Night Bus "Confession"

□ Trainee reporter Ren Xunying Hu Yu Dong Fangzhou

It was 1:51 in the morning, and it was still the bus stop of Jinan University. Mr. Xu, who was illuminated by the light vest, waved at me, folded skillfully with a small electric car, stepped on the pedal, and found a comfortable seat in the compartment. , Lean back to the back, under the dim light in the car, stared up soon.

Looking at Mr. Xu, I couldn't bear to wake him up, and carefully reminded my old guy not to drive the trunk headlights.

I am the K101 bus number "5-2804", which is driving on the only 24-hour bus line in Jinan. For more than two years, I cut the night every day and ushered in. They called me the "night guard" of the city.

"Old guy" and "Night Return to People"

I was sitting on the driver's seat with my old man Cao Liang. He is 38 years old and is a driver who specializes in the "big night shift". I often want to be lonely at night drivers, but he said that he took the initiative to choose me to enjoy a quiet night. The unusual driver often accompanied the children and play games at home in the morning. After sleeping in the afternoon, he would come to my side at about 11 pm.

Cao Liang and I are driving three laps every night according to the established route, from 11 pm to 5 or six in the evening. During the time to partner with Cao Liang, the driver like Mr. Xu was the most common ride group I saw. The small electric vehicles they rode were full of power and drove for six or seventy kilometers, and in the late night when the power was insufficient or unwilling to ride home again, my appearance would solve their urgent urgent need.

One night, I met a driver. When he was dazzling, he was waiting for me at the start station, and it was the third time that night. Before he got on the car, just took one or two stops, and the mobile phone received a new driving order for him. Every time he got in the car, he told Cao Liang "not doing it", but after receiving the order, he quickly got out of the car and rode. He later became a good friend with Cao Liang. Cao Liang said, "He regards me as a lucky god, and I also treat him as a companion."

"After get off work, we went to clean the newly rented house and prepared to move over this week." At more than 1 o'clock a night, a couple who was preparing for moving was holding hands to meet me. I only saw me on the streets of midnight, and this couple became my frequent visitor. Girls laughed and said that the bus was much cheaper than taking a taxi. The money saved could add some objects to their little home. They called me "happiness."

At 2:50 am on September 1st, Ms. Wang, who was responsible for sorting and distribution of newspapers, appeared on time to wait for my arrival at the bus station. She is my frequent visitor and appeared at the same place at the same time every time every working day. In order to ensure that the newspaper can be delivered to the subscriber on time every morning, Ms. Wang will start working at 4 am. She said that before she knew me, she needed to ride a 40 -minute electric car to a colleague's house, and then took a private car from a colleague to a workplace in Changqing District. Now, she no longer has to ride in the middle of the night.

"I like night shifts. The human taste of the night shift is not worse than Bai Ban, and the responsibility on my body is more significant. The night shift driver is very happy. It is the most happy thing to send these busy people to go home every night." Cao Liang When I was on the night class, he had always been very energetic. Whenever he talked to others about his night shift work, his face always had a smile from his heart, telling the new things he encountered.

There is such a rolling slogan in my carriage: the bus is a private car of ordinary people, and the driver is the full -time driver of the people. Both Cao Liang and I practiced this promise and guarded the "night return" in the city late at night.

Become a "Guardian" at night

Although I am mainly known as the "Guardian of the Night Walk", my initial night shift work has other tasks.

In August 2019, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development and Distribution and Promoting Commercial Consumption", and the active "night economy" officially became one of the 20 opinions on the national level to promote consumption. At the first China Night Economic Forum held on November 16 of the same year, the China Tourism Research Institute released the "Top Ten Cities of the Night Economy", and my hometown was on the Jinan list. The routes of Mercedes -Benz passed through the four roads such as the four roads, the Communist Youth League Road, the Quancheng Road, and the Jiefang Road, and connected the large business districts and tourist attractions such as Grand View Garden, Furong Street, Lugo Spring, Guanwangli, and Hang Lung Plaza. Around 2018, many citizens put forward suggestions for extending the night operation time of Jinan Bus through our Weibo, WeChat public platform, and 12345 government service hotline. After extending more than 160 bus routes, the route I was driving became a 24 -hour bus line due to an important area for developing the night economy.

Unexpectedly, more than a month after I became a 24 -hour bus, the epidemic of new crown pneumonia broke out, the passenger traffic dropped sharply, and the number of operations of my operation suddenly decreased. According to the relevant person in charge of Jinan Bus, at present, each bus of Jinan is losing money, and it is operated 24 hours, especially the number of night bus passenger flow and higher cost.

At present, K101 can be equipped with more than 10,000 people every day, but there are not many passengers at night. I have 39 seats, but the car is rarely full. Cao Liang and I can receive an average of 15 to 20 passengers at night at night. The carriage always looks a bit deserted. Faced with such a situation, Jinan Bus still did not give up at night. It is important to make a profit, and the life of these "night pedestrians" is also very important for me.

When it comes to my status quo, many people say that it is the result of "inadvertently inserting willows". I was born for "serving the night economy", but in the process of running at night, I found the new value and significance of serving the "night return". Every night, I became a space that could give "returning to the night" warmth.

Driving at night is a "pick" driver. In the past two years, I witnessed the coming and going on the driver's seat. Many drivers left me because of the night driving affect my personal life, but there are also drivers who love the night like Cao Liang who take the initiative to choose me. Those who drove me will keep changing, but I have been running for running, constantly passing through the night, and sending them at the busy people at night to go home safely.

My existence is the result of the choice of economic and people's livelihood considerations. Sometimes in the face of a slightly empty carriage, Cao Liang will say, "Even if there is only one passenger, I will accompany him for a while."

Looking forward to more "partners" at night

In more than two years, I am also curious about the small partners of other cities' night shift lines. I heard that there are very few cars running on the same line like me for 24 hours.

At present, there are 34 conventional night shift lines and 7 night -induction lines in Beijing. The partners of the regular night shift line will work between 23:20 and 4:50 the next day, while the friends who indirectly refute the dedicated line will be divided by one direction at about 0. Large residence community. Unlike me, the night shift bus lines in Beijing are not completely driving the daytime route, but redesigned targetedly to facilitate passengers in places in more places at night.

There are also supper in Shanghai. In the middle of the night, the ferry stopped operation. If the Huangpu River was going to pass, the only supper can be selected. As far as I know, most of the supper car 312 can maintain more than 100 passengers every night. This is mainly a hotel waiter in the late work, supermarkets and cafeteria employees in the morning.

Compared with other cities, my 24 -hour bus design is "unique".

At present, Jinan has opened 30 zero buses, which is enough to play a good role in the development of the night economy. Late -night bus like me is more assumed to serve people's livelihood. Judging from the experience of friends outside the province, in the future, in addition to maintaining the characteristics of "24 -hour bus" in the future, we can also design some of the lines that only run at night to serve more "workers". Extend the route to the train station and the airport to facilitate more passengers who arrive late at night. In fact, the opening of urban night bus lines is also an important manifestation of urban governance level, convenient service level and modernization.

In a brilliant city, how can I get my figure less at night? Regardless of whether passengers are enjoying nightlife or hard work for life, I will work with my old guy to bring warmth and convenience to their night travel, so that "night return to people" is not lonely.
