Take into account fair to prevent picky

In the opinion of the industry, it is fair to some extent that the information in the Circular is only available to empty vehicles, price controls, and the establishment of uniform taxi dispatch stations in airports and train stations, etc., without using taxi software.

"Notice" requirements, to gradually achieve all kinds of call-demand information through a unified taxi service management information platform, the whole process of recording and broadcasting. After the passenger sends the call information, the information will be processed on the platform before the information reaches the driver's mobile terminal. Calling information in the future can only be pushed to the empty car, can not affect the normal operation of vehicles. Taxi software vendors, as long as the call platform, taxi and taxi software information and data sharing and sharing, identification of empty car is not a problem.

In the airport, railway station set up a unified taxi scheduling service station or places waiting for the implementation of queuing, taxi drivers may not by mobile phone software such as call-outs in the waiting area waiting to see off passengers. The regulations make it clear that taxi software can not be used.

The "Notice" also stipulates that drivers can not arbitrarily increase fees and charges, but this requirement does not affect the software in the fare calling function. In this regard, there are different requirements everywhere. For example, Beijing can only add a maximum of 5 yuan. However, some local governments will not allow fare increases and taxi companies will comply with the requirements of local governments.

Software self-scheduling is not affected

While affirming the legitimacy of taxi software, the Circular clarified the requirements for the management of taxi software into the unified call center platform. In order to avoid any adverse competition between taxi software and allow the reservation of taxi software terminals, the platform broadcasts the order Need to indicate the source.

The Notice requires that the operation of the platform shall not affect the proper function and healthy competition of mobile phone calling software. This industry is understood as "a unified call, not uniform scheduling." Beijing Huicheng Law Firm Zhao occupation lawyer believes that the above provisions of the taxi service management information platform put forward new requirements, this provision is designed to clarify the management platform and taxi software, the border between the government and the market is also the border between, to prevent Management platform to intervene in the normal operation of software itself to dispel business concerns.

Li Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Transport, said: The Circular does not require time for unified access. It is currently suggested that cities should make their own decisions based on the circumstances. Beijing built last year 96106 taxi software unified regulatory platform, the current platform only a taxi, fast taxi two are still active, it is understood that to achieve the "notification" requirements, Beijing 96106 platform needs to be upgraded.

Taxi software: good for the development of the industry

Fast taxi-related responsible person that the "notification" affirmed the taxi software on the community, users and even the future of intelligent traffic travel value and significance. In particular, it should not affect the healthy competition in mobile software and encourage the development of high-performance automotive terminal equipment and other content, the industry's future development is good.

In terms of dropping a taxi, the regulations of the Ministry of Transportation actually affirmed the "Beijing model." Despite the restrictions on prices and subsidy activities, it has given the industry a lot of room for development. It is understood that governments around the mobile taxi market to form three regulatory model: First, the Beijing model, the taxi software into a unified call platform, all orders for the record, but the government only does not monitor the regulation, after the supervision; Second, the Shanghai model, sooner or later The rush hour prohibits the use of taxi software; third, Suzhou mode prohibits taxi drivers from using taxi software.

Experts: Uniform norms conducive to market development

According to Analysys International analyst Wang Jian, the government's regulation has a "two-sidedness." The unification and norm will help promote the healthy development and healthy competition in the smart taxi market. Too serious will crack down on the innovativeness and enthusiasm of the mobile internet software and the degree of policy. Grasp the need to further observe and explore.

Zhao occupation analysis, compared with the draft, the "notice" to modify the illegal business directly before the suspension or even forced to delisting punishment, obviously, the Ministry of Transportation also realized that the direct suspension of the taxi software lacks legal basis.

Passenger: Strengthened driving safety

Liu, a Beijing-based white-collar worker, told reporters that in the previous period of taxi software subsidy wars, going out with taxi software was the norm, but the incentive to use was small after the subsidy was reduced. "I do not care about how to manage the taxi software, but sometimes it is still very convenient for me to take the taxi software. I think the taxi software is for emergency use."

Mr. Lee, the company staff on the New Deal in the "call information pushed only empty car" applauded, "sometimes get on the car, the driver's taxi software is still ringing, one is very noisy, and second, also affect traffic safety what."

Driver: Astonish taxi software legalization

After Master Wang, a taxi driver, learned about the New Deal, he was surprised that the government even admitted the legal status of taxi software. Master Wang had not used the taxi software before, but some of his colleagues had used it. He said he would consider installing one if he observed more colleagues and passengers using it.

Another driver installed a taxi software application taxi driver told reporters that in order to grab a single he also bought a fixed mobile phone shelf, the use of taxi software did reduce his empty rate.
