* China - Beijing to cancel monthly bus pass
Beijing,China -Xinhua/China Daily News -9 Dec 2006: -- The monthly bus pass, which Beijing commuters have used for 56 years to ride around the city for pennies will no longer be available after January 1, said sources from the municipal communication committee... A monthly bus pass costs only 45 yuan (5.8 US dollars) for adults and 20 yuan (2.6 US dollars) for students and can be used 146 times per month... Statistics show passengers on average used their bus passes 86 times a month costing them only 0.52 yuan (six US cents) a ride... The move aims to improve the city's bus service and divert more passengers to the buses with air conditioners, which are less crowded but don't accept monthly passes...
