According to Yinzhou District Administration of Transportation, in the latter half this year, Yinzhou will implement a series of measures to relax traffic pressure, including putting in more public bikes and optimizing public bus lines. Of these measures is a plan to start the construction of a tramcar line.
The tramcars are driven by electricity and they are pollution free vehicles without emission of exhaust. Unlike the normal public buses, Tramcars go on their track and therefore there is not the problem of traffic jam, they are faster, more steady in speed and more on schedule.
Related people say that this project is titled “Yinzhou First Phase Project of Modern Trolley Bus Experimental Line”. It is approved in principle by Ningbo Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the project will start in this year. The line is to start from Jiangshan Town, through South Tiantong Road, Yinzhou Avenue, North Ningnan Road and to West Siming Road. The line is about 7.67 kilometers long, with 10 stations, all on the ground.
In addition, The public bike station of Ningbo Institute of Technology of Zhejiang University, one station of the public bike rent project will start presently. By September 22, all the first group of 60 public bike rent stations with 1,550 bikes will open to the public.
