The 18-meter-long articulated BRT bus
 
According to the Xiamen BRT operator, a batch of articulated buses for BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), is currently entering debugging stage and will soon be put into use on Xiamen BRT.
The 18-meter-long articulated BRT bus can carry over 150 passengers each time. However, it's still uncertain about the exact time when it will be put into use.

The existing 3 BRT routes have only two lanes of a total 45 miles, but they carry up to 180,000 person times every day, taking up 10% of Xiamen's traffic transportation for commuters.
 
Due to its convenience and high speed, BRT gains popularity among citizens. Whereas, some say that it's too crowded to squeeze into BRT in traffic peak. Larger buses with greater capacity are eagerly expected. 
 
According to the relevant department, though these buses are ready for on-orbit commissioning, but only a few have been delivered to the BRT operator.

Best way is to teach them about public discipline and let the people know how to "fall in line" and also proper respect. The better way to inform them is through the used of media like that of attached TV at every public buses.
