or you can download the Coach APP, which is at present completely in Chinese. So perhaps a friend can help with that convenience.
