For the suspension of the No. 13 bus, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, was quite emotional. Since August 28, the 66-year-old Bus No. 13 has been suspended, which has become the memory of many Guangzhou people.

A neighbor who lives near the Main Station of Wende Road said that he lived next to him and used to take the 13th route to work.
"The 13th road can be said to have accompanied me for half a lifetime, and I heard that the 13th road was out of service, so I came to see it on purpose." I still feel very emotional, and it feels as if the time that belongs to our age has passed. ”
interpretation:
In order to optimize the integration of the line network and improve the efficiency of public transportation
Bus Line 13 runs between Haizhu Bus Terminal and Wende Road Terminus, with a total of 19 stops, connecting the two areas of Yuexiu and Haizhu, passing through subway stations such as Shixi, Changgang, Shiergong, Jiangnanxi, Haizhu Square, Beijing Road, and passing through the two major business circles of Beijing Road and Jiangnan West, and connecting the old city at the other end of the bus station.
Why is bus No. 13 suspended? In the public announcement on the integration of some bus lines released in April, it was proposed that in order to optimize the integration of the bus line network and improve the efficiency of bus operation, the Municipal Bus Group plans to integrate busEs 13 and 180 and suspend the operation of bus 13. On August 6, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Department issued an announcement deciding to suspend the operation of bus 13 from August 28, 2021.
The reporter learned that the suspension of the operation of route 13 from August 28, 2021 is to improve the efficiency of line operation, optimize the bus line network, reduce traffic congestion in the old city, and improve the level of bus service. According to reports, the 13 routes pass through Nanzhou Road, Industrial Avenue, Jiangnan Avenue, Haizhu Bridge, Beijing Road and other urban sections, because the stations of the road section are covered by a perfect bus line network, and the overlap rate with some bus lines is high, after the suspension of operation of the line, citizens can choose subways, other bus lines, etc. The original 13 routes will be used to enrich the operating vehicles and personnel of other bus routes to serve the public.
The reporter combed and found that compared with the 13 road, the 180 bus line is longer, and the starting point is The Lijiao (Pearl River Yujingwan) Terminus and the Jiefang North Road (Yingyuan Junction) Terminus, a total of 29 stations.
Before crossing the Haizhu Bridge, the two lines overlapped in height, there were 15 stops of the same, after crossing the Haizhu Bridge, the 13 routes of Haizhu Bus Terminal and Wende Road Terminus direction of the vehicle, driving east to stop at Taikang Road Station, Beijing South Bus Station and finally arrived at Wende Road Terminus. Vehicles in the direction of the 180 Lijiao (Pearl River Yujingwan) Terminus to Jiefang North Road (Yingyuan Junction) Terminus continue northbound and eventually arrive at Jiefang North Road.
FAW said that it will continue to actively participate in the development of urban public transportation, provide high-quality and convenient bus services for the public, meet the diversified needs of citizens for bus travel, and look forward to everyone's encounter with route 13 again.
Weishui:
Pioneered "get on the bus at the front door, get off at the back door"
"25 years ago, sometimes my father didn't have time at night, and after eating with my mother at my grandmother's house, I would take the No. 13 bus home; 15 years ago, after school, sometimes I would walk a kilometer or two to the Wende Road Terminus to take the No. 13 road, because there was a place to sleep at any time; and to commute to work 5 years ago, both trips were arranged by the No. 13. Until now, I drive home from work, sometimes passing through Wind road terminus. The ancestor of all my fate with the number 13, I did not expect to suddenly become a memory. ”
——Some netizens wrote down their reluctance on social media about the suspension of the No. 13 bus
Some citizens also said that every time they went home near Beijing Road in the past, they would go to the 13 bus terminal to take it, because "there must be a seat." Later, a snack shop was opened nearby, and many times I took a ride to the main station to buy snacks and then go to Beijing Road and then walked back to take a ride home.
On social media, a photo from ten years ago made the neighborhood feel a lot. In 2011, the "Octopus" flyover at the junction of Wenming Road on Wende Road was demolished, and this overpass adjacent to Beijing Road was resembling an "octopus" due to its unique momentum, which is the childhood memory of many Guangzhou people. When the overpass was opened and demolished that year, many citizens came to the scene to capture the last moment of the "octopus" overpass, and a No. 13 car just passed under the bridge and froze in the mirror. Ten years later, the No. 13 bus also ushered in its last night and became the object of farewell to the citizens. Since then, the "octopus" overpass and the No. 13 bus in the photo have only been waiting for remembrance.
At the same time of nostalgia, do you know that when taking the bus, the citizens queue up at the front door to get on the bus, and get off the bus from the back door one by one after arriving at the station, which has long become a habitual riding mode, and in 1992, 29 years ago, it was tried on the Guangzhou bus 13 route, which was the first in the country. Bus order has also improved significantly since then. Also on route 13, the first in 1994 was the first to pilot the contact IC card automatic charging system.
They said:
We can still "see" 13 every day
"Route 13 has accompanied me for nearly 31 years, and for me, Route 13 is not only a daily travel tool, but also my emotional sustenance!" Chao Zai, the ground station chief in front of the 13 route bus, and the reporter were very moved when they recalled their story with the 13 route.
In his memory, when he was very young, because his parents were dual-career workers, his mother had to send him to his grandmother's house in Jiangnan Avenue every day to take care of him, and later he studied in the school along Jiangnan Avenue, and for more than ten years, he took the 13 bus every day to come and go.
After Chao Zai went to college, because his family moved to Tianhe District, he rarely took the No. 13 bus. But whenever he is unhappy, he will deliberately go to take the 13 road and cruise the river, and the mood will soon improve. Brought up by his grandparents, he was very nostalgic for the past, and for a period of time after his grandmother's death, he couldn't accept this fact in his heart, so he went to take the 13th road every day, "Whenever I pass by my grandmother's door, I always hope to traffic jams, so that I can remember them more..."
"Yesterday was the day of goodbye to the 13th road, a scene of past experiences, scenes, one by one, in front of the eyes, when some passengers talked to me about the past of the 13th road, sometimes I really can't help but cry." Fortunately, he said, he also put a model of route 13 at home, "even if route 13 is out of service, I can still 'see' route 13 every day." ”
Chaozai said that the 13 route is also a witness to the renewal of the guangzhou bus type, "In the past 6 years, every time a new car is replaced, the 13 road has a share, from the previous manual non-air-conditioned diesel car, to the air-conditioned LPG car, to the LNG car, to the gasoline-electric hybrid car, and pure electric vehicle, have been used." ”
——No. 13 bus front ground station manager Chaozai
Li Yuyin was once a female driver of route 13, now retired at home, when it comes to route 13, her words are full of good wishes for route 13, "Watching the video of the last train of route 13 driving away last night, there is a sense of loss, I hope that route 13 is like its harmonic sound, 'reborn' in a new location!" ”
