On March 10, Suzhou-Wuxi Bus Line 1, the first direct bus line between Suzhou and Sunan Shuofang Airport in Wuxi, was officially launched. It is also the first route jointly operated by bus companies in the two cities, offering local residents a cost-effective and convenient transportation option.
The opening of the new bus line is part of the efforts made by the two cities to promote the construction of an integrated transportation system in southern Jiangsu Province, which is expected to help facilitate the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region. The buses run between Suzhou city and Shuofang Airport at an interval of 30-45 minutes. The operation hour is from 6:30 to 17:30 and the whole trip takes about 95 minutes with tickets costing 2 yuan each.
The 33.4km-long bus line starts from Huning Chengtie Xinqu Stop and terminates at Wuxi Bailian Outlets after passing through Zhujiazhuang (Xuguan), Wenchang Huayuan South, Suhua Xincun, Xiangcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Wangyu Bridge, and Sunan Shuofang International Airport, with 8 stations along its route.
