Taichung double Ten bus discount works! 46 the number of long-distance trips goes against the trend

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said at the municipal meeting yesterday (14) that in the face of the severe epidemic, some long-distance bus routes are still growing against the trend, indicating that the previously introduced double 10 bus discount has increased incentives for people to take. The city government will continue to implement public transport epidemic prevention measures, and thank members of the public for their cooperation in taking rides and wearing masks to make the city safer.

Taichung City-the preferential policy of "double Ten buses" was launched at the beginning of this year. As long as people swipe their credit cards, they are free of charge within 10 kilometers, and the maximum charge is only 10 yuan. Mayor Lu Hsiu-Yan said, "this year is the most important year for Taichung traffic!" At the beginning of the year, the double Ten bus policy will be put on the road, and the green line of the MRT will be opened to traffic at the end of the year. In addition, there will be a number of road projects such as the opening of Dazhi Road and the extension of Shizheng Road to make the city better.

Mayor Lu Xiuyan stressed that the double Ten bus discount will greatly reduce transportation costs for long-distance commuters, students, and people in rural areas, which can strengthen links between administrative regions and achieve regional economic development, and implement the four major benefits of fairness and justice, subsidizing economic weakness, saving energy and reducing carbon, and improving air pollution.

Taichung City Transportation Bureau pointed out that after Shuangshi bus hit the road, including routes 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 300, 304, 305, 310, 658 and other bus routes that pass through national highways or bus lanes, it is the route that people most often use double Ten discount. In addition, despite the recent decline in urban bus traffic due to the epidemic, there are still 46 long-distance routes. Since Shuangshi discount was launched, the number of trips has gone against the trend compared with the same period last year. For example, the daily long-haul trips of buses such as 92, 153, 213, 228, 659, 850 and 865 have significantly increased by about 10%.
