The physical tranfer means that passengers should exit from the subway station and take a free connection bus to another subway line. The virtual transfer means that the transfer could be finished in the subway station. Usually, it is suggested that you choose the second method, which saves money although take a little longer time.

From Qibao station, you cold take metro Line 9 to Xujiahui station and then transfer to Line 1 to Shanghai Circus World directly.

Some trains of subway Line 1 will stop at Shanghai Railway Station. So, you should notice the notice on the electric screens set on the platform.
