People are able to take a night bus to Fuyang district from urban Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, as the city introduced nighttime bus services linking the two areas on Sept 7.

Fuyang Public Bus Co has opened bus line 8514 at night, connecting the Fuyang Bus Station with the Hangzhou Railway Station.

The bus line serves Fuyang Bus Station from 21:30 to 3:30 and the Hangzhou Railway Station from 23:00 and 5:00.

The bus fare is 6 yuan ($0.88) per person, and IC cards are available.

As the nighttime economy in Hangzhou continues to grow, nighttime transportation is becoming increasingly important. 

In response, a number of nighttime bus lines have been launched, including a bus route linking urban Hangzhou and Lingping sub-district.
