Bus in Nanning, China

Autonomous Region, the letter “A” means the vehicle is registered in Nanning. The next 5 numbers are the numbers of this registed vehicle.

There are more than 3 bus companies in Nanning. Usually the buses belong to different companies are painted in different colors. Some of the buses are equippted with GPS which can monitor the locations of the buses.

How to choose the right number of bus?

If you want to know which number of bus you should take from one place to another, the google maps would be helpful.
The navigation data of google maps is provided by a Chinese navigation company. I run a test and find that it is reliable.
The “33è·¯” means “bus No.33″ and so on.  what you need to do is use your mouse to click the starting point and destination and choose “By public transit”, then you can get the suggested routes. You can see my example from here.
