In 2018, the Ministry of Transport, together with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other seven ministries and commissions, issued the "Implementation Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving Travel Services for the Elderly and Disabled".

The reason why metro buses have been favored by many bus companies in a short period of time is due to the four-airbag independent suspension wheel drive system with wheel hub power. Different from the traditional direct drive form, the hub-powered four-airbag independent suspension wheel drive system adopts a distributed drive scheme, eliminating the transmission shaft, final reducer, and differential, reducing the loss of transmission efficiency and the impact of the bridge. The influence of the layout space in the car. Applying the wheel drive system to the bus, its unique layout can provide more space for the design of the bus, and take the lead in realizing the layout of the bus with flat, low floor and large aisles on a global scale. At the same time, it increases the standing area and realizes The replacement of the small bus to the big bus has a positive significance for protecting the travel of the elderly.

Xie Qianhui, general manager of Fuzhou Kangchi New Ba-shi Co., Ltd., said that Kangchi is actively exploring a new bus ecology based on BMT, promoting low-floor buses, and better serving the elderly and other disadvantaged groups. The BMT effectively solves the hidden safety hazards caused by traditional bus models such as the high rear row and unstable standing on the steps behind the middle door, and avoids the problems of "roller coaster", "bump car" and "overturning the sea" when braking. "Public transportation is a livelihood project. The large-volume and convenient BMT can help enterprises achieve a balance of economic and social benefits." At present, Kangchi has put 27 BMT into use on 4 bus lines in Fuzhou.

Since August 2020, Jinhua Public Transport Group Co., Ltd. has successively put BMT into No.24 bus operation line and Jinwu Express Line 9. BMT is stable and safe for children, women and the disabled, so it has been called "the most elderly-friendly bus model". Passengers have to climb two steps to get on the bus, and there are steps at the back of the carriage. The BMT is boarded on a low-floor, and the entire carriage has no steps, which avoids the stumbling of the elderly caused by the steps in the traditional carriage. When the elderly in wheelchairs get on and off the BMT, the driver can manipulate the driving device to turn the car sideways, and at the same time open the door movable pedal, connect with the ground, and go directly to the wheelchair fixed area at the back of the car, greatly optimizing the convenient ride experience.

The arrival of the BMT has aroused enthusiastic response among local citizens due to its safe and reliable performance, spacious space and humanized settings. The front walkway of the BMT and the floor of the middle and rear sections form a flat passage.
