A welcome "cooling benefit" arrives before the peak of summer. To facilitate employee commutes for the software park, starting today, a customized bus route connecting Metro Line 6 with the park is offering a three-month free ride promotion.

The operational subsidy for this period is covered by the software park, aiming to optimize the business environment through considerate commuter services and provide a refreshing travel option for employees during the hot season. Employees now fondly refer to this route as the "direct-to-park bus" from Metro Line 6, transforming a potentially sun-exposed walk into a comfortable 15-minute, air-conditioned point-to-point connection.

The morning service departs at 8:35 AM from Exit 4 of Lugutiyu Park Station, traveling via internal park roads to the North Gate of the headquarters base. The evening return trip starts at 6:15 PM from a stop on the park's Yanhu Road, heading back to Exit 5 of Lugutiyu Park Station. This service measures not just physical distance but also the park's value placed on its talent.

"Fully subsidizing these three months is intended to encourage usage and experience. This will help gather actual passenger data and inform decisions on whether to increase frequency or transition to permanent operation," explained a park representative. The free period runs from June 1 to August 31, covering the entire summer, with one trip scheduled for each morning and evening peak on weekdays.

The process to ride for free is simple. Employees need only open the designated transit app, navigate to the 'Customized Bus' section, select the correct route, and complete a zero-payment online ticket purchase to generate a boarding QR code. A service hotline has also been published for passenger inquiries and feedback.

It is reported that the future of the route will be evaluated based on the actual passenger volume and feedback collected over the three-month trial. Park management indicated that if demand proves strong, there is potential to extend service hours or add more trips in the future, aiming to turn this "metro extension" into a reliable, permanent commuter line.
