The tide of the times is surging on both sides of the Lujiang River, and we are rushing forward in the new era. As? Improve the development of the island and across the island? Practitioner and forerunner of the strategy, Xiamen public transport has the same frequency with the pulse of the times. Bus lines and generations of bus passengers have added infinite vitality to the city of Xiamen, and also contributed to promoting the integrated development inside and outside the island and accelerating the construction of a modern international city with high quality and high value.

At the celebration of the 20th Party Congress, improve the development within and across the island? On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the strategy, Xiamen Public Transport Lianhe Zaobao launched a series of reports on people and events related to the cross-island development of Xiamen public transport.

At sea, watch the long dragon lying on the waves; Under the sea, the tunnel is silent. The successively upgraded access to the island is Xiamen's ever-opening city? Ren durmai? A vivid epitome of promoting cross-island development.

The city bus that shuttles through it is a capillary, which constantly transports nutrients and builds a bridge of communication between people.

The first bus passes through Xiang 'an Tunnel.

On April 26th, 2065438+00, on the opening day of Xiang 'an Tunnel, six buses were full of tunnel builders, experienced citizens and media reporters.

Zheng Qiufen is one of the drivers of these buses. The 750 bus he drove that day was at the head of the queue. ? At that time, there was an opening ceremony Several cars set off from Xiang 'an Tunnel in the inner section of the island and arrived at the other end in just a few minutes. ? Is this Zheng Qiufen's bus career? Highlights? Every moment, he listened to the story of tunnel construction told by the builders, and his mood was difficult to calm down. Unexpectedly, after driving the bus for so many years, I am also a witness of history? .

Since 1998, Zheng Qiufen has driven 750 cross-island buses. This is an old passenger line in Xiang 'an, originally renamed from 620 Road (beginning with Xiang 'an Bus No.7 and beginning with Tongan Bus No.6). Line from Xindian Station to wucun Bus Station, journey 1 more hours. Zheng Qiufen said that this route is most popular with Xiang 'an and Tong 'an citizens. Because the parking speed of the big station is fast, the citizens line up to take the bus? .

From his twenties to his fifties, 750 Road accompanied Zheng Qiufen through his youth, and he witnessed the development and changes inside and outside the island in a cab. Zheng Qiufen said that the original 750 road was from Maxiang to Tongan to Jimei, and then entered the island from Xiamen Bridge; After the opening of Jimei Bridge, the car was changed to Jimei Bridge; With the opening of Xiang 'an Tunnel, No.750 became the first bus line to take Xiang 'an Tunnel.

? The road in Xiang 'an is changing every year, and there are more and more high-rise buildings. As a native of A Xiang, I am really happy. ? In Zheng Qiufen's impression, the earliest Maxiang to Xindian was still a dirt road, and the dusty scene of the bus seemed to be in front of him; In just a few years, the dirt road has become an asphalt road, with trees and tall buildings on both sides, and the gap between the island and the outside world has been narrowing.

Personal experience

It is more convenient for residents outside the island to travel.

? A bridge flies north and south, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare. ? In 2008, the fastest cross-sea bridge was built in China? Jimei Bridge is open to traffic; In the same year, a bridge for the integration of public railways and railways? Xinglin Bridge opens to traffic.

Bus driver Xu Xianben is deeply touched by this. At that time, the 755 cross-island line bus he drove started from Shangzhuang Bus Station in Xiang 'an, passed through Tongan to Jimei, and finally entered the island through Jimei Bridge. Two years later, he was temporarily transferred to attend the opening ceremony of Xiang 'an Tunnel.

? Over the years, it has become more and more convenient for citizens outside the island to take public transportation, and the quality of passengers is also constantly improving. ? Xu Xianben said that with the closer traffic on and off the island, the bus infrastructure outside the island is in line with the island, the station lines are encrypted, the cars look better and the cars are becoming more and more civilized. Used to take public transportation off the island? Stop waving? Since the standardization of the site, everyone has developed the habit of taking a bus at the site? .

In Zhuang Lurong's view, the passenger flow of cross-island lines is also growing steadily. The first 958 bus he drove, from University Kangcheng Station to Qixing Bus Station, passed Haicang Bridge; Shortly after Xinglin Bridge was opened to traffic, he was transferred to No.945, and the line from Xinglin Ocean to Fanghu Bus Station was very popular with the public. ? Haicang Bridge used to be very congested during rush hours, and sometimes it took three or four hours to make a trip, so I was afraid to drink more water. Later, when I arrived at the new line and took Xinglin Bridge, the road was very spacious. At first, there were few cars, but obviously there were more and more cars in recent years. ? Zhuang Lurong said that these changes are all symbols of closer exchanges between the island and the outside world. The population outside the island is expanding, and more and more citizens take buses to and from the island.

experience

Bus rapid transit has brought closer the communication inside and outside the island.

Since the opening of Express 1, Express 2 and Express 3, during 14, Xiamen BRT has added Express 5 and Express 6 lines, and also added Express 8 and Express 9 peak lines.

Su Amei, the driver of Express Bus No.5, still remembers the situation during the preparation of BRT. At that time, she switched from 6 10 to express line 2, and after training, she became the first drivers of BRT. Express No.2 runs from Tongan Hub Station to the first pier, so that Su Amei can drive for the first time? Startled, since 19 entered Tongan bus and became a driver, she didn't know that it was so fast and convenient to enter the island.

? Because Express No.2 is too fast, many Tongans take it to the bus to buy seafood. ? Su Amei said that the opening of BRT not only narrowed the distance between time and space inside and outside the island, but also brought people inside and outside the island closer. She met students from the island who went to school in Tongan, and also met Tongan people who went to eight cities to sell seafood with a laundry list. Many changes have taken place in the past ten years. There used to be weeds on both sides of the west coast, but now there are tall buildings on both sides? .

Fang Xikang is one of the first drivers of 1 express. Over the past ten years, he has driven four generations of vehicles, from tanker to pure electric vehicle. Have some BRT vehicles been realized? Man-machine driving? Not only is the driving experience better, but the citizens are more comfortable and safer. In Fang Xikang's view, BRT has promoted the development of jimei district for more than ten years. When I first came, the area around Jimei North Station was still desolate. Now the commercial housing there is developing well. .

? In recent years, the night scenes inside and outside the island have been done well, and watching the scenery on BRT is also a kind of enjoyment. ? Fang Xikang said that he had been driving the 14 year express 1 bus, but he wouldn't? Tired? Because whenever vehicles pass through Jimei Bridge to Jiageng section and Jinshan section to the first pier station, they will feel very comfortable as long as they look at the scenery on the roadside. Wash away your fatigue? .
