Data shows that as of the end of August 2020, more than 31,000 townships and more than 543,000 organized villages across the country have all been open to passenger vehicles, forming a rural passenger transport network that spreads across rural areas, connects urban and rural areas, and is crisscrossed, making it difficult for farmers to travel.

The "Opinions" clarified that to strengthen the safety supervision of urban public transport vehicles that extend to rural areas, in principle, buses with passenger standing areas should not be used; if it is really necessary to use, it should be reported to the municipal people's government for approval; if it is within the jurisdiction of a municipality, it should be reported to the municipality directly under the Central Government. The People's Government agreed.
Strengthen supervision before and after the event, strengthen the identification and identification of rural passenger transport safety risks, and implement a joint approval mechanism for rural passenger transport routes.

In terms of creating a fair and orderly market development environment, the "Opinions" encourage the corporatization and intensive operation of rural passenger transport, standardize rural passenger transport operation services, strengthen multi-department law enforcement cooperation, and create a fair and orderly market development environment.
