Higer New V Series Buses Usher in a New Era of Transportation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
17 June 2024
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, a world-class cross-sea project with a total investment of 50 billion yuan and seven years of construction, is about to be operational. Connecting Shenzhen and Zhongshan, the bridge spans a total length of 24 kilometers and overcomes geographical obstacles through a design that combines "bridges, islands, tunnels, and underwater interchanges." Alongside the bridge's opening, shuttle buses will also be launched to provide 24-hour cross-city transportation services.
Higer New V Series Becomes the Mainstay Shuttle Bus on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge
To cater to this, Manman Travel Service (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Manman Travel") has teamed up with Higer to create a fleet of high-end buses as the primary models for the shuttle buses on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge. These vehicles will operate around the clock, ensuring that citizens' travel needs are met promptly.
Li Yibin, the general manager of Manman Travel, stated that the high-end buses utilize Higer New V Series buses, which are benchmark products representing new productive forces in the industry. From exterior design to interior configuration, as well as safety and intelligence features, they are regarded as leaders in the industry. These vehicles not only meet the diverse transportation needs between the two cities but also lead industry innovation trends with their excellent performance and superior service, satisfying the market's trend towards specialization and high-end development.
Higer New V Series buses are not just a culmination of bus technology; they are also benchmark products representing new productive forces in the bus industry, injecting robust momentum into the high-quality development of the tourist transportation sector. "We were extremely cautious in selecting the shuttle bus models. After extensive research, we chose Higer New V Series V13 three-axle ultra-luxurious large buses. On June 7, the first batch of 20 buses arrived in Zhongshan after a long journey of 1,500 kilometers from Suzhou. They will play an essential role in transportation after the bridge's opening," said Li Yibin. "After the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge opens, the journey time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan will be shortened to less than 30 minutes, a significant improvement compared to the original 100-120 minutes. The shuttle buses will provide seamless connections and diverse modes of transportation to facilitate citizens' travel."
It is estimated that after the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge opens, the daily traffic volume is expected to reach 105,000 vehicles, bringing 265,000 passenger trips daily between the east and west banks of the Pearl River Estuary. The daily passenger flow of shuttle buses is expected to reach 8,000 to 20,000 person-trips, and their routes will not overlap with other transportation modes, making them an essential component of the comprehensive transportation system. Li Yibin noted that this not only reflects the convenience and attractiveness of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge but also reflects people's demand for high-quality and efficient travel modes. In the future, shuttle buses will not only meet daily travel needs but also provide specialized services for tourists visiting the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, satisfying diverse travel demands.
"With a bridge, thousands of miles seem near; separated by water, even inches feel remote." Looking back at the convenience brought by the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in 2018, the "two-way rush" between Hong Kong, Macao, and the mainland has become increasingly active, and the bridge has sparked a continuous tourism boom. At that time, the Higer shuttle buses created by Higer, with their luxurious golden exterior and high-quality service, became internet celebrities, known as "Golden Buses" by netizens, creating a generation of classics.
