According to Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai will launch a range of preferential polices for bus and rail transport transfers this year to encourage citizens to choose public transportation for their outings and to help them lower their transportation costs.
Li Wenhui, director of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Bureau, says that Shanghai has adopted preferential policies for 73 bus lines within the inner line of the city and it will implement the policy to all the 350 bus lines within the inner line before June this year. Li says that they are studying on rail transport and bus transport transfer measures, which are expected to come out in October, but they have already worked out a new measure for senior citizens which will be implemented in the fourth quarter of this year.
Shanghai's "Plan of Giving Priority to Public Transport Development" states that the city will price public transport reasonably, enlarge the range of lines on which discounts are offered and offer different types of preferential policies for different social groups.
