Fare discounts
Print Edition
Passengers switching between bus and Metro can enjoy fare discounts of 1 yuan or 2 yuan from this month, Hangzhou Price Bureau said.
All bus lines operated by Hangzhou Public Transport Group, except K588, K596, K598 and K599, will implement the new policy. People paying fares with cash, however, won’t be able to enjoy the discounts.
It’s just another effort by Hangzhou to encourage passengers to use public transport and ease traffic jam. The price cuts for bus-to-bus transfers using valid cards started on October 1. Holders of public transport cards, citizen cards and monthly passes can save 1 or 2 yuan if they transfer to another public vehicle within 90 minutes.
Last month, altogether 8.62 million passengers enjoyed the fare discounts, with an average discount of 1.22 yuan each time. One passenger used an IC card for transfers 271 times, enjoying discounts worth 280.2 yuan, the highest so far.
In addition, a park-and-ride facility was put into use at Chaoyang Station on Metro Line 2 from December 1. P+R passengers can enjoy a 50 percent discount in parking fees. Five other P+R facilities along Metro stations are available at Xianghu Station, Jiubao Station, Linping Station, Jinshahu Station and Jiangling Station.
