To improve travel convenience for expo attendees, the Shanghai Hongqiao International Central Business District (CBD) has launched a free underground shuttle service.
The shuttle line connects the Hongqiao Comprehensive Transportation Hub with the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai, offering a quick and efficient travel option.
Along the way, the Hongqiao Hub Underground Shuttle also links key commercial sites such as Hongqiao Xintiandi, Longfor Hongqiao Paradise Walk, The Gate, Noah Wealth Center, and the Vantone Center, facilitating visitors' shopping experience.

During major exhibitions at the NECC, the shuttle will operate continuously. Stretching about 1.8 kilometers underground, the shuttle operates from the P9 parking lot entrance at Hongqiao Hub to the NECC's East Entrance Hall, with buses running every five minutes. This service reduces the usual 20-minute walk to just six minutes.
Passengers can collect a commemorative ticket with a QR code for scanning, which offers access to a digital guide, commercial amenities, and exclusive discounts along the route.
