China's capital city of Beijing has opened its first high-speed bus line on Saturday.
A special bus lane, also reportedly the first one in China, has been designated for the exclusive use of a new type of bus with an advanced Global Positioning System installed.

The new buses have about 40 seats and special seats with safety belts have been installed for babies, which is rarely seen in ordinary buses.

Starting from the city center Qianmen to Mu Xuyuan in the south, the bus route is about 5 kilometers long.

Ordinary buses take about 20 minutes or even more to cover that distance but the new fast bus can do the same distance in less than half the time with the usual ticket price of 2 yuan.

Commuters expresses their satisfaction with the travel on the bus.
