Recently, Golong’s on-demand bus solution was successfully implemented in Changzhou’s public transportation system.
Leveraging the opportunity of smart, green, and sustainable urban transportation development, and the comprehensive integration of intelligent transportation into daily life, Changzhou has unlocked a new travel scenario with the introduction of a quick-reservation service. This marks the official operation of Changzhou’s first "cloud bus" line, which supports both online and offline reservation channels.
The on-demand bus is an innovative public transport model offering a "quick reservation" service. Even passengers without smartphones, such as elderly and younger passengers, can use the card-swipe method to experience the reservation service. Upon its launch, this service attracted attention from local residents, tourists, and media both domestically and internationally. It is not only an efficient application of digital technology in Changzhou’s public transport but also a groundbreaking innovation in the national bus industry.
Golong's support for this project aims to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and provide passengers with a personalized, seamless travel experience.
This reservation bus service introduces a new level of convenience, allowing passengers to "quickly reserve and board" the bus, fulfilling their need for personalized point-to-point travel in the shortest time possible.
On-Demand Bus Operation – Dual Reservation Modes
Reservation Process:
1.Terminal Reservation (for stations equipped with reservation machines)
Card-tapping Reservation Process: tap card → Click "Reserve Vehicle" on the screen → Wait for the vehicle (arrival) → Successfully board (tap card or pay fare on board).
Card tapping Cancellation Process: tap card → Click "Cancel Reservation" on the screen → Cancellation successful.
2.Online Reservation via the "Changzhou Cloud Bus" WeChat mini-program.
3.Phone Reservation by calling the service hotline.
4.Driver-Assisted Reservation: Passengers can inform the driver of their drop-off point after boarding, and the driver will make the reservation on their behalf.
5.Fee Explanation: No fee is charged during card swipe reservation; payment is made upon boarding.
Future Prospects for On-Demand Bus Services
This on-demand bus system, powered by mobile internet and wireless communication technologies, minimizes passenger wait times and enhances bus operational efficiency. It provides a more convenient and comfortable travel experience for all passengers.
The on-demand bus service meets diverse and personalized travel needs by achieving real-time sharing and accurate matching of demand and vehicle supply information. Based on the reservation business model, smart terminal devices with integrated mobile payment capabilities have been specially developed. These products are designed for outdoor environments, meeting the requirements for use in various scenarios, such as student commutes, market visits, and holiday travels. While catering to individual and diverse needs, this system also reduces empty bus runs and increases utilization rates—another goal of Golong’s smart transportation product development.
Reservation-based travel is expected to become a mainstream trend in future transportation development. As an innovative and efficient transportation mode, Golong’s on-demand bus service offers clear advantages and potential. On a technical level, Golong ensures the accuracy and reliability of the reservation process.
In the near future, Golong's on-demand bus system is anticipated to integrate precise data analysis and intelligent dispatching, optimizing vehicle and route scheduling to effectively reduce unnecessary traffic on the roads.
As a hardware and software system provider, Golong was the first company in China to introduce all-in-one payment terminals into the public transport sector. Committed to providing specialized solutions to improve the efficiency and management of transportation systems, Golong focuses on smart transportation and smart mobility, delivering more convenient public services through innovative technologies. Golong's next goal is to use "smart buses" as an entry point to build more public transportation application scenarios. By continuously exploring the application of on-demand buses in various fields and contexts, Golong aims to expand the reach of on-demand services, creating more accessible on-demand bus scenarios with the strong support and collaboration of public transportation companies.
