Chongqing: "On-call" response to buses facilitate citizens' travel
Also for buses, Chongqing Liangjiang New District's first response bus line - 3661, has been put into operation a few days ago. The line covers 40 bus stops and provides convenience for citizens' travel with a flexible service model of "On-call".
This small bus with white and green as the main colors is the newly put into operation. Unlike the traditional "fixed point, timed, and fixed route" operation model of buses, in response to buses, they can flexibly plan driving routes in specific areas based on passengers' travel needs. It is as convenient as a taxi, but the price is 2 yuan per hour, and you can also enjoy free transfers, senior citizen cards, student cards and other discounts within 1 hour. Passengers can make an appointment online in advance. The system will intelligently match the vehicle and plan the optimal route. They can also take the route directly at the platform and dynamically adjust the route after informing the driver of the destination.
At present, Chongqing has launched 5 response bus lines, with operating scopes including Chongqing Hi-tech Zone, Liangjiang New District, and Beibei District.
