In the just-concluded Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Tiger, Wang Cong, the driver of the 316 supper line, still spent his time at the post as in previous years.
"Punctuality" is the biggest responsibility of the supper line
Bus 316 is a late-night supper bus line, with 5 drivers driving in shifts every day, starting at 23:00 and departing every half hour, traversing the 5 districts of Minhang, Changning, Putuo, Jing'an and Huangpu, with a total distance of nearly 25 kilometers and about 80 minutes, connecting the Hongqiao hub and the Bund.
At 2:30 a.m. on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I saw the No. 316 bus driven by Wang Cong at the Bund terminal, and Wang Cong frankly said that "punctuality" is the most important responsibility of the driver of the supper line. "There are fewer supper buses, and many late returning passengers go home and have to change to other routes. In winter, waiting for half an hour in the cold wind is not a taste. ”
On this bus supper line, Wang Cong has been working for more than two years, carrying all kinds of passengers. In the Spring Festival, there are not many passengers, "more is the airport staff at the Hongqiao departure station, and then there are substitute drivers and staff along the line." Although the name can not be named, but over time, the driver and passengers seem to have become the most familiar strangers, and a kind of closeness arises in their hearts, "The starting station will pull homely, and the New Year will say hello to each other." ”
"What's the difference between a late-night supper bus and a white shuttle bus?"
"Night shift drivers should pay special attention to safe driving, because there are few cars on the road at night, and drivers are easy to relax. But the more this happens, the more you can't relax. Pay attention to observation at the intersection, and pay attention to controlling the speed during driving. Wang Cong specifically mentioned that when driving without stepping on the electric door, he will definitely put his foot on the brake, "For the old driver, this has become a muscle memory." ”
"Happy to work, safe and safe to leave work"
Wang Cong has been a bus driver for 13 years, and before driving the supper line, he had driven many lines - No. 74, No. 190, No. 197, No. 867... He proudly said that the supper line requires old drivers to serve, and the driving age is required to be more than 3-5 years. At present, there are 7 drivers on the 316 road, and the average driving age is more than 10 years.
After more than two years of night shift work, Wang Cong developed his own work habits, "In the morning, go home and eat a breakfast first, I generally don't sleep upside down, I have to start sleeping after two o'clock in the afternoon, get up at night, go to the company in advance to carefully check the vehicle, if the car is broken in the middle, try to avoid driving out the sick car." ”
Such a day and night upside down life will have an impact on the family to some extent. It is understood that the daughter is 14 years old this year, going to junior high school, "homework and life, must be the wife cares more, some debt in the heart." Therefore, Wang Cong took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the "chef" at home, "basically cooking for his wife and daughter every day, taking on more responsibilities in terms of what he can to make up for the lack of companionship." This year's Chinese New Year's Eve night coincided with his shift rest, Wang Cong cooked a table of Chinese New Year's Eve for the whole family, "Shanghainese like dried bamboo shoots roast meat, family soup are essential." "The family of three spent a happy and peaceful Chinese New Year's Eve with the elderly in the family.
Asked about new year's wishes, Wang Cong replied that "I am happy to go to work and leave work safely", "As a driver, safety is always the most important." Buses serve citizens, and as drivers, they have to take each passenger safely to their destination. ”
