He said he was often caught in rush hour traffic jams.
Last week, a China Daily reporter took the same bus route that Guo uses.
Although the bus was caught in a traffic jam at the start of its route and again near the destination, the trip from 7:35 am to 8:30 am went smoothly because the route included the Fourth Ring Road and a special bus lane on the Beijing-Tongzhou Expressway.
The operator says use of the new service has increased on routes in eastern areas of the capital, where most routes use the special bus lanes. But the situation in northern areas, where there is a lack of such lanes, is not so good.
The company said in a statement that only 60 percent of services on routes where there are no bus lanes reach their destination on time.
