The city’s bus routes have also strengthened emergency strategies, particularly for electric buses and hot drinks are being provided for passengers at some terminal stations.

“Our drivers will turn on the air-conditioning earlier so that passengers can suffer less from the chilly weather outside,” said Huang Zhizheng of theJiushiBus Group. “A lot of morning commuters were almost frozen waiting at stations.”
