Han Ximin 1824295095@qq.com THE Shenzhen Bus Group will launch two intercity bus routes with Zhongshan in conjunction with the opening of the Shenzhong Link (Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link), which is scheduled for June 28. Meanwhile, a bus route linking the Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport with the Zhongshan Aviation Port will open, sources from the Shenzhen transport bureau said. The two intercity bus routes will run from two locations in Zhongshan, including the Zhongshan Expo Center and the Zhongshan International Talent Hub, to Shenzhen Qianhai E-Hub. A total of 24 buses will be deployed on the routes. The route that begins at the Zhongshan Expo Center will operate from 6:20 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The route that starts at the Zhongshan International Talent Hub will operate from 6:20 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The route that commences at the Shenzhen Qianhai E-Hub will operate from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. A one-way ticket is estimated to cost between 8 yuan (US$1.13) and 15 yuan. In order to meet the needs of passengers arriving in Shenzhen who need to travel short-to-medium distances, Shenzhen has also planned two shuttle routes linking the Qianhai E-Hub with the Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint and the Coastal City commercial complex in Nanshan District. The two routes are priced at 5 yuan and will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The trip between the Shenzhen airport and the Zhongshan Aviation Port will be cut from two hours to 55 minutes after the opening of the Shenzhong Link, which is expected to greatly promote exchanges between the two cities and boost their economic development. |
