"In the future, I don't have to ride an electric car to get cold when I go to and from work!In the early morning of December 21, in Jiangxia Wulongquan Town, a D101 customized bus slowly entered the station, and Mr. Xu, a resident of Jiangxia Wulongquan, happily got on the bus with his companions and went to Jiangxia SAIC-GM Yanfeng Automobile Seat Cover Factory.
On December 25, 2022, the customized bus D101 of the first operating company of Wuhan Public Transport Group was officially put into operation. The Jiangxia Jingang Automobile Industrial Park to Jiangxia Wulongquan customized bus, which opened on December 21 this year, is the 35th branch line opened on D101 Road since its first year.
As the first customized bus line of the first operating company of Wuhan Public Transport Group, D101 Road is equipped with a total of 25 buses, with a line network covering Jiangxia, Hanyang, Qiaokou, Huangpi and Dongxihu and other regions, and 35 branch lines to meet the commuting of nearly 2,500 employees in industrial parks and production enterprises such as SAIC-GM, SF Logistics, and Aidi Apparel around the clock, helping the production and operation of the park and local economic development.

What time does the enterprise produce, and what time does the car wait
At 9 o'clock in the morning on December 21, the Yangtze River reporter came to the D101 road parking lot located in Jiangxia Jingang Automobile Industrial Park, and saw more than a dozen pure electric buses parked neatly. Except for a female driver who lives in a nearby hometown, all the 28 drivers of the line are here 24 hours a day to rest and standby, and many of them are selected from the original route to Hankou and Huangpi.
Wu Zhikang, 30 years old this year, originally ran the No. 296 bus in Panlong City. When the D101 road was formed, he took the initiative to invite Ying to Jiangxia, dozens of kilometers away, to become a D101 road driver. According to him, his wife and children are currently in Liji's hometown in Huangpi, and they can only go home on weekends. Although it was a long way to go, his family was very supportive of his job.
Wu Zhikang's route is from Jiangxia SAIC General Park to Jiangxia Jinkou Nan'an No. 2 Village, and each trip takes two and a half hours. "Our departure time is mainly determined by the production situation of the enterprise, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening, sometimes in the early morning, I can't say. Wu Zhikang said that the line requires drivers to "take the car as their home" and put the quilt in the cab on duty at night to ensure rest time. Sometimes, due to production needs, the company will get off work at four or five o'clock in the morning, and he will wait at the factory gate in the middle of the night for three or four hours.
Wei Zixin, director of production safety of Wuhan Yanfeng Automotive Interior Company, said frankly that since the opening of the D101 road, it has fully cooperated with the production and operation of the enterprise, and the vehicles are on call, and the safety, service and scheduling are guaranteed, which provides convenience for employees to commute, and also promotes the production efficiency of the enterprise to a large extent and helps the local economic development.

The commute was smooth, and migrant workers returned to their hometowns to devote themselves to local development
At 6 o'clock in the morning of December 21, the whole city has just woken up, the winter mist penetrates the green belt at the entrance of the second village on the south bank and sprinkles the earth, Zhang Xiangxiang, a worker in the park, and five or six passengers wearing overalls appear at the intersection one after another, and after a while, a black and blue, the front of the bus marked "D101 custom car" slowly came. Stop and open the door, and a warm breeze comes in your face, dispelling the cold outside. After everyone got on the bus, sat down and fastened their seat belts, the bus closed and set off for its destination, SAIC-GM Park in Jiangxia Jingang Automobile Industrial Park.
At the end of last year, in order to take care of the elderly and children at home, Zhang Xiangxiang, who had worked hard in Shenzhen for 3 years, resolutely returned to Wuhan, and later, under the introduction of his fellow villagers, he went to Huayu Vision (Wuhan) Lighting Factory. Zhang Xiangxiang took a car at the entrance of Nan'an Ercun at 6:30 every day and arrived at the factory gate at 7:55.
At 7:05, D101 arrived at the South Bank Gas Station in Jiangxia District on time, with 9 passengers at this station, and the seats were almost half full. The carriage suddenly became lively, some people found a corner to put on headphones, closed their eyes and continued to sleep, and some people took out their mobile phones to swipe the information. Zhang Lihua, who was on the same production line, sat directly next to Zhang Xiangxiang after getting into the car, and the two whispered homely chats, chatting about new shopping products on New Year's Day, holiday travel arrangements, etc. At this time, the bus compartment seems to be slowly waking up to the city, full of fireworks in the world.
Zhang Lihua's family lives in a village on the south bank and arrived at the factory half a year earlier than Zhang Xiangxiang. Recalling the first way to work, she was full of emotion. At that time, she had to get up at 5 o'clock every day, go out of the village to Provincial Highway 102 to take a bus to the vicinity of the industrial park, and then walk nearly 1 kilometer to the factory, which took nearly 3 hours. If it is windy and rainy, she can only carpool with her companions, which is not only safe and insecure, but also very expensive. For this reason, Zhang Lihua had planned to quit her job, but when she made a difficult choice, Jiangxia Jingang Automobile Industrial Park opened a D101 customized bus, which rekindled her hope. She said happily: "Unconsciously, D101 road has been opened for a year, this year, the customized car has a high punctuality rate, good vehicle configuration, driver service in place, very convenient, truly do both work and life."
