Starting in the dark, accompanied by dim street lights, this is very common for Li Jiankun, a driver of Rizhao Urban and Rural Public Transport Integration Company.
Li Jiankun, 53, has been driving for 26 years. Since entering the Rizhao Urban and Rural Public Transport Integration Company in 2017 and running the C501 bus, Li Jiankun has shuttled through the important trunk road from Rizhao City to Lanshan, with a total distance of 37 kilometers and a duration of 1 hour and 10 minutes.
From Rizhao City to Lanshan District, Li Jiankun has to go back and forth many times a day.
As the year approaches, the city gets busy. The C501 Rizhao-Lanshan urban and rural bus run by Li Jiankun is also extremely busy——— going into the city to return to the countryside and catch up with the market to visit friends and ......
When people carry large bags and small bags into the car, Li Jiankun always takes the trouble to advise: "Take care of your bag, don't fall down, be careful of the steps." He also often receives warm responses from passengers: "Thank you, master", "It's cold, wear more" ......
During the drive, Li Jiankun will encounter all kinds of people and various emergencies. Approaching the end of the year, some passengers take a lot of New Year's goods on the bus, and accidentally leave something behind when they get off the bus; Some passengers are visiting relatives and friends, and they are tired and oversleep in the car. Every time he encounters such a thing, Li Jiankun always tries his best to help passengers solve the problem.
During the interview, the reporter learned that Li Jiankun has been sticking to his job during the Spring Festival for more than ten consecutive years. He said that although he could not get together with his family during the Spring Festival, he was very happy to be able to facilitate the travel of the general public, and thanked his family for their understanding and support.
The same is true for a bus dispatcher. Since the establishment of Rizhao Urban and Rural Public Transport Integration Company in 2017, Yin Shixiang has been working in this position for seven years as one of the first batch of dispatchers. In the past seven years, Yin Shixiang has not spent a single Spring Festival with his family.
2024 will also be the last Spring Festival in Yin Shixiang's career, and she is still on the job. "I'm going to stand on my last shift and bring a successful end to my passionate. Yin Shixiang said.
According to reports, during the Spring Festival this year, a total of 1,400 bus drivers and dispatchers in our city stuck to their posts. Like Li Jiankun and Yin Shixiang, they gave up the good time of reuniting with their relatives and enjoying the Spring Festival holiday, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the bus and providing convenience for the citizens who travel during the festival.
