Bus convinient than train for a trip of Shanghai-Hangzhou? |
|
|
I am looking for the times for buses as I think they would be more convenient than train times from Shanghai to Hangzhou and return. Is there any kind of bus schedule web site? Thank you. |

during this tour ,I'm not sure that buses will be more convenient. There are plenty of trains every day between Shanghai and Hangzhou. It takes about 2 hours to get there. I don't know if buses will be faster. I've done the trip 2 times and it never occured to me to take a bus, because trains are so convenient. |

There are buses every 30 or 40 mimutes between hangzhou and Shanghai and I think buses are more convinient and comfortable.
But taking trains would be cheaper of course and actually I think taking trains is not bad if you have time...

It seems indeed there are plenty of buses from Shanghai to Hangzhou, departing from various places (try long distance bus station at shanghai stadium for example, but there are many more, there are even direct buses to Hangzhou from the 2 airports). Time is about the same as with the train : approx. 2 hours, as long as there are not too many traffic jams  . Price is higher than the train, should be around 50-70 RMB. Your choice : depends which one you like more : bus or train. |

I only found one train time listed on the train schedule site I found and it was 03:33 which is why I thought the bus might be better.
I think both bus and train take same time, but I would like to find a morning one to Hangzhou from Shanghai and late afternoon one back to Shanghai. I can't find a time table. Obviously I also want to know which station I will need to go to.
Thanks for all the information. |
