Application Case
Golong’s quick reservation bus solution has officially been implemented in Hangzhou. Golong assisted Hangzhou Public Transportation in promoting the project, aiming to help buses improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and provide passengers with a personalized, precise, and seamless transportation experience.
This reservation bus service model brought a new convenient experience to passengers with "quick reservation and arrival, and immediate bus response," effectively meeting passengers' personalized needs for point-to-point travel in the shortest time.
The quick reservation bus solution is a new public transportation operating model and service with "quick reservation and arrival." Even "elderly passengers" and "young passengers" without smartphones can experience the quick reservation, and arrival service by using a card. The service attracted attention from the general public, tourists, and domestic and foreign media as soon as it was launched. It is not only an efficient application of digital technology in Hangzhou's public transportation but also an innovative and leading initiative in the domestic public transportation field.
Golong's Smart Travel Reservation Machine product is an effective combination of the new public transportation operating model and Hangzhou Public Transportation's online and offline dual-channel reservation service. In this model, besides the advantages of responsive bus travel services like "quick reservation, and arrival," bus companies can also use related data from the quick reservation bus to plan and flexibly adjust travel schedules before the bus responds, reducing unnecessary travel time.
