Beijing Bus
Public bus service in Beijing is among the most extensive, widely used and affordable form of public transportation in urban and suburban districts of the city. In 2015, the entire network consisted of 876 routes with a fleet of 24,347 buses and trolleybuses carried 3.98 billion passengers annually.[3] Trolleybuses run on over 31 routes including 6, 38, 42, 65, 101-112, 114-118, 124, 128, 301, BRT 1-3.[4][5] Many of these trolleybus routes are located inside the Third Ring Road but some, such as 301 and BRT 1-3, do extend as far out as the Fifth Ring Road. Since 2013, In an effort to reduce urban air pollution, Beijing has been converting regular bus routes to trolleybus routes by installing overhead power lines on several corridors.[6] Public bus service in the city began in 1921. Today there are two operators. The city's primary public bus operator, the state-owned Beijing Public Transport Holdings, Ltd. operates the Bus Service.[7]

The bus fare begins at RMB(¥)2.00 and are subject to a 50 percent discount when purchased with the mass transit IC card, Yikatong, using the QR-code of Alipay and the official app of the Beijing Public Transport or the transit card from Apple's Wallet, which effectively lowers the cost all buses to ¥1.00.
Beijing Airport Buses provide separate service to the city's two airports.
Basic information edit
Fares edit
Under the new fare scheme implemented on December 28, 2014, bus fares cost RMB(¥)2.00 for the first 10 km and ¥1.00 for each additional 5 km.[8] Yikatong card and phone users are entitled to a 50% discount and students enjoy a 75% discount.[8]
Prior to the fare hike, bus fares were as low as ¥1 and the Yikatong discount was 60%.[9]
Riders carrying bulky luggage that take up the space of another passenger will have to purchase a second bus fare.[10] A child below the height of 1.4m rides for free when accompanied by a paying rider.[10] Bearers of Retired Cadres' Honorary Certificates and blind individuals can also ride public buses for free.[11]
Buying tickets edit
On buses with a ticket clerk on board, the clerk can sell paper tickets and give exact change. The ticket clerk will ask riders deboarding the bus to show the paper ticket they had purchased, their bus pass or swipe their discount card. On bus routes designated as having no ticket clerks (无人售票), riders must pay exact fare in cash, show the driver their bus pass, or swipe a discount card when they board and deboard the bus.
Discount card edit
Riders paying with the Yikatong metrocard receive 50% discount off the cash fare.[9] Hence, with a Yikatong card, the starting becomes ¥1.00 per ride. Riders with the student metro card enjoy 70% discount off the cash fare.[9] Riders must swipe twice, both on boarding and deboarding the bus, so the trip distance can be calculated.
Until the introduction of the Yikatong metrocard in 2006, Beijing Bus Passes were a popular choice for discounted bus fare. Bus passes are available for three days (¥10 for a maximum of 18 rides), seven days (¥20 for 42 rides), 15 days (¥40 for 90 rides).[9] The Yikatong has no expiration date and has a lower per ride cost. The Yikatong card can be purchased or have value added at any Beijing Subway station or at any of 89 bus stops around the city.[12] Nowadays, there are no more bus passes.
Hours edit
Service on most bus lines begins between 5:00 and 6:00 and end between 20:00 and 23:00. The 夜-series night bus lines begin service at 23:20 and run until between 4:30 and 5:00.
Bus stops edit
Bus stops are marked with route signs that indicate the name of the stop, route number, hours of operation, fare schedule and each stop on the route. Bus route signs are only in Chinese.
Boarding protocol edit
On buses with two doors, the front door is used for entry and the back door for deboarding. On articulated buses and tri-axle buses with three doors, the middle door is used for entry and the front and rear doors for deboarding.
Routes edit
BPT's buses use the following route number scheme and fare schedule.
| Line No. | Line Description |

Bus Rapid Transit edit
Beijing has four bus rapid transit lines intended to complement its extensive subway system and a fifth one under construction on Guangqu Road.[16] The four lines radiate from the central city in each cardinal direction. Additionally, there are expressway median bus lanes on the Beijing–Tongzhou Expressway, and the urban sections of the G4 Jinggang'ao and G6 Jingzang expressways. The entire 3rd Ring Road also has curbside bus lanes which were criticized for poor design due to conflicts with traffic using on and off ramps.[17] The lanes on the Jingzang Expressway see as much as 150 buses an hour during the AM peak period.[18]
Line 1 edit
Line BRT 1 opened on December 30, 2005 and is one of China's first BRT lines. The line heads south from Qianmen to Demaozhuang (in Daxing District) in the south and is about 16 km long with 17 stations. It runs on bus lanes in the center of the road. All stations on the line are island platforms so specially designed buses with doors on the left are used on the line. It is the only route to use left-door buses. In 2009, it had an average daily ridership of 150,000 passengers.[19] In 2015, the line was upgraded to use trolleybuses.
