GPS installed on buses provides convenience for passengers

"Route 45 is still 5 stops away from Bishagang. I can have breakfast and then rush to the station. The bus will arrive just in time." At 7:40 am yesterday, Mr. Chen took the bus from Dashiqiao, Zhengzhou City to Bishagang. He opened a bus query app on his mobile phone, which clearly showed that the Route 45 bus she was about to transfer to had 5 stops to reach Bishagang Station.

Mr. Chen told reporters that bus query apps have become her "secretary" for travel. "When the bus is about to arrive at the station, I will run a few steps. The bus is still far away, and I can have breakfast along the way."

The reporter logged into the Android Baidu application platform and found that some bus query tools have been downloaded millions of times. The download volume of a local bus query software in Zhengzhou alone has exceeded 10,000.

During the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush, many passengers also choose to book tickets through mobile phone software. Xiao Ding, a first-year graduate student at Zhengzhou University, said that many APP software provide functions such as intelligent sorting, remaining ticket query system, delay query, GPS positioning of nearby ticket collection points, etc. "It is more user-friendly. Some of my classmates did "grab" tickets through their mobile phones."

A staff member of the publicity department of Zhengzhou Railway Bureau told reporters that passengers can enjoy various inquiry services through mobile phone software, but the ticket booking for Spring Festival travel is tight, so passengers should still refer to the official website information.

The reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of Zhengzhou Public Transport Corporation that all buses in the city have installed GPS positioning systems, which not only helps the information management of public transportation and passenger services, but also allows many APP software developers to find business opportunities. "Many public transportation software can capture public transportation dynamics through our official website and GPS positioning information and provide it to citizens." The person in charge said, however, the accuracy of this information may be biased, and citizens are expected to use it as a reference.
