With the acceleration of urbanization, people's demand for travel is increasing. In order to facilitate the travel of citizens, various places have successively launched the "flowing shuttle" as a mode of travel.
So, what is a flowing shuttle? To put it simply, a running bus is a public transportation that operates on a fixed route and at intervals. Different from traditional buses, the flow shuttle bus is more regular and fixed in the departure time and route, forming a "flow"-like operation mode.
Compared with other forms of public transportation, the flow shuttle bus has its own advantages. First of all, the departure time and route of the flowing shuttle bus are fixed, and the public can predict the arrival time and specific route of the shuttle bus in advance, so as to facilitate their travel plans. Secondly, the frequency of the flow shuttle bus is more dense and does not require a long wait like traditional buses. Finally, the ticket price of the flow shuttle bus is relatively low, and the average citizen can afford it.
Of course, there are some problems with the flow shuttle. Because the shuttle bus operates according to a fixed route and time interval, it cannot be adjusted according to the needs of citizens, resulting in congestion in places with high travel demand during certain time periods. In addition, the route of the flow shuttle bus is also relatively fixed, which may not be able to meet all the travel needs of citizens.
In short, as a new type of public transportation, the fixed characteristics of the flow shuttle bus can better provide convenience for citizens to travel. However, we also need to further optimize its services to better meet the travel needs of citizens.
