2 Answers
Micro Public Transit is a pure electric vehicle. Purpose of Implementation: Primarily aimed at promoting new energy sources, given the severe environmental pollution. 'Micro Public Transit' achieves zero emissions and zero pollution, and has received government support. The 'Micro Public Transit' only requires a standard 220V socket for charging, which can be done anywhere. A full charge takes 6 to 8 hours, with a top speed of 80 km/h, and a single charge allows for a range of over 100 kilometers. Development Status: 'Micro Public Transit' is the first pure electric vehicle time-sharing rental service in China, with experts calling it a revolution in urban public transportation. The service is currently operational in Hangzhou, with 5,000 'Micro Public Transit' vehicles serving citizens, receiving positive market feedback and recognition and support from government departments.
As someone who frequently commutes in the city, the microbus in my eyes is like a mini-bus running in the neighborhood, much smaller than regular buses, usually electric models operating on short fixed routes. For example, for the 5-minute journey from my home to the subway station, it runs several times a day, with cheap fares and hassle-free service—no need to find parking and it avoids peak-hour traffic jams. I've noticed it doesn't have many seats, roughly 10 to 20, with a very practical design, ideal for neighborhood connections. Many cities promote this to ease traffic pressure, especially during rush hours, reducing the number of private cars on the road. After using it for a while, I feel it has lightened the pace of life, with both young people and the elderly relying on it daily for shopping or commuting. Overall, it's a small helper in improving urban mobility.
