For a unique experience, take the magnetic levetation train from Pudong to the airport. This is about a 10-15 minute taxi ride from Grand Hyatt, St. Regis or Shangri-La and the train itself takes but 8 minutes to the airport once you hit the 400 km per hour top speed. Fun.

get yourself a Shanghai Public Transportation Card (costs 30 RNB) which you can top up at most metro stations in Shanghai. It's a lot more convenient as you don't need to buy a single ticket each time you use public transport. It also works on buses and taxis

If you're on your own in Shanghai, don't forget to ask the hotel front desk to write down your destination in Chinese to show the cab driver since they don't understand English. Always bring your hotel card so you can show the cab driver where to bring you back.
