At 6:15 a.m. on April 16......, the sound of horns broke the silence of the city, and a bus with a light sign drove into the bus stop of the grain school.
Su Hui, captain of the 6th team of the Municipal Public Transport Group, got off the bus and guided the migrant workers to take the bus in an orderly manner. "Don't worry, pay attention to the steps you take. He and the driver, Xi Chuanhua, kept reminding the migrant workers who got on the bus.

Plant a grain of millet in the spring, harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn, and the agricultural time does not wait for anyone.
"I have 2,000 acres of land near the Xinjiang fertilizer factory in Dabancheng District that needs to be planted with vegetables, and it is a critical period for spring ploughing, which requires a large number of workers, but because it is far away from the city, it is inconvenient for workers to travel back and forth. By chance, Su Hui learned about this problem from Li Qingguang, the farmer's owner.
"Our group is implementing the 'Bus+' service, so I want to try to connect farmers and migrant workers. The next day, Su Hui conducted field research and found that the vehicle arrived at the vegetable planting base of the farm near the Xinjiang fertilizer plant, which was 105 kilometers round trip, and the migrant workers had to go to work early, and there was no direct vehicle, so it was indeed extremely inconvenient to work.
"We took into account three factors: firstly, the farmers need to be able to sow seeds in time, secondly, the migrant workers need to have financial resources, and our public transport needs to reflect the value. Su Hui's feedback to the city bus group was affirmed.
On April 14, this customized bus shuttled migrant workers to the vegetable planting base of the farm near the Xinjiang fertilizer plant every day.

From the trial run to the official opening, at 6:30 every day, the warm-hearted customized bus greeted the morning light, carrying more than 50 migrant workers from the grain school station on Kashgar Road to take the exclusive bus on time, zero transfer directly to the vegetable planting base of the farm near the Xinjiang fertilizer plant, and sent the migrant workers back to the grain school station on Kashgar Road on time at 19 o'clock.
"We go directly from home to the 'farm' at a fixed time every day, which not only saves time, but also allows us to rest more in the car, which is more secure, and we enjoy the VIP service of the bus!" praised Chen Shuhua, a migrant worker.

Su Hui said that the vegetable planting base of the farm customized bus to provide "point-to-point" intimate services for workers, and realize the special line precision transportation service from "doorstep" to "field". In the next step, they combine urban-rural integration and rural revitalization, combined with seasonal characteristics, build bridges for different groups of people, provide "point-to-point, one-stop" customized services, and effectively take "public transport +" as the starting point, give full play to the advantages of large public transportation, and also expand the new quality productivity of public transportation, so as to solve the "last mile" problem of people's travel.
