Look at the bus. It's a little different from other buses. It's black and white, and has two black "ears" on the top, just like a panda. The lights of the bus are is "eyes". The bus is 12 meters long and there are 23 seats on it.
The Panda Bus is popular not just because of its cute looks. First of all, it's very easy for people to buy tickets. They don't need to use their phones or bus cards like before. All they need are their hands. They can buy tickets just by scanning(扫描) their hands. In this way, people can also buy drinks and food on the bus. There is a rending machine(自动贩卖机) in the middle of the bus. People can choose to watch a movie on the computer. How interesting! There are also some cameras on the bus. If someone steals(偷) things, these cameras will catch them.
Most importantly, nobody drives the bus. It only needs someone to watch all the way just in case(以防万一). And it usually runs a little slower than other buses.
By the end of 2021, there had been over ten cities in China having the Panda Bus, such as Tianjin, Shanghai and Jinan. Would you like to take such a bus to go to school?
