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

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

Because it costs a lot to take the bus every day, take my own example. Just taking the bus to work every day requires nearly 5 yuan money, and one day after work also requires 1 yuan, which is about a month's expenses in 3 yuan, which is not a small expense for office workers, but friends living 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 large, only 2,46 square kilometers, with only about 1 million people. The development of Changning is also slightly ordinary, and the GDP of the whole city is only over 3 billion yuan. However, Changning has its own bright spots, which is the first and longest-lasting bus free city in our country.

This incident started in 28. In July of 28, a government announcement resounded through the entire China network, that is, free public transportation, no matter where you get on or get off, as long as it is a bus, it will be free. At first, this announcement was not optimistic, and 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 would be implemented for twelve years.

the mayor of Changning said: since we have done it, we must do it to the end. It is reported that since the opening of free public transport in Changning, the daily average passenger capacity has increased by nearly 4.7 times compared with before. For this reason, Changning has 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.

Since the beginning, there have been 5 vehicles in operation every day in Changning, and the daily average passenger capacity has reached more than 9, passengers, and the annual passenger capacity is about 33 million passengers. If one passenger is counted as one yuan, it will save the citizens more than 33 million yuan a year, which is not a small amount. If one or two years are good, it is really too bad that buses will be free for ten years.

in fact, Changning has always kept it? Passengers first? On the bus stop in Changning, we often see many slogans, such as? Service is the lifeline of free bus? And so on, many uncles and aunts living in Changning also said that free public transportation is the greatest concern for the citizens, and this is the real practical thing for the people.

Many netizens who have questioned have also expressed their guilt, saying that it is worth learning! Nowadays, free public transport is not unique to a city in Changning. At present, several cities in our country have implemented free public transport. Although they are all small cities, it is better to talk than nothing. It is of course the best to learn.

so, can it be implemented in big cities? This may not be possible. In today's big cities, especially some first-tier cities, even in the case of charging, people are crowded when going to and from work every day. Once the bus is free, it will definitely cause traffic congestion to varying degrees, and traffic charges will also increase the income of bus drivers considerably. This is understandable.

But this is only at present. Maybe in the future, when our country develops to a certain extent, buses and subways will be free like highways. Of course, this is a bit early, but it is not impossible. After all, our country is a socialist country, and Israel is almost the same today.