Line 2 edit
Line BRT 2 opened on July 31, 2008 and connects Chaoyangmen to Yangzha (near Guǎnzhuang station, in Chaoyang District) in the east.[20] The line is 16 km long and has 20 stations.[21] In 2017, the line was upgraded to use trolleybuses.[22]
Line 3 edit
Line BRT 3 opened on July 20, 2008 and connects Andingmen to Hongfuyuanxiaoqu West (in Changping District) in the north. The line is 22.95 km long with 22 stations but only the northern half is on dedicated lanes. In early 2015, the line was upgraded to use trolleybuses, becoming Asia's first eBRT.
Line 4 edit
Line BRT 4 opened on December 30, 2012 and connects Fuchengmen to Longquan West in Mentougou District in the west. The line is 25.5 km long with 19 stations, but only the middle section of the routes has dedicated BRT lanes.[23]
History edit
Public bus service in Beijing dates to 1921 when the Beiyang Government established a trolley company in the city.[24] Tram service began in the city in 1924.[24] The first bus route in Beijing was launched in 1925 when the Beiping Bus Preparatory Committee acquired 30 buses for the city.[24] In 1947, the Beiping Municipal Bus Company was established with 133 buses, but the company shut down in August 1949 during the Chinese Civil War with 79 broken down buses and only five working buses.[24] In January 1949, after the capture of Beiping by the People's Liberation Army in the Beiping-Tianjin Campaign, there were only 103 trams and 61 buses in the city, which delivered 28.85 million trips that year.[24] From November 1949 to March 1950, 88 U.S.-made Dodge T234 buses were shipped from Shanghai and became the mainstay of the Beijing bus fleet.[25] Due to fuel shortages caused by a US-imposed trade embargo, the buses were converted to burn wood.[25]
In the early 1950s, the bus fleet expanded with imports from Eastern Europe, including 76 Ikarus Bus from Hungary.[25] Among the most advanced vehicles were Škoda buses from Czechoslavakia, which could carry 50 passengers and reach a speed of 60 km/h.[25] A total of 52 Škoda-built trolleybuses were acquired, all being of that maker's 8Tr model.[26]
The first domestic made buses entered service in 1956.[25] They were trucks made in Changchun with wooden carriages added by the Beijing Passenger Vehicle Factory.[25] Later, the BK640 bus used metal carriages modeled upon Skoda buses.[25] Domestic buses gradually replaced imports.[25]
By 1956, there were 27 bus and tram bus routes, totaling 357 km (222 mi) in length which delivered 235 million trips.[24] In 1958, the first long-distance bus company was established in the city with 114 vehicles, 54 routes and 9.69 million rides delivered.[24] From 1956 to 1966, trolleybuses gradually replaced trams in the city and the number of bus lines grew from 27 to 56 and the length routes reached 157 km (98 mi).[24] During the Great Leap Forward, due to diesel shortages caused by the cut-off of Soviet oil exports to China, 130 Beijing buses were converted to burn natural gas in 1960.[25] The buses, which carried fuel in an inflated bag on the roof, were converted back to burning diesel in 1964, after the discovery of oil in Daqing eased the energy shortage.[25]
In the 1960s to 1970s, trolleybus buses were among the most important means of surface public transportation in the city and their routes expanded beyond the old city to the inner suburbs. Trolleybus expansion ceased in the 1980s with the growth in use of buses with internal combustion engines.
In the 1980s to the mid-1990s, the capacity of bus service in Beijing grew slowly.[24] From 1984 to the end of 1995, the number of bus routes grew from 101 to 246, the number of vehicles increased by 558 or 16.6% to 3,927, and the number of rides rose by 1.06 billion to 3.11 billion, an increase of 293%.[24] Trolleybus service remained an important backbone of surface public transit in the city with more than a dozen lines and a fleet maintained at around 600 vehicles.[27] In 1990, the first double-decker special bus line entered service, which increased to five lines by 1995.[24]
During the Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989, residents and students used buses and trolleybuses to block the advance of the army into the city and many vehicles were destroyed during the armed crackdown. In March 1997, two bombs detonated on Beijing buses.[28] The first bomb hit a Route 22 Bus in Xidan on the night of March 7, killing three and injuring ten.[28][29] The second bomb, one day later, claimed two more lives.[28] The bombings, which followed the outbreak of protests and bombings in Xinjiang, took place during the annual session of the National People's Congress and the People's Consultative Conference in Beijing, and were widely blamed on Uyghur separatists.[28]
In July 1997, Beijing inaugurated air-conditioned bus service with the launch of Route 808 (later Route 608 which has since been canceled) from the Summer Palace to Qianmen.[30]
In 1999, the first compressed natural gas buses were introduced to the bus fleet. By the end of 2000, the city had 5,923 natural gas powered buses in operation, the most in the world.[24] Also in the 1999, the 24-hour bus information hotline 96166 was introduced to help riders plan bus trips.[24]
