Originated in Qingdao and blossoming everywhere, a brief history of China buses in the past century.

As the most common public transport in daily life, buses can be seen almost everywhere, full of everyone's memories. As early as 1907, China had its first bus line, from downtown Qingdao to McLenburg, and then to Liushutai in Laoshan District. Its cost: 2 Mexican dollars per person belongs to the government and its subordinate units, so the bus at that time was not entirely public transportation.

On March 5th, 1908, the first tram in China traveled 6.04km from Jing 'an Temple to the Shanghai General Association of Waiyangjing Bridge. Now the Bund of Guangdong Road officially marks the birth of modern public transport in Shanghai, and trams can still be seen in many cities.

As a representative means of transportation in some areas, the double-decker bus was actually put into trial operation by China Bus Company on 1 October 5 1934, and officially put into operation on April 61.

In fact, as early as the end of 1960s, the transportation department introduced a batch of large-capacity articulated buses with two carriages. At that time, the No.4 Beijing Bus Factory and the Bus Manufacturing and Distribution Factory of the Infrastructure Department of Beijing Municipal Transportation Bureau converted the Czech Skoda brand 706R van into BK650 articulated bus, carrying 120 passengers. Because the length of a bus is 14.8 meters, which is twice that of an ordinary car, people call it a "dragon car".

At the end of 1970s, Beijing Bus Factory began to produce the Yellow River BK670 bus, which was officially put into production in Beijing on 1978. It was not until 2006 that all buses were retired. Therefore, the Yellow River BK670 bus carries many memories of Beijingers, and also changes the domain name of Beijing Gongx * * traffic tire to bk670.com.

1992, information applied to microcomputer IC cards was developed abroad. So in 1993, Yida Company cooperated with Hangzhou Company Corporation to develop the first contact bus IC card in China without any application precedent and technical data, and created the first IC card toll transportation line in the field of public transportation in Chinese and foreign cities, which was born in Hangzhou, China in 1994.

The emergence of bus IC card makes the bus payment method gradually non-monetized. Now almost all buses have no ticket sellers, and the way of coin-operated ticket sales has slowly remained in our memory.

2 1 century, various new, environmentally-friendly and new energy bus models emerge one after another. As a means of transportation with very high daily travel frequency, public transport takes the lead in using new energy technology, which greatly improves the air quality of cities, reduces environmental pollution and promotes the development of new energy vehicles.
