The old station witnessed the bus journey
Yesterday morning, the sun shone brightly.
It was the first day of the launch of the new bus system in Dongguan city. On that day, the city's automobile transportation company bus terminal, Huali Automobile Transportation Company Guancheng Bus Terminal, Luosha Station, can be parked passenger station, Donghu Garden special line station, Dongcheng Bus Terminal, attached to the city's main mountain public ****-type station, Wanjiang Bus Station, Huangcun Bus Station, Huangcun Shiku Coach Terminal and other 10 witnessed the course of Dongguan public transit bus passenger station was withdrawn. The original into the downtown passenger terminal operation of passenger buses, are diverted to the newly built 6 integrated hub passenger terminal operation. Citizens crowded in the newly launched 6 integrated hub passenger station waiting to get on the bus, while the above 10 bus passenger station is empty, cold and quiet.
Sources from the bus stations said that by early yesterday morning, the handover of all the old and new stations had been completed, and the employees of the old stations had been transferred to new jobs to start new ones.
The withdrawal of the old station, Dongguan citizens, although prepared for the idea, but some people are still not quite adapted. "Our passenger station has been moving "home" since Dec. 21, and I didn't leave there until more than 2 a.m. today." Huali Automobile Transportation Company Guancheng passenger station employees Feng, now in the new "home" high Ba automobile passenger station work. He told reporters: "Although I went to Guancheng passenger station only more than a year, but to leave there, the heart is really reluctant."
Many people around the station told reporters that the most unaccustomed is the popularity of the sudden "evaporation".
They said that before here all night long lively, selling fast food, selling cell phones ...... what people have, convergence of a large number of people. At 00:43 yesterday, the reporter saw that the old station has lost its original bustling and lively, most of the exits have been locked with large locks, leaving only one exit for people to enter and exit.
"We are reluctant to move the station." Li Kaiyun, a barber at the station, told reporters yesterday morning, "The main thing is that there are a lot of people -- looking at it will give us a little confidence, and doing business is most about popularity."
The old station "gone", whether it is to leave regrets or nostalgia, for the future of Dongguan public transportation prospects, people give more is a variety of good expectations.
"These stations out of the realization of Dongguan's external passenger transport system and the city's internal passenger transport system is completely separated, which optimizes the urban public transport business environment, but also greatly reduce the density of vehicles in urban areas, easing traffic pressure in urban areas, Dongguan's public transport history has turned a new page." Dongguan City Transportation Bureau told reporters.
The former bus terminal workers Xiao Chen also held a favorable attitude, he said: "Dongguan public transport big 'face', which shows that Dongguan in progress, this is a good phenomenon."
People's reaction
The kiosk becomes beautiful but flawed
Yesterday was the first day of operation of Dongguan City, the new city buses, bus stops also with the "face", the public has mixed feelings about this.
"Now the bus stop kiosks become beautiful, we like it." This is the reporter in the street to hear the most words. After the "face" of the bus stop pavilion design peculiar, white canopies are umbrella-shaped connection, appear to be rich in modern flavor. An old man thought that the bus stop pavilion with canopy, waiting for the bus people will not worry about the sun and rain, travel is also convenient.
But there are also people who are very critical of the new bus shelters. They say that the design of the bus stop kiosks is not perfect, practical and aesthetically pleasing enough. First, there are very few locations with canopies, more in the city and less in the town. Even in urban areas, not every site is set up with canopy kiosks. For example, Huangsheng hotel, stadium, administrative center of the three connected sites, only the administrative center station is a bus stop with canopy; Second, the new kiosk maintenance work is not in place. Some station booths appear dirty, small ads removal is very incomplete. "Although we know it's hard to do, it's not reasonable to say that the new kiosks that have just been put into use are stained." Mr. Niu said as follows.
Part of the public also think that the bus stop booths "face" is not complete, there are flaws in the design: the canopy is white, the color is not durable, it looks old; canopy area design is too small, encountered in heavy rain, can not play the role of rain; not configure the bench, the lack of "humane taste "
The bus route table has not been replaced, and not set up lighting facilities, so that pedestrians are not easy to recognize at night.
Interviews with the public dissatisfaction with the bus stop kiosks become billboards, "some bus stop kiosks set up too small, the instruction information is not accurate, and then become billboards, which is where the convenience of the people?" The reporter also saw some bus stop kiosks mixed in the billboard group, and the size of the difference, towards the front of the road posted all the ads, and the line logo side on the reverse side, it is easy to be mistaken.
Small highlights
New city bus technology content
Yesterday is the first day of Dongguan bus lines adjusted to start at 11:00 p.m., the reporter came to the newly built and put into use in Dongguan City Bus Terminal to try the new Dongguan city bus.
