In general, the project is expected to bring about a fully-functional public transportation system with a distinctive exterior and management characteristics and service practices in line with international advanced levels.

Functionally, it will improve the waiting environment, shorten people' s commuting trips and offer more technological information.

The designs are based on a principle of simple and stylish, environmentally-friendly, reflecting coastal city' s features and local Lingnan culture elements.
