What is the experience of living in the city and taking the free bus?

With the increase in the number of cars in big cities, buses and subways have gradually become the mainstream means of transportation. Many people with cars will choose to drive to the nearest subway station and take the subway to work, or take the bus to work directly.

Because the cost of taking the bus every day is not small, let me take myself for example. Just going to work by bus every day needs nearly 5 yuan's money, plus 10 yuan for one day after work, one month is probably the cost of 300 yuan. This is a big expense for office workers, but friends who live in Changning will not have such troubles.

Changning is a county-level city in Hunan Province, which is managed by Hengyang City. It is located in the south-central part of Hunan Province. Changning is not big, only 2046 square kilometers, only about1100,000 people. The development of Changning is also slightly average, and the city's GDP is only over 30 billion. However, Changning also has its own bright spots. This is the first free bus city in China and the longest one.

This matter has to start from 2008. In July, 2008, a government announcement resounded all over China, that is, public transportation is free, no matter where you get on or off, as long as it is a bus, it is free. At first, this announcement was not optimistic. Even many locals thought that Changning would only be implemented for one and a half years at most, but what people didn't expect was that it had been 12 years.

The mayor of Changning said: since it has been done, it must be done to the end. It is reported that since the opening of free bus in Changning, the average daily passenger capacity has increased by nearly 4.7 times. To this end, Changning had to slowly increase the number of vehicles put into operation. Although the more vehicles put into operation, it is convenient for the masses, but there are also many economic problems.

From the beginning to the present, Changning has 50 vehicles in operation every day, with an average daily passenger traffic of more than 90,000 passengers and an annual passenger traffic of about 33 million passengers. If a passenger counts one yuan, it will save the public about 33 million a year, which is not a small sum. If it is good for one or two years, it is really not easy to keep the bus free for ten years.

In fact, Changning has been maintaining? Passengers first? On the bus platform in Changning, we often see many slogans, such as? Service is the lifeline of free bus? And so on, many uncles and aunts who live in Changning also said that free public transportation is the most concerned thing for the citizens, and this is the real practical thing for the people.

Many netizens who have questioned have also expressed their guilt and said that it is worth learning! Nowadays, free public transportation is not a unique phenomenon in Changning. At present, many cities in China have implemented free public transportation. Although they are all small cities, talking is better than nothing. Of course, learning is the best.

So, can big cities implement it? This may not be possible. Nowadays, big cities, especially some first-tier cities, are crowded when going to work every day even when charging. Once the bus is free, it will definitely cause different degrees of traffic congestion, and traffic charges will also increase the income of bus drivers. That's understandable.

But this is only for now. Maybe in the future, our country will develop to a certain extent, and the bus and subway will be as free as the expressway. Of course, this is a little early, but it is not impossible. After all, our country is a socialist country, and Israel is almost the same now.
