Recently, Beijing Olympic Center officially launched its sightseeing bus service along the cultural landmarks on the northern part of the Central Axis. The bus fleet is currently under trial operation and is expected to officially commence operation on December 1.

In addition, professional tour guide services are provided on these sightseeing buses. The route has a total of six stops, each of which has an electronic bus stop board with a WeChat QR code. These allow visitors to buy and pay for their tickets online without having to queue at the service windows. When boarding a bus, they only need to present their electronic tickets to the driver for verification. A valid electronic ticket can be used for multiple times within the same day.
