A quick push of a penny commuter bus

A few months of "dribbling buses" that have been tested in low-key conditions have finally been formally launched today. According to the Dripping News, DDT buses are currently on-line only in Beijing and Shenzhen, with 33 routes in Beijing and 10 routes in Shenzhen, and it is expected to increase to several hundred lines by the end of July.

At present, DDT buses have begun to conduct closed beta on its official WeChat platform. Users can check the covered regional lines through the “Didi Bus” official WeChat. According to the official WeChat content, DDT bus coverage in Shenzhen includes: Science Park, Convention and Exhibition Center, Che Kung Temple, Baoan, Phuket, Baishizhou, and Shangsha. After being formally launched today, users can pay attention to the “Dribbling Bus” WeChat public number and directly select the line to buy tickets through the WeChat public number. At present, the overall price of drip buses ranges from 7 yuan to 13 yuan. During the first week of the launch, from July 16 to 23, DDT will also launch a “1 cent” experience event. All users in Beijing and Shenzhen will be charged 1 cent for a drip bus.

Li Jinfei, general manager of DDT Bus Division, introduced and analyzed the travel data of Shanghai DDT, which is a supplement to existing bus trunk lines. The target customer group mainly focuses on age 20 years old. Office workers between the ages of 40 years and older supplement the existing travel system's inability to meet travel needs. “Not only that, but the departure time of each line is not fixed, because we set each line and departure time based on collecting passenger demand, and we also set the trip data based on the big data of tripping platform. ."

On the vehicle side, Li Jinfei introduced that DDT buses mainly cooperate with travel companies that have qualifications and legally qualified leasing companies to combine data on idle bus services under the line for data matching, build platforms, and complete user demand for cars. In addition, the tour company also purchased a seat insurance for passengers of at least RMB 300,000 each time to protect the safety of passengers. Taking Beijing as an example, the vehicle is mainly based on the Beijing B license. In the future, DDT buses will be developed in line with actual market demand, and more buses will be stationed to supplement the capacity and relieve traffic pressure.
