Xiamen's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a bus rapid transit system in Xiamen, Fujian, China. It was formally put into operation on August 31, 2008 and is considered China's first elevated BRT network.[1] Eventually the system will be rebuilt into an elevated metro network and be integrated with the Xiamen Metro.
The system uses some dedicated elevated roadways as well as dedicated lanes on bridges which allow buses to reach speeds of 60 km/h.[2] Due to its success, the city has won honors as the China's top transportation city for six years running with more than 30% of trips taken by public transport.[3]
The system currently has 7 operational lines.
From No.1 Port to Xiamen North Railway StationinJimei 21 stops over 33.4 km and takes about 90mins
From Diyi Matou (No.1 Port) and ends at Wenxing Dong Rd (Qianpu) 17 bus stops over 18.7 km and takes about 50mins
From Diyi Matou (No.1 Port) and ends at Xike. 9 stops over 15.3 km and takes about 40 minutes
The fare is calculated by distance travelled. The basic fare is 0.3rmb per km in non-air condition bus and 0.6rmb in air conditioned bus [4]
From No.1 Port and ends at Qianpu.
On 7 June 2013, a mass murder-suicide attack occurred on a bus in Xiamen, Fujian province, China. A bus operating for the Xiamen BRT caught fire and exploded on an elevated lane near the Jinshan stop; 47 people died and 34 were injured.[5][6][7]
