BUSES

BUSES ARE FOUND IN CHINA

Although our China travel is zooming about in planes, trains and automobiles we discover a variety of people movers, namely buses. Surprisingly, many have similarities to those in Australia. However I note that destinations and advertising lack English words, whilst doors appear on our incorrect side and, somehow, drivers sit on the left side. How do they arrange their feet and hands?


Buses in Suzhou.

 

Buses occasionally have a designated bus lane.

 

But occasionally they move into general traffic lanes

 

Sometimes you need to individualise your bus and confuse
passengers as to the direction you travel.

 

Electric buses are very well air conditioned.

 

High rise seating is an optional for passengers
whilst a rope-brake anchors vehicles to the tarmac.

 

Occasionally bus lanes merge with bikes and scooters.

 

Modern fly-wheel buses enable passengers to enjoy open
air scenery.
 

Village buses provide driver/conductor personal service.

 

We experience our very first bus Chinese bus journey.
Note the many creature comforts in this 3 wheeler.

 

Modern electric buses have safety hand-rails
instead of seat belts.
 

Modern buses can fly like birds.

 

Or fly like elephants as they trumpet their presence.

 

This is the Suzhou Singapore International School Bus.

 

We actually travelled in this bus which was fitted with seat belts
 for our last China bus journey.
