ALL public buses operating in downtown Shanghai will be updated to air-conditioned vehicles before the 2010 World Expo opens in May, today's Shanghai Morning Post reported.

Currently, 85 percent of the 16,347 buses on the 1,084 downtown routes are air-conditioned, according to Shanghai Transport and Port Authority officials quoted in the paper.

In the rural areas, buses on the Haiwan No. 3 and Fengcheng No. 1 routes in Fengxian District have been replaced with air-conditioned vehicles.
Meanwhile, new-style shelters will be set up at local bus stops, and bus stops are being set up every 1,000 meters along rural routes to give a clear guide for passengers.
