Ensuring smooth transportation

China’s transport sector began providing tailored services for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games on Jan 21.

The services will be offered for 55 days until March 16. The Games are hosted in three areas — the capital’s downtown, its northwest Yanqing district and co-host city Zhangjiakou, Hebei province. Plans will help ensure transportation is safe and speedy among the areas.

Due to COVID-19 control protocols, all participants are required to stay within a biosecurity bubble during the Games.

“Point-to-point” shuttle buses are the main transportation means during the Games, Wu Shijiang, deputy head of the Beijing transport commission, said at a news conference last week.

Special lanes marked with Beijing 2022 logos were put into use on Jan 21 in host areas to facilitate the movement of authorized vehicles.
