[Explanation] The No. 7 bus has been running around West Lake in Hangzhou for 98 years since it opened in 1922.

In 1998, the changes in Hangzhou can almost be described as "the vicissitudes of life". The 7th bus has also become a part of the memories of old and new Hangzhou residents.

　　The original No. 7 car was broken and old, with a driver and a conductor. Now it is fine. As long as a truck has air conditioning, only one driver is needed. The scenery along the way is more beautiful than before.

Because it was a bit awkward to say before, it means that there is no savings to maintain a life, and it is impossible to buy some good things. Now you can buy whatever you want, without any worries.

Not only do they come by themselves, sometimes relatives in Shanghai, relatives from other places, and their own children and sometimes their elders, if they come, I will take them around to see the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou.

　　[Explanation] In the winter of 1922, Hangzhou opened a bus line from Lakeside to Lingyin.

The single line of this line is 7.4 kilometers long and initially set up four stations, namely: Hubin Station, Gongyuan Station, Yuefen Station, Lingyin Station, which was the predecessor of the No. 7 bus.

In 1953, the starting point of the bus line was extended, and the code was officially designated as No. 7.

Since then, the No. 7 car has basically not undergone major adjustments and has remained so far.

Ma Jun is a No. 7 bus driver. He said that although the hardware upgrades of buses have changed a lot, what makes their drivers most gratified is the changes in the quality of citizens nowadays, and comity seats have become common practice.

　　The historical changes in China can be reflected only by looking at our buses, because our earliest buses were the kind of cars made of wood or even bamboo, and then gradually developed gasoline cars and diesel cars, including our current new energy. The car is now a further step, that is, a pure electric zero-emission and zero-pollution car. This is actually a historical change for us.

In fact, the quality and thinking of the current passengers and the previous passengers have improved a lot. I remember when I first opened the bus, when you said that there were elderly passengers or passengers who needed to give up their seats, there were very few people. Take the initiative to give seats to the elderly, even if our drivers remind us whether we can give seats to the elderly or those in need, they don’t seem to be very willing, but now with the progress of our urban civilization and the improvement of the quality of passengers, we only need Passengers who need to give up their seats come up, no matter what age group they are, they stand up actively to give up their seats to the elderly or people in need.

　　It should be said that our current buses have more and more abundant lines, and the decoration of the entire vehicle is getting more and more beautiful, including some new models that we introduced this year. The bus is also equipped with some USB ports, which is also in line with the development of the city. Keeping pace with the times reflects the Internet city of Hangzhou; the second part is that we are also constantly digging out some themes of some cities. For example, we have opened patriotic special lines and Xiaolian Qingfeng special lines. Then these lines are in addition to normal passengers. In addition to transportation, it also spreads some positive energy, so it is said that public transportation has gradually changed from just transporting citizens and passengers, and slowly it has also gradually integrated this piece of culture.
