On November 24, an official from the Economic Reform Department of the National Development and Reform Commission said in an interview with the Economic Watch Network reporter that the publicly-researched bus reform is still only at the research stage. It is unclear when the specific reform measures will be issued.

The above officials also stated that the media had previously disclosed the direction and thinking of the reform, but only some suggestions and ideas from relevant parties have not yet reached the level of policy operation. As for the next step of the bus reform, the official said there is no more news to disclose.

Recently, media reports said that Wen Bugao, Director of the Information Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that "the National Development and Reform Commission is drafting a statement on the reform of the bus and will disclose it in the near future."

This morning, Wenbiao Gao told the reporter of the website that he himself had never received an interview with the relevant media on the reform of the bus, nor did he make such an indication. He said, "The media's above report on him is seriously inconceivable."
