in 1999, cng natural gas vehicles were put into operation on route 1, marking the promotion of the use of new energy vehicles. in 2012, the lng liquefied natural gas air-conditioned passage vehicles were upgraded again, with air conditioning in summer and warm air in winter, bringing a more comfortable experience for passengers. in 2017, pure electric buses were officially introduced on route 1, marking that beijing public transportation is moving towards a more green and environmentally friendly direction.

"quietness" is the most intuitive feeling of passengers, and it also provides more convenience for special groups of people. the changes are far more than just inside the car. the road reconstruction on the "gongzhufen bridge" also demonstrates the pace of urban development of route 1.

the buildings on chang'an avenue seem to be constantly updating and looking towards the future. the spread of green plants and the changing colors of guardrails all reflect the city's positive attitude towards the future. the "bus lane" is a testimony to the trajectory of urban development.

beijing's public transportation has extended its reach to the beijing-tianjin-hebei urban agglomeration. the number of routes has increased from 22 ten years ago to 38 today, transporting hundreds of thousands of passengers between beijing and hebei every day.

however, the decline in numbers has made people think about the future of buses. xu zhengxiang believes that "data cannot be viewed without considering the social context" and that buses are still a people-oriented service. as residents' living standards improve and travel methods diversify, people have more choices, but the fundamental attributes of buses have not changed. "route 1", as the "dynamic landscape of chang'an avenue", will continue to play an important role. it has witnessed the changes in urban civilization and also provided guidance for future development.

from "the first road at the national gate" to "the long street of 100 miles", bus no. 1 has become a cultural symbol. we hope that bus no. 1 can become a benchmark for public transportation priority and green and low-carbon travel on chang'an avenue. at the same time, the bus model will be optimized to be closer to the streetscape of chang'an avenue, so that the bus and the street will be integrated and become another cultural symbol of the long street of 100 miles.
