Moved to mainspace by SBS6577P (talk). Self-nominated at 13:47, 27 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yan'an Road Medium Capacity Bus Transit System; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Comment by nominator: Please only use the picture if the main blurb, ALT1 or ALT2 is approved, and don't use any picture for ALT3.
I am willing to approve this nomination–specifically only hook ALT2–pending the resolution of several unreferenced passages in the article. Otherwise, I feel that this is a suitable nomination. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Added the citation for the fleet section. As for the "written on poster" part, unfortunately I can't find a source that reports on it (Chinese media rarely report these types of things anyways). There is a picture on the right that supports the claim, though I'm not sure whether this counts as WP:OR or anything related. If it is then I'll remove that part.

I don't see any issues that preclude this nom going forward. I only approve ALT2, as I sadly don't think any of the other hooks are interesting enough to a general audience. The image is good for use and approved, sources are in a foreign language. QPQ done, sources provided. Thanks, great work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
