Connecting Shanghai: NAIS Pudong’s School Bus Network

For international families new to Shanghai, choosing a school often means getting to know the city as well. Where to live, how far the school is from home and how children will travel each day are all practical considerations.
Shanghai is a large and diverse city, and understanding a school’s transport options can help families make informed decisions about where to live and how to plan their daily routines. At NAIS Pudong, our school bus service covers multiple areas across Shanghai, providing transport options for students living in different parts of the city.

Students Come from Across Shanghai
Our students live in many areas, including Xuhui, Jing’an, Huangpu, Minhang, Gubei, Hongqiao, West Bund, the Former French Concession, Lujiazui and beyond.

Whether your family chooses to live in Pudong, Puxi or further from campus, you can explore the school bus routes and designated pick-up and drop-off points available in your area.Living further from school does not necessarily mean a longer daily drive for parents. With a designated school bus stop, students can travel between home and school without requiring parents to make the journey every day.
Making the Daily Journey Easier
For families settling into a new city, establishing a daily routine takes time. A school bus service can reduce the need for parents to drive their children to and from school while providing students with a consistent way to travel between home and campus.
This can be particularly helpful for families living further from school. The distance on a map may seem considerable, but an appropriate bus route can make the journey a manageable part of the school day.

The school bus is more than a way to travel to and from school. It is also part of students’ daily experience at NAIS Pudong.
Students from different neighbourhoods and year groups share the journey to campus, giving them time to catch up with friends, meet new classmates and build connections. For some, friendships begin on the school bus before the school day has even started.
By bringing students together from across Shanghai, the school bus network has become part of the wider NAIS Pudong community.
