报告:共享单车帮助缓解大城市交通拥堵
Increasingly popular bike-sharing services in China have helped ease traffic congestion in big cities, according to a recent report. The report, published by domestic map and navigation provider Amap, Chinese Academy of Transportation Sciences and Tsinghua-Daimler Center for Sustainable Transportation, said nearly 80% of China's 100 biggest cities saw improved local traffic conditions in the second quarter of 2017. This is the first time the "congestion index" has shown signs of going down since Amap launched the index across the country in 2014. People's means of transportation changed a lot and traffic congestion eased as bike-sharing services quickly expanded in many cities, the report said. According to bike-sharing company ofo Inc, among the top 20 cities hosting most of ofo's bikes, 19 of them have seen improved traffic conditions. In Beijing, congestion in over half of the main metro stations during rush hour has decreased by 4.1% compared to last year, according to Amap. |
