Recently, Baoding Public Transport Co., Ltd. revealed in response to public inquiries that since the outbreak of the COVID-19 in early 2020, public transport passenger volume has plummeted, public transport operating income is less than 30% of normal operation, and has always been in a downturn. Public transport companies are extremely short of operating funds. At the same time, the first batch of pure electric bus power batteries purchased have exceeded the warranty period, which has potential safety hazards, and they have no safe operation conditions, so they have been forced to withdraw from operation. The arrangement of public transport capacity has been seriously affected. The company can only readjust the configuration of vehicles on the route based on the existing transportation capacity, with the principle of tilting towards routes with concentrated passenger flow and during peak commuting hours, to maximize the protection of more citizens for travel.

In addition, in a report by China Central Radio and Television on July 12th, a staff member of Baoding Public Transport Company stated that the total number of buses in the city has decreased from over 1300 during peak hours to 333 now, which is less than a quarter of the capacity during peak hours, so routes can only be reduced.
