Guiyang SOEs improve public services, livelihoods

The Guiyang State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has guided municipal state-owned enterprises in improving services related to housing, parking, metro, and bus transport in recent years, making daily life more convenient for residents.

Guiyang Infrastructure Construction & Investment Group operates 32 government-subsidized public rental housing communities, with more than 40,000 housing units completed. The occupancy rate has reached 96 percent, benefiting approximately 122,500 people. The group has also launched its talent apartment brand, with 20 projects now in operation offering more than 3,000 units and an overall occupancy rate of over 92 percent. These apartments also provide housing for sanitation workers, ride-hailing drivers and other frontline workers.

To address parking difficulties, the group has planned 36 public parking facilities with a total of 22,500 parking spaces. So far, 30 facilities with more than 18,000 spaces have opened, serving around 40 million vehicle visits annually. Smart parking facilities have also helped ease parking pressure in key areas, including hospitals and tourist attractions.

Guiyang Public Transport Co has introduced on-demand bus services that passengers can book through an app for just 3 yuan ($0.44) per ride. In addition, Route 615, a scenic route designed to improve access to local attractions, and Route 252, which helps farmers transport their produce into the city, are providing more convenient travel options for residents and visitors alike.
