Under normal circumstances, the bus service in Chengdu needs to be paid, and passengers need to buy bus tickets or use bus cards to pay. However, in some cases, such as holidays or special events, the Chengdu municipal government may announce the policy of providing free public transportation for citizens. This policy is usually to encourage citizens to use public transport and reduce the use of private cars, so as to alleviate traffic congestion and improve environmental quality.
As the policy may change, it is suggested that you consult the official website of the local government, the notice of the bus operation company or the staff of the local bus station to obtain the latest information on the bus free policy, and they can provide accurate and specific relevant policies and regulations.
Matters needing attention in taking public transport
1. Prepare change or bus card: Make sure you have enough change (such as coins and small bills) or a suitable bus card (such as citizen card and bus card) to pay the fare, which can reduce the queuing time when getting on and off and ensure that you can successfully complete the payment.
2. Know the bus route: Before taking the bus, know the bus route and station you want to take. You can consult the bus-related route map, APP or the staff to get accurate information.
3. Queue up and down: When waiting at the station, please pay attention to queuing and obey the order. After the vehicles arrive, get on and off in an orderly manner to avoid pushing and congestion.
