Increasing the starting price of cabs to 15 yuan to alleviate the "difficult to get a taxi" has raised a lot of questions on the Internet. Netizens generally believe that the solution lies in the reduction of the share of money, Yu Kai responded that the share of money has nowhere to go down.
Yu Kai said any reform will hurt some people's interests. This is the truth, raise the starting price of the majority of passengers interests, inevitably be questioned. But he has been a taxi driver for 20 years, and is now a senior executive of the first group, defending the interests of cab drivers and the company is not abnormal. The problem is, not to mention the increase in the starting price can alleviate the difficult to get a taxi, this mention is reasonable in itself is worth saying.
Why is it going up to 15 yuan instead of 14 or 16 yuan? This is a question in the first place. The CPPCC members have this suggestion, should tell the public where the basis, the increase is how to measure out. How can people be convinced if it is just an off-the-cuff remark? Moreover, whether to increase the starting price, but also to seek the views of all parties, fully justified. Otherwise, this price increase will only be reduced to a tool for the interests of a certain party.
The CPPCC member said the share of money has nowhere to go down, which also makes people wonder. Last year, there were reports that Beijing cab drivers were handing over nearly half of their income to the company each month. However, it is not transparent how much the cab company should spend and what the net profit is. In this case, the share of money can not be reduced, also lack of sufficient basis. You can't just say you can't lower it and everyone should go their separate ways, can you?
That's not even getting into the role of the government, easing the difficulty of getting a taxi requires the efforts of all parties, and it's impossible to rely only on price leverage. For example, vigorously develop public **** transportation, improve traffic management level, etc., are the government should do things. If you only raise the starting price of cabs, you are actually pushing some people out of the cab sector. This part of the people will not walk home of course, either drive, or take the bus or subway. In terms of Beijing's current traffic conditions and public **** traffic carrying capacity, does it make sense to do so?
It can be seen that the starting price cannot be viewed purely from the perspective of profit and loss, which involves more of a public **** policy assessment and development. This is not only to determine the social role of the cab market, but also to respect the principles of public **** policy making, in the market interest, the government's interests and social benefits to achieve a relative balance between. Specifically, cabs should be treated as a quasi-public **** product and relevant policies should be formulated on this basis. From this point of view, not only should the Government not profit from it, it should also subsidize it. As for the reasonableness of the share price, it should also be considered from this perspective.?
In the final analysis, the key to whether the starting price of cabs can be increased depends on whether the relevant mechanism is fair and reasonable. If you only see the people who hold the power of speech and decision-making in the stage fist rubbing their hands, and consumers can only be in the stage shouting, then no matter up or not, the result is not legitimate. The CPPCC member's statement is controversial because of this reason or is
The news rumor is that from next month onwards, Beijing cabs may increase prices across the board, the starting price to 15 yuan, per kilometer charge up to 2.4 yuan, fuel surcharge charges remain unchanged. Sohu Finance to the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission for confirmation, the relevant person in charge said, Beijing cab fare increase program is being studied and formulated, will be announced in the near future specific implementation details.
Beijing taxi prices will rise
According to the person in charge, in recent years, there are constant rumors of Beijing cab price increases, and the policymaking department needs a full examination of the decision-making process, the need for research, scholars to discuss, and a series of steps such as the convening of hearings. "These two months should be held on the price increase hearing, there are people, cab drivers and other people to participate."
As to whether the starting price will follow the pace of Shanghai and other cities, raised to 15 yuan, the person in charge said, "As for how many yuan increase, to what price, fuel fee charges, how much, there is no specific program introduced." He believes that the voice of the market is variable, but the Beijing Transportation Commission is indeed embarking on the policy development of cab fare increase program.
The difficulty of getting a taxi is one of the travel problems for Beijing residents, and many people are looking forward to an early solution. For this problem, some officials and scholars once proposed to increase the price of the method to improve the driver's motivation to pull the job, so as to ease the taxi problem.
Liu Xiaoming, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transportation, has previously said that the price should be adjusted upward in terms of the cab's functional positioning. He suggested cab fare increases at the 2013 Beijing National People's Congress. The reason was that he thought Beijing's transportation and travel costs, including cabs, were the lowest in the country.
Switching "limited purchase" will not change
Traffic congestion makes Beijing chaotic, for the future reform of transportation policy, the person in charge of the Transportation Commission, said that the policy of limiting the purchase of cars will continue in the short term, and it is unlikely to be liberalized. He believes that if the liberalization of automobile purchase restrictions on the numbering policy, batches of people will flock to buy cars, car ownership will not be able to control, traffic congestion will be more serious.
"Some experts have also proposed policy reforms, such as the collection of congestion charges, sewage charges and so on, but they are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause of the problem, and a more holistic approach is needed." He believes that such a program will take time, from all sides to research, consultation and discussion, and ultimately find a set of optimal program for Beijing.
Traveling through the streets of Beijing, the 7-9 and 17-20 lanes on the side of the road are notable, which are special lanes opened for public **** traffic in Beijing. In the above digital time period, the lane only allows buses to drive, is the law provides for special lanes. And non-bus vehicles such as ambulances and military and police vehicles are not allowed to drive in it, but emergency vehicles such as first aiders can take the separately reserved emergency lane.
Some people have suggested that cabs and other operating vehicles can drive bus lanes, the person in charge replied, "Bus lanes are provided by law, social vehicles on the fine and points. If we want to amend this, I'm afraid we need more departmental coordination, is a very complicated thing."
Both short-term coordination policies and long-term planning should focus on the needs of the people. The person in charge said that in the future, the direction of Beijing's transportation policy regulation will not change, will vigorously develop public **** transportation as the main axis, try to promote electronic booking, improve the rapid transit network and so on. In the case of increasing operating costs, force control of public **** transportation costs increase.
