Mobile WebSiteSince its opening on December 2, 2020, T388 Road has been in operation for one year. This inter-city dedicated line, known as "the longest pure electric bus line in the country," is a new development path that the Changchun and Yushu passenger transport groups have jointly explored based on the people's livelihood. It has not only set a model for the successful transformation of the bus passenger transport industry, but also achieved The "double harvest" of social and environmental benefits paints a happy picture of the people's beautiful travel.
Adapt to changes in travel and join hands to build a "two-city economic circle"
Changchun and Yushu are both located in the hinterland of the Songliao Plain. The unique geographical environment and transportation advantages bring opportunities for the development of the two places and surrounding cities and the flow of people. The Changchun Line is one of the most active passenger lines in the local area. However, with the changes in travel modes and the escalation of travel demand, this prosperous inter-city route once faced challenges.
According to Wang Haoran, Chairman of Changchun Highway Passenger Transport Group, “Before the opening of the T388 bus line, our company also had a passenger line from Changchun to Yushu. At that time, the vehicles were fuel vehicles. With the impact of online ride-hailing, the passenger flow of the Changyu line has gradually declined since 2016. By 2018, this line can only run 7 or 8 times a day, and the company's economic benefits have been severely damaged."The same predicament also happened to the Yushu City Passenger Transport Group. “The decline in passengers is a small part of the reason, the most important is the diversion of passengers.” said Wang Tiefeng, chairman of the Yushu Passenger Transport Group. Years later, this line has been completely paralyzed."
In the face of the new situation and new demands, how to adapt to the development trend and better serve the public in public travel is a test of the wisdom of bus passengers in the two places. After careful analysis and research, the two parties decided to jointly transform, change the line operation to a public transportation operation, and adopt new energy pure electric buses.
Know the people need to solve the people's worries, the people's livelihood project ushered in "good people's voice"
T388 Road opened for only one year, saving trouble, time, money, worry... Such words frequently appear in the mouths of passengers. According to Wang Tiefeng, the reason why the masses approve is because the real benefits have been obtained.
"I used to take a bus for more than 4 hours from Changchun to Yushu. I wanted to hurry up and I could only take the train. But there were only 3 fixed trains a day, and sometimes I couldn't make it." Passenger Mr. Wang told reporters, "T388 Lutong After that, I can walk anytime, anywhere, the journey is shortened to two and a half hours, and the bus leaves every 20 minutes. I can go back to Changchun the same day I finish my work. It's so convenient!"
Ms. Liu, who was queuing to board the bus at the North Square of Changchun Station, also said: “I am going back to Yushu to visit the elderly. I often take this bus. The bus is very comfortable to sit on. The key is that the fare is much cheaper. 50 yuan, now only 35 yuan, three or four trips a week can save 100 yuan."
"I work in Changchun and my home is in Yushu. Now I often take the T388 bus. It is very convenient and fast to sit." Passenger Zhang said, "Before, I went back only once a week, and now I can go back every day!"
The sense of gain and happiness brought by the Changyu bus line to the people can be seen and heard. It is precisely because of the desire to make the people go better and satisfied, the connection between Changyu and Yucheng has become closer, and the development of public transport and passenger transport enterprises has become more stable, and the "double harvest" of social and economic benefits has been truly realized.
"After the opening of T388, it has solved the travel problems that the people of Changchun and Yushu are most concerned about. At the same time, it has brought a new leap in the development of public transport and passenger transportation in the two places. The enterprise has really benefited from this route, and it has also truly gained Certain economic benefits." Wang Tiefeng said, our next plan is to use this line to transform some of the surrounding lines into lines like T388.
Lines return to busy, pure electric buses make great contributions
fell and was full of vitality. Today, the average daily passenger flow of T388 Road can reach 4,000 people, and it can reach 6,500 people during holidays. It has recovered or even surpassed the peak period before the line's public transportation transformation. The successful operation of T388 Road is inseparable from the real efforts of Changchun Passenger Transport and Yushu Passenger Transport in service and management.
According to Wang Haoran, after the two companies jointly established a line company, they will operate together on the line, unified accounting, unified purchase of vehicles, unified scheduling, and the effect is very good. "We chose Yutong pure electric bus in the inspection market. The quality is still very good, reliable and complete after-sales service guarantee, which is very popular with passengers."
"Compared to fuel vehicles, pure electric buses have very obvious advantages. In terms of power consumption, each vehicle can save about 200 yuan per day, and there is basically no maintenance cost. At the same time, the vehicle attendance rate can reach 100%. This has been done for many years. , Can greatly reduce operating costs." Wang Tiefeng said frankly, "We have roughly calculated an account based on the daily average passenger flow of 4,200, and the fare is 35 yuan per ticket. It operates 360 days a year and has 52 pure electric buses. Annual operating income can exceed 50 million yuan!"
"Yutong's pure electric buses have high technological content, which provides great guarantee for safe, high-quality and efficient operation." Wang Haoran also said, "At the same time, Yutong's pure electric buses have obvious advantages in the whole life cycle cost, which is also a boost to this. An important support point for the success of the route reform and the realization of transformation and upgrading."
Wang Haoran revealed: “Next, we will transform all eligible trains into public transportation, and take actions to make greater contributions to the economic development of Changchun and its surrounding areas.”
Today, T388 Road has become an important link connecting Changyu and Changyu. It not only shortens the time and space distance between the two places, but also becomes an important epitome of the people's beautiful travel.
