2. Metro
The cheapest option is Metro Line 2, which, wheeling past Hongqiao Railway Station and on beyond 28 stops to Pudong Airport itself, takes around ninety minutes for pretty much the standard fare of eight yuan, whose seats are petite and racks for luggage are at a premium but where the carriages clunk along with reassuring regularity and stations are helpfully announced; this is no bad introduction to crossing the city.
3. Airport Bus
Airport Bus Line 1 leaves from the rail hub and goes east on the expressway, arriving at Pudong terminals in about an hour and ten minutes for thirty-six yuan; a bus pulls out every fifteen to twenty-five minutes from just after dawn until late evening, offering budget-facing travelers spacey seats, plentiful luggage hold and breezy windows over which to watch Shanghai skyline flux.
4. Taxi
A taxi lined up outside the station forecourt will get you out to Pudong in about fifty minutes, though morning and evening rush hours can easily double that; figure on two hundred to three hundred yuan on the meter, plus any tolls, but there's no other way of taking a family or big bags door-to-door with such comfort and space.

Ride-hailing apps like DiDi allow you to call a waiting executive sedan or even an MPV at the arrival point of high-speed rail, which, besides tracking drivers down in real-time and paying electronically, spares you the trouble queuing for a taxi; the duration is equivalent to private hire (one hour) with fares ranging between one hundred and eighty and two hundred and fifty yuan depending on supply and demand, with promotional vouchers generally lower than cab levels.
