Guangzhou launches high-end commercial vehicle service

The Second Bus Company of Guangzhou launched 15 high-end commercial vehicles on April 29, offering quality travel services to business people and families.

The cars are the first batch of the company's "Ruyue" (literally means going out on time) commercial vehicles, aimed at more diversified and high-end travel services.

Highly configured, there are nine spacious and comfortable seats in each vehicle, complete with free WiFi, blankets and newspapers. Each seat is insured at more than 700,000 yuan ($101,600) in case of emergency.

"Only experienced drivers who have not had accidents or received complaints in the past three years are eligible to drive the vehicles," said a spokesman from the company.

He added that the vehicles will receive safety checks at the station after every trip.

Some of the vehicles will be used as shuttles on fixed routes at fixed times, regardless of the number of passengers. Tickets will cost 20 to 40 percent less than taxis, and 20 to 40 percent higher than standard shuttle buses.

With reservations 12 hours in advance, the vehicles can be chartered to travel to specific locations, charged either by the day or according to mileage.
