At the press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia in Shanghai held on May 19, in response to the question of when public transportation will resume, Zhang Wei, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said that it is necessary to strictly prevent the epidemic from spreading through the public transportation system, so there are mainly two Points to consider: First, gradually build a public transportation system with healthy travel and rapid emergency response capabilities.
"Place codes" and "digital sentries" will be widely set up at stations, carriages, etc. to guide passengers to scan the codes to get on the bus. All passengers must hold a 48-hour nucleic acid negative certificate to take public transportation.
At the same time, it will also accelerate the construction of the "travel as a service" (MaaS) system, integrate payment and code verification links, and achieve one-code access; set up station buffers, and quickly carry out abnormal handling.
The second is to promote the restoration of the urban public transport system step by step and steadily, which is divided into "three steps":
As a first step, public transport stress tests have been carried out in some outer suburbs.
In the second step, with the stabilization of the epidemic situation in various districts of the city, it is planned to gradually resume cross-district public transportation from May 22.
In addition, regarding the passage of private cars and cruising taxis, we are simultaneously studying recovery plans.
In the third step, until the epidemic situation is completely stable, the public transportation in the city will resume basic operation, and the external transportation will also basically resume.
