Closed operation is adopted during disinfection. The workers remotely turn on the ultraviolet light tube to disinfect the whole vehicle. The disinfection time of each bus is about 10 minutes.
Liu Jianyun, the manager of the technical equipment department of the second bus company, said that during the initial period of the epidemic, bus disinfection was mainly "manual wiping and spraying disinfectant", which brought certain work risks to the maintenance and repair personnel. The introduction of ultraviolet anti-virus technology, combined with the original manual disinfection methods, can create safer operating conditions for auto repairers and provide passengers with a more secure riding environment.
