    THE city’s transport commission put a Lost and Found system online yesterday, where bus riders can claim their belongings that they have accidentally left on a bus.

    Residents can add the WeChat ID of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Transport Administration and choose the Lost and Found feature in the Business Handling section, the commission said.

    They can check for the lost items by filling in the time, type of item, and bus route on a claim, and can retrieve the items if they have been found by calling the service hotline.

    The bus companies will upload and post lost items and other information, such as dates and bus routes, to the system once they are found on a bus.

    In the first three months of the year, Shenzhen’s bus drivers and ticket sellers picked up a total of 5,751 items, amounting to a value of 888,268 yuan (US$128,705), including 289,173 yuan cash, left on buses. Among the items, 5,443 , or 95 percent of the total, have been claimed.

    On Jan. 27, a bus driver on route 309 of Shenzhen East Bus Group, Lan Xiuping, found a backpack containing 10,000 yuan, an ID card, bank cards and a travel permit to Hong Kong and Macao. The owner, surnamed Huang, later retrieved her items from the office of the bus terminal at Shenzhen Railway Station’s west square.

    On Feb. 5, bus driver Zhu Li found a wallet containing 4,000 yuan cash, and cards while cleaning a Shenzhen Bus Group bus. On March 28, bus driver, Rao Fuzheng, and ticket seller, Wei Xiuxia, of M206 of Shenzhen West Bus Group, found a card containing 1,163 yuan along with three cards and travel permits.
