'Congestion-defying' Bus No. 71 to hit the road Wednesday

THE congestion-defying Bus No. 71 will be opened to the public on Wednesday, according to the city's transportation commission.

The bus will run on the 17.5-kilometer bus-only lane under the Yan’an Elevated Road, connecting 25 stations from the Bund to the Shentong Road, covering Huangpu, Jing'an, Minhang and Changning districts.

Also, it has a 15.5-kilometer section route, between Huangpi Road N. and Shenkun Road.

In peak hours, an average interval is about four to five minutes, and in other time, passengers have to wait eight to ten minutes for a bus.

The bus route, also known as the medium-capacity traffic project, is designed to provide a quicker public transport alternative along the trunk road.
