Adjusted bus route facilitates rural passengers

A special rural passenger transport line from Shangpu village, Jinhua town, Guanshanhu district, Guiyang, to Beidaziyuan Dream City officially commenced operations on Aug 26, aiming to address the transportation shortcomings of rural areas and boost the development of industrial parks around the village.

In May this year, industrial parks near Shangpu village began operating successively. However, due to the lack of public transportation networks in the vicinity, commuting for industrial park workers was inconvenient.

In response to the travel needs of industrial park employees and village residents, Guanshanhu's transportation bureau coordinated with Guizhou Qianyun Group Co's Guanshanhu Branch to optimize and adjust the original bus route from Guiyang North Station to Jinyang Passenger Station.

The adjusted route includes 13 stops, with a tiered fare structure ranging from 2 yuan ($0.28) to 5 yuan for the entire journey. During the trial operation period, the service hours are from 7:30 am to 6 pm, with buses running in a loop every half an hour.

Initially, six vehicles are being deployed for the trial operation, and further optimizations of operating hours and stops will be made based on passenger flow.
