Why do we have to outworn for a taxi operation card?

If the operation of private cars has not harmed the interests of the original operators and ensured the interests of the passengers, what is the best way to win? The only obstacle is that this approach may contradict some of the provisions of the Road Transport Ordinance.

Yesterday, Transport Minister Yang in the media interview, said, never allow private cars into the car category to operate, "never allow" five words a, immediately aroused countless ripples in the market.

"Not allowed."

Why is it prohibited for private cars to be involved? Many people interpret it as a vehicle for the benefit of the taxi company. Because the current taxi market has strict quantitative control, taxi companies need to pay a very high cost, although the majority of cities are no longer directly to the number of operating taxis, but the shadow price of operating vehicles can be in the second-hand transfer market, many city taxi operating card transfer price of more than 500,000 , even in millions.

If private cars are allowed to enter the market, it means that traditional taxis-even rental vehicles-face unfair competition, so it is really necessary to maintain fair competition in the market.

Early operators receive huge profits

However, it should be noted that the current transfer of taxi operating licence is most of the transfer in the second-hand market, and these certificates were issued more than 10 years ago or even 20 years ago, through more than 20 years of operation, the vast majority of owners have withdrawn their investment.

More importantly, taxi operating license belongs to the franchise granted by the government, in theory, the way to obtain the taxi operating rights should have the limit of years, but in fact, the original taxi operating card companies or individuals are in the sustainable operation, while in other franchising industry, but rarely have no limit.

This shows that, in the premise of not increasing the taxi licence, the franchise granted by the taxi company is in fact once and for all, which is the most unfair to the potential operators who are interested in operating taxis: they must go to the existing operators to obtain a taxi business license at high cost, The previous operators have already recovered their investment through more than 10 years of operation, while they can also transfer the shell resources to obtain huge profits.

Open the black car to market spontaneous choice

In the absence of a chance to obtain a taxi operating license, so the opening of the black car has become the market's spontaneous choice. According to the Ministry of Transport issued the "2013 Transport Industry Development Statistics Bulletin", The end of 2013, the country owned a total of 1.34 million taxi operating vehicles, the study of the black market veteran media Wang Keqin has assessed, in the market does not have a license to operate a taxi business vehicles-that is, the community said "Black Car"--more than 2 million vehicles. In other words, the legal taxi is not much more illegal. When the number of legal practitioners in an industry is less than that of illegal practitioners, it might be useful to say that the government's quantitative control of the market may be a failure.

Ironically, the market simply lacks the "black cars" that do not have a license to operate. At rush hour, in the subway station far away from the city center, when the bus has ceased to operate, we often have the trouble of not getting a taxi, but it doesn't matter, this time the "black car" meets your needs. However, it is necessary to remind that the service standards of these black taxis are uneven, many people often have the experience of slaughter-ordinary taxis only need 15 yuan taxi fares but these black cars but need 30 yuan or even higher. If only the price is too high, many times there will be unexpected security incidents. Despite all sorts of worries, the black car is the only option for many passengers in remote areas where the bus routes cannot reach or are short of taxis.

Car to curb the black market

But the advent of the car to the traditional sense of the black market has been curbed. By activating the current leasing company's stock of vehicles, the traditional rental vehicles to rent as a unit has become a timeshare, improve the efficiency of the vehicle, but also greatly reduce the passenger taxi costs, so the market is welcomed. But it should be noted that although, as Minister Yang said, many cities do not impose quantitative controls on leased vehicles, leasing companies still need costs to buy new cars, and the leasing companies do not have enough money to purchase new vehicles, which means that demand for rush hour is not met.

It is also important to note that assuming peak demand is met, this means that the off-peak vacancy rate will be very high – both in taxis and in cars, which means that huge amounts of investment will become very economic. Not only to meet the demand for rush hour, leasing companies do not need to add new input, so the private car affiliation becomes a very rational choice. Many private cars are willing to engage in a car business, not that they are willing to operate on the road all day, but to take a few passengers on their way to and from work. When more and more private cars are added to the car, the difficulty of getting a taxi in the rush hour will be solved, and this is exactly the nature of sharing the economy: not adding new inputs but just marginal changes to promote efficiency.

Private cars to join the operation happy

Let's say all cars are on a drip or a fast platform, then the two companies will have the obligation to audit the car's condition and the owner's service ability, consumers through the two platforms to obtain the basic protection, and this is the traditional black taxis do not have the function, Consumers also no longer need to worry about the quality of the services of the black taxis.

If the operation of private cars has not harmed the interests of the original operators and ensured the interests of the passengers, what is the best way to win? The only obstacle is that this approach may contradict some of the provisions of the Road Transport Ordinance. If it is only illegal, is it lawful to amend the law? More than 30 years of reform and opening up, as the fundamental law of the Constitution has been modified many times, such as state-owned enterprises and land systems, such as the most fundamental economic system is constantly changing, why should we for a taxi operating card and outworn?
