Following the important guideline that developing public transport represents the direction of modern urban development, Guiyang Public Transport Co remains committed to bettering people's livelihoods, as it strives to deliver improved public transport services.
Farmers from Wudang district used to face a raft of safety risks when travelling to sell their vegetables in the city. Guiyang Public Transport focused on tackling existing challenges and reached out to six villages along the route, surveying more than 700 farm households and over 2,000 residents in the process to launch the farmer-friendly special bus line 252.
This bus route linking urban and rural areas has become a "happiness express" that helps farmers in Wudang district boost their income. As of August, it has run 720 trips, carrying nearly 45,000 farmers and transporting more than 1,300 metric tons of fruit and vegetables.
The company has scaled up proven practices across the full scope of services. Earlier this year, the agricultural-benefit shuttle route to Laping village, Xiaba town in Wudang was launched.
Meanwhile, its operating subsidiaries have introduced various shuttle services, including services for construction workers, school students, and rural tourism, thereby improving the intercity bus network.
The company will optimize the urban-rural bus route network, striving to build a safe, convenient, efficient, green, and economical urban public transport system, fueling high-quality regional development.