In Dongguan City Terminal, the reporter saw the spacious station square full of fresh "out" of the brand new city bus. The body of the new city bus is mainly yellow-based, very conspicuous. The reporter boarded the new city bus, the car is clean and tidy, green chairs, yellow handle bar, so that the entire carriage is full of modern flavor, dynamic.
The electronic scrolling screen in front of the car and the device on the driving panel of the GPS positioning system is enough to show that the new city bus technology content. In the interview, Dongguan people on the appearance of the car and body environment and on-board facilities are quite satisfied.
Public tolerance of public transportation adjustments
Dongguan Metrobus opened the first day, many Dongguan citizens are not familiar with the line, bringing some inconvenience to the travel. But in the interview, most of the public gave a considerable understanding of this. Mr. Chen of the Polytechnic Institute, said he came back from Guangzhou early in the morning, although in order to find a car to go a lot of wrong way, but also took the wrong bus, but he still believes that the adjustment of bus routes and station name change will inevitably make some people are not accustomed to, but in the long run, this is a good thing for Dongguan's development and improvement of transportation, as the public should be given positive cooperation and full understanding.
Yao Xian, who waited for an hour on the platform
The line signs are confusing
On the platform, because the new terminus is only a large car road signs, and there is no refinement of each station's route signs, most passengers look up to see the line signs, their faces show some confusion; there are also passengers who simply ask one car at a time, but due to the stewards and drivers are mostly newly recruited, not familiar with the driving routes, the answer is not familiar with the line, the answer is not familiar with the line, the answer is not familiar with the line. The traveling line is not familiar, the answer is mostly disappointing to them. Even the reporter is ready to find all the way back to the car can not be found, although the study for a long time, but the new bus line is still confused.
Driver nearly went the wrong way
Reporters yesterday from the bus terminal to Songshan Lake, the new line K2 car, encountered a small episode: when the city bus to Guangcai City intersection waiting for the green light, the driver suddenly asked the conductor to the direction of travel.
Because it was the first time for the car's crew to go on the road, the driver was unable to answer even after half a day of stammering, and had no choice but to call his cell phone to the dispatch office to ask for the route. Afterwards, we learned that the driver of the car is also the first day of work, for the newly opened this line is not familiar with, coupled with more road repair in Dongguan, K2 route is complex, up and down the route is not consistent, so that the driver big brother "lost".
Reporter's Notes
Change, just the beginning
Yesterday, Dongguan public **** a memorable moment in the history of transportation.
We saw the dilapidated public **** car replaced by a brand new bus, see the brand new stop sign stands, see the modern flavor of the beautiful booth, see the brand new coach passenger station. Heart sighs, Dongguan citizens and the majority of migrant workers are blessed. Dongguan has never been so aware of the important position of public **** transportation in the development of the city, from now on, they will take a big step forward in the development of public **** transportation.
It is time for a change. In the process of rural urbanization, Dongguan's public **** transportation has been letting people quite a criticism: most of the original bus "dirty, messy, poor" situation let people step back, pheasant car hauling passengers in a messy situation makes people worry, the bus station is narrow and unpleasant and Dongguan's city status is seriously inconsistent.
It can be said that the public **** transportation problems are not solved, Dongguan City, the city's image is bound to be damaged, Dongguan City, the pace of building a modern manufacturing city is bound to slow down.
The time for change has finally come! Reporter the first day of public **** traffic camp, heard a lot of praise, many migrant workers tell each other, experience the new bus routes; to and from passengers highly evaluated the new long-distance passenger terminal. But at the same time there are some members of the public a lot of complaints. Some people think that although the station sign is beautiful, but the labeling is not fine enough; some people think that the publicity is not enough, the first day out of the door to find that you can not take the usual bus; some people think that the new bus driver and crew are not familiar with the line, can not accurately answer the passenger's inquiries. More citizens showed tolerance and generosity. They said that on the first day, everything is a new beginning, and it will slowly get better.
We also believe that everything will be fine. But the tolerance of Dongguan citizens deserves to be an incentive for the authorities to keep improving. We can expect, with the increasing number of private cars, Dongguan City, the cycle of traffic congestion will be more and more intense, and the practice of countries around the world has proved that giving priority to the development of public **** transportation is the solution to the city's traffic problems. Now the Dongguan City Government has taken a key step in the comprehensive transportation policy to give priority to the development of public **** transportation, a new public **** transportation network will gradually take shape. But all changes have process, Dongguan's new public **** transportation network service function is still to be worn, the service system has to be further improved.
It must be pointed out that Dongguan City, the priority development of public **** transportation network, is not to limit the use of private cars, but to create good conditions to encourage people to use efficient, inexpensive public **** transportation. Only if Dongguan's public transportation system is truly developed and perfected, the increasingly serious periodic traffic congestion problem can be fundamentally solved. (Editor: Wenfen)
