According to reports, during the Olympic Games, a team of cars consisting of private vehicles operating in the evening at the surrounding venues have volunteered to drive Olympic volunteers back home.
Around 10:30 p.m. on August 19, six private vehicles driving to the east gate of the Olympic Sports Center were prepared to return Olympic medical team volunteers back to their homes.
The "voluntary transfer of Games volunteers" was launched by the Beijing Auto Fans Association; and jointly held by many auto fans organizations. They said that some of the volunteers work late, and most of the volunteers are university students. Taking a taxi is too expensive for them. Auto fans volunteered to drive their own vehicles and take the volunteers home from work so as to lighten their burden. Since the end of July, more than 200 auto fans have been taking Olympic venue volunteers home every night.
Currently, private vehicles have already taken more than 300 volunteers back home. This activity is tentatively set continue until August 26; but should the venues require it, the service may continue until the end of the Paralympics.
