The rapid development and population concentration in Liangjiang New Area has put forward higher requirements for the construction of social facilities and public services. Recently, Longxing Industrial Park ushered in the first of its bus lines – No. 985, which was officially open to the public on September 1.
The new bus line merged into the city's public transportation network and brought public transportation between the Industrial Parks. All settled enterprise employees and residents can take the bus to go to and from Yufu Industrial Park. They can also transfer to the No. 885 bus to travel downtown.
According to Chongqing East Bus Company, the No. 985 bus line runs outside the Second Ring of the city. 10 buses have been put into use as the first batch. The departure station is Hehe Homeland residential area in Longxing Industrial Park, Zone Hop homes, and the final station is Yuzui county in Yufu Industrial Park. The stops throughout the journey include Hehe Homeland residential area, Longnao Mountain, Longxing ancient town, headquarters building, headquarters park, Shanying, and Yuzui.
The bus line's start time is 6:30 am, and the last bus is at 7:00 pm. It's a self-service ticketing bus with a whole journey costing two yuan. Student cards and senior citizens cards can be used.
The responsible officer in Longxing Industrial Park said that the launching of No. 985 not only provided convenience for public transport, but also improved the investment environment which will help to accelerate the development of Liangjiang.
