Recently, some citizens reported that when they took the bus to Guihuagang , they found that there were multiple duplicate sites near their destination, which caused them to "Mengchacha" when they got off and were forced to walk a lot of detours. In this regard, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Department stated that in the future, based on the situation reported by citizens, we will consider the method of adding sub-station names to distinguish similar stations to achieve the purpose of clearly guiding citizens to board the bus.
On October 24, a reporter from Guangzhou Daily All-Media found a bus stop marked "Guihuagang 1 Branch Station" at the entrance of the Jiefang North Road Baiyun World Leather Trade Center. Then, according to the schematic diagram of the site, the reporter continued to walk south to north along Jiefang North Road, and saw the Guihuagang 2 Branch Station and Guihuagang 3 Branch Station near the Sanyuanli Avenue Sanyuanli Village near the archway of Sanyuanli Village.
Going north to south across the road, the reporter also found that there are three bus stops named "Guihuagang" waiting for the bus to drive in the opposite direction. In other words, from Jiefang North Road to Sanyuanli Avenue, there are six bus stops named "Guihuagang".
reporter saw that on this section, there are many leather goods professional markets such as Baiyun World Leather Trade Center, Yuexiu Zhonggang Leather City, and there are also university campuses and multiple communities. The flow of people is complex and there are overpasses along the way. No wonder some citizens feel chaotic when taking the bus to Guihuagang.
0:00 pm on the 24th, at the bus stop of Guihuagang 3 branch station north to south of Jiefang North Road, the reporter observed that a male passenger who had just got off the bus was holding a mobile phone with the map navigation function turned on and carefully checking the bus stop sign. The passenger named He told reporters that he was from another place and was here for the first time to come to Guihuagang. "Before getting on the bus, I checked the bus route map on my phone and saw that many cars were coming to Guihuagang Station. I didn't expect that when I came over, I found that there was still a certain distance between each station."
For this reason, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Department told reporters that there is no other note on the naming of the three sub-stations in the north and south of Guihuagang Station, and it is distinguished by digital coding. The department said that according to the current "Guangzhou City Bus Station Name Management Measures", the same station and same routes are distinguished by the ①②③ serial number form, and the passengers are guided by the form of mutual reference between sub-stations. The name of the Guihuagang Station plus the sub-station is helpful for distinguishing the Guihuagang Station on different roads, and can guide citizens to travel more clearly.
In the future, is there any possibility of changing the names of these 6 duplicate "Guihuagang" bus stops? The transportation department said that in the next step, based on the situation reported by citizens, we will consider the distinction between similar stations by adding sub-station names to achieve the purpose of clearly guiding citizens to board the bus.
