Some residents of Chenzhou City were unsatisfied with the government's final desicion, especially the regulation on banning electronic mopeds that were popular among many commuters.
"The government should be more considerate to commuters," said a netizen who claimed to be Chenzhou resident on sina.com.
"The buses are too crowded and they often came every 30 minutes. How am I supposed to go to work now?"
While the newspaper said some people believed the Chenzhou government issued the banning to earn the city the fame of the nation's civilized city, garden city and clean city.
