Lo Wai-ling provided Luo Yuchen with a detailed report on the first day of operations for Dragon Gate Transport. She covered everything from profits and accidents to passenger reactions and public buzz.
The results were exactly as Luo Yuchen had anticipated. Since the vast majority of the minibus drivers were novices—even with seven days of day-and-night practice and empty-road simulations—they could hardly compare to veteran drivers. Under pressure or for various other reasons, these rookies were involved in over forty minor scrapes and more than a dozen traffic accidents.
Fortunately, none of the accidents were serious. Because the novice drivers maintained their speeds and avoided the reckless racing seen in veterans on certain stretches of road, the incidents remained within a controllable range, leaving both drivers and passengers unhurt.