During the 2001 Summer University Games held in Beijing, the Beijing Bus Transit service provided free shuttle service, delivering 731,777 trips.[24] The first electric buses entered service in September 2003.[31]
In 2005, the first bus rapid transit (BRT) line entered operation.[24] In 2006, the city adopted a new bus fare scheme, fixing the flat-fare rate to ¥1.00 and giving 60% discount to Yikatong riders and 80% discount to student card holders.[24] Also in 2006, the first hydrogen powered bus entered service.[24] In 2007, after the introduction of the reduced fare scheme, the number of rides increased by 20% to 4.097 billion.[24]
The city's first designated bus lanes were introduced in 2007 to increase bus travel speed during rush hours.[32] Buses are also exempt from the city's road rationing schemes, which was introduced in 2008, and restricts vehicle access to the city's roadways based on license plate number. On 31 July 2008, three more BRT lines entered operation.[24]
Free Wi-Fi service on city buses was initiated in 2013.[14] Since 2013, In an effort to reduce urban air pollution, Beijing has been converting regular bus and BRT routes to trolleybus routes by installing overhead power lines on several corridors.[33]
Since 2013, the city has converting bus routes with diesel-engine buses to trolleybus routes by installing overhead power lines along thoroughfares in parts of the city to reduce air pollution.[6] At the time the trolley bus system consists of 15 lines and was operated with a fleet of 588 trolleybuses. 500 new trolleybuses were ordered in anticipation for the expansion.[34] In December 2013, Bus 104快 was converted into trolleybus 127, which became the first new trolleybus route since the creation of No. 124 in 2001.[35] On December 28, 2014, bus fare on all routes was changed to a distance-based fare schedule, which raised the starting fare to ¥2.00 per trip for the first 10 km with ¥1.00 added for each subsequent 5 km. The Yikatong discount was reduced from 60% to 50%.
As of June 2015, the trolleybus network grown to 18 lines using a fleet of 928 dual-mode trolleybuses.[6] By July 2015, Bus No. 6, 38, 42, 116, 301, BRT1, and BRT3 had been converted into trolleybus routes.[6][36]
On July 1, 2016, the first double-decker electric buses entered service in Beijing on Route 观光3, a tourist route that runs from the Summer Palace to the north gate of the Forbidden City.[37] In February 2017, the first double-decker electric buses for a standard route were introduced to Bus 44.[38] The electric double-decker bus has 70 seats and can carry 100 passengers.[38] By March 2017, the electric double decker fleet had expanded to 10 bus routes: 13, 44, 55, 121, 425, 510, 569, 专6, 专8 and 特12.[39] Later that same year, route 10 also started running Yinlong double-decker EVs.[40] In January 2018, Huairou bus H64 was converted to double-decker electric buses.[41]
In March 2017, Bus BRT2 started running trolleybuses.[42] There are further proposals to convert routes 3, 6, 13, 19, 22, 23, 56, 65, 70, 88, 110, 113, 117, 121, 635, 685, 717 and 特5 into trolleybuses, however routes 717 and 特5 have since been canceled.[34] By 2018, the trolleybus fleet has grown to over 1,100 vehicles running on 27 lines.[43]
In 2018, two more routes, line 65[44] and 128,[45][46] were converted to electric trolley buses bringing the trolleybus network to 29 lines.
On 1 January 2020, the 32 routes of the Beijing Xianglong Bus Co., Ltd. were renumbered from their former "Yuntong" (运通) numbering scheme to standard BPT numbers as the Xianglong Bus Company was merged into the Beijing Public Transport Holdings, Ltd.[e][47]
By 2020, the trolleybus network was expanded to 31 routes operated with a fleet of over 1,250 vehicles.[4]
Security edit
To enhance security on buses, over 1,000 uniformed security guards were assigned to some 16 bus routes on an experimental basis in late 2013.[48] As of June 2014, the practice is being continued with security personnel riding on 15 routes including 57, 特11 and 特12.[48] About 4,000 buses are being outfitted with surveillance cameras.[48]
Future concepts edit
Hydrogen fuel-cell bus edit
Hydrogen-powered fuel-cell buses began operating in Beijing on an experimental basis in 2006.[49] Three fuel cell buses, made by Daimler in Germany and purchased with a grant from the U.N. Development Programme, plied an 18.2-km route from the North Gate of the Summer Palace to Wudaokou.[49] They were the first fuel cell buses to enter operation in China.[49] As of 2013, the technology had not gained broader use in the city because air pollution reduced the efficiency and operating life of fuel cells.[50]
Cultural edit
The Beijing Public Transport Museum at 91 Fahua Temple Road in Dongcheng District, just east of the Temple of Heaven, has a collection of vintage bus, trolleybus and trams used in Beijing.
The Beijing Public Transport Holdings, Ltd. funded a football club called the Beijing Bus FC, which competed in China League Two and played home games at the Chaolai Football Centre. The team disbanded after the 2006 season.
