CASE DESCRIPTION

Huangchuan county issued the Huangchuan County Implementation Scheme of “Village-to-Village Bus” in May 2017. In terms of the route planning of village buses, the county has gradually established loop routes and straight routes with towns as the units and villages as the nodes. Each township is equipped with 2 to 3 traffic routes, with each route covering 3 to 5 villages. Through village-by-village trial run and road network optimization, a total of 37 optimized routes are designed, which are distributed along or cross the routes to realize the real connection and the opening of villages.

The village bus fare is one yuan, and villagers using the routes can evaluate the system. The town of Butaji has upgraded bus stations, explored new development modes such as passenger and freight co-transporting, transport and mail delivery alliance, etc.

Huangchuan County has formed a village-to-village passenger transport network with towns as units and villages as nodes. The passenger buses among all villages in the county have a total mileage of 1,294km, with regular schedules and routes, 164 buses a day. The village buses met the travel demands of 500,000 rural residents.

The village bus service has also boosted the development of local tourism, promoted the flow of people, logistics and information, drove the development of various industries, and helped lift people out of poverty.

Up to now, 4,102 migrant workers have returned home to start business in Huangchuan County. They have registered 309 private enterprises, 22 individual business and 29 cooperatives. As a result, 14,447 jobs are created and the annual output value has exceeded 2 billion yuan. The project has provided a strong guarantee for promoting the economic development of the county and eliminating poverty in rural areas.
