A cross-city holiday express bus line was launched between Songshan Lake Science City in Dongguan and Guangming Science City in Shenzhen on July 27, according to news website www.sun0769.com.

The express bus line features eight stations along the route, with services operating in both directions on weekends and holidays. There are seven trips from Guangming running from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, and seven trips from Songshan Lake running from 9:00 am to 7:30 pm. The bus frequency is expected to be increased based on passenger demand after the initial six-month trial period.

The one-way fare has been set at eight yuan. To encourage ridership, free rides are being offered in the first three weeks of operation. Passengers can book the free tickets online through the WeChat mini-program "Shenzhen Bus (深巴出行)".
