Bus No. 252, running between a rural area and urban district of Guiyang City, opened a special line in June this year to facilitate villagers along the line to sell their agricultural products.

Every day, a large number of farmers take the special line to the city to sell their home-grown produce. Shelves and leather ropes were also installed on the bus to help fix farmers' vegetable baskets.

With the opening of the special line, the time for fresh fruits and vegetables to reach the city has been reduced from more than one hour to about 40 minutes, and the travel experience has also been greatly improved.
