Is 29 minutes enough for a transfer at Shanghai Hongqiao?

The transfer time at Shanghai Hongqiao Station is only 29 minutes, which is usually enough under normal circumstances. At present, many stations including but not limited to Shanghai Hongqiao Station have implemented dedicated transfer channels. After getting off the train, find the platform sign that says "Transfer", follow the platform sign to enter the waiting hall, find the ticket gate for the transfer train and wait for ticket inspection.

It is understood that there may be a situation where there is not enough time during the change, which is mostly caused by taking the wrong channel. Some passengers follow the majority of passengers through the underground passage to exit the station. At this time, they often need to go through security again to enter the station, which will waste a lot of time.

It is recommended that passengers check their luggage in advance before getting off the train when they need to transfer, and look for signs or ask staff for the specific transfer route as soon as possible after exiting the station, so as to avoid wasting time due to trivial matters such as left-behind luggage.
