Hi I'm staying near shanghai university. are there any buses going in to the downtown city.

The university has three campuses, Shangda Road campus, Yanchang Campus and Jiading campus.

The campus located at No. 99 of Shangda Road has easy access to the SH University subway station on line 7, it is about 100 yards walking distance from the campus to the Exit 2 of the subway station. You can take the subway to go to downtown area. The service hours of this line is 05:32 – 22:32.

The Yanchang campus is near the Yanchang Road subway station on line 7, and distance from the north gate of the campus is about 320 yards to the Exit 2 of the subway station. This subway line can also lead you to the downtown area. The service hours of this line is 05:55 – 22:55.

From the campus, you can take the bus Jiahua special line to Zhaohu Station. Then walk to Jiading North station, where you can take the subway line 11 to the downtown area. The service hours of this line is 05:38 – 21:50.
