A new solution for traffic jams has started in Beijing, China, for the people who are frustrated by the jams.

“Jam Busting," this new and innovative service is helping people who are stuck in jams secure their escape with a payment of approximately $60. With “Jam Busting,” people can hire individuals, basically bike riders, who come and fasten their journeys. These riders use shortcuts, narrow gaps, and other alternative routes to make you reach your destination quickly.

‘Dingding Yueche,’ which was launched in 2015, was also a similar service, in which the drivers were used to being picked up by motorcyclists to take them to their destination while their vehicles were taken by someone else. This service used to charge 65 dollars per trip, but it was shut down after a short time due to low demand and safety concerns.

This service was popular in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, when it started, but later, trust issues and the potential theft of vehicles deterred people from using it.
