What does a dedicated line vehicle mean?
2 Answers
Dedicated line vehicles refer to vehicles that can only operate on designated routes for business purposes or vehicles specifically used by a company for marketing to attract customers for promotional activities. A bus lane refers to a specific road or traffic lane that is exclusively for buses, and other vehicles are not allowed to use it. Bus-dedicated routes are generally separated from some important roads in the city to alleviate public transportation congestion and encourage citizens to drive less and take buses more. These lanes are usually marked by two yellow lines. Tour buses are typically equipped in cities mainly to facilitate tourists in visiting some major local attractions. Tourist routes usually refer to specific domestic travel routes, i.e., scenic spot routes, such as the Great Wall tour line, the Forbidden City tour line, etc. Sometimes it specifically refers to tourist highways, such as the Baoding Ranzhuang tourist line. It can also refer to teams or departments within travel agencies that specialize in operating one or more tourist routes. Generally, tourist-dedicated lines are a product of the tourism industry's development to a certain stage. With the rapid development of tourism and the large number of tourists, travel agencies allocate certain human and material resources to develop specific routes.
A dedicated bus line is what we commonly refer to as a fixed-route bus or long-distance coach that serves a specific route exclusively. For example, the express bus near my home that goes to the city center arrives punctually during the morning rush hour, saving us commuters a lot of time. Since it only operates on one route without detours, it’s faster than regular buses and often has dedicated lanes to avoid traffic congestion. I used to be late all the time when taking the subway, but now, with the dedicated bus, I can sleep an extra half-hour every day. Plus, the tickets are affordable, making it ideal for commuters. However, you need to pay attention to the schedule—if you miss one, you might have to wait a long time, so I always check real-time updates via a mobile app. These buses are becoming increasingly common in big cities, not only for convenience but also to reduce pollution and promote green transportation.
