Xiaosong: Congestion fee is an economic means

January 23 News, yesterday morning, Beijing CPPCC Committee members, Municipal Transport Committee deputy director Xiaosong at the group meeting on the issue of access to special trains. She believed that the passenger transport industry undertakes the security risk individual cannot undertake, "The special car" enters the passenger transport profession must obey the profession standard, needs to the vehicle, the driver age and so on the registration, provides the passenger the most basic safety safeguard.

 
January 22, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Committee related officials also said that many "car" is not in the tax scope, undermining market fairness. For the "special car" access to various departments have not reached a consensus, means that "private car" access has no timetable.
 
Xiaosong says the passenger transport industry is barred from private operations, mainly for security risk considerations. In the event of an accident, the individual's financial resources may not be borne. Many of the Japanese taxi drivers are over 45 years old, one of which requires drivers to marry and have children because they are more socially responsible.

Xiaosong that the service model, level and quality of the car are now standard taxis must learn. The introduction of the Internet to the traditional passenger transport industry is also an unstoppable trend. But the access system should comply with its minimum safety standards. Before the operation of the first to register, private cars can not be random passengers. Once there is an accident, it is the biggest problem who will take responsibility.
 
She believes that the access conditions mainly include two aspects, one is the means of transport, vehicle condition is standard, the second is the driver's qualifications, experience, and the use of vehicles to establish a corresponding mechanism.
 
At present, the network company that provides "the car" business has the technology, also has the fund. But enter the transportation industry, must understand its characteristics and requirements, first of all to meet the passenger most basic safety and security.
 
Yesterday, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Committee related officials also said that many "car" is not in the tax scope, undermining market fairness. For the "private car" reform, the departments have not reached a consensus.

66,000 is the lease sufficient?

The CPPCC meeting, some members suggested that Beijing's population increased from 10 million to 20 million, But the number of taxis has remained at 66,000, and the supply is not meeting demand.

In this regard, xiaosong that the urban traffic burden needs more reliance on public transport, the current Beijing taxi share of traffic accounted for 7% of the total urban transport, the foreign base is 4% to 5%. The number of taxis will not continue to increase, not only because of tight road resources, but also for energy saving and emission reduction.
 
Large and medium-sized cities should match the travel needs of public transportation such as buses and subways, and private transportation such as cars. Taxis, which are both public and private, are complementary to each other and can never be used as the main body.
 
She believes that the advent of the car is a stimulus to the traditional taxi industry. Regular taxis can not be stereotyped, mobile phone booking is a good way, both energy-saving emission reduction, but also reduce empty, reduce the fatigue level of drivers, with the help of the network to achieve demand and supply of the best horseWith。 Network booking technology must be introduced into the transportation industry, but need a process.
 
What's the point of blocking?

Traffic congestion is a hot topic in this session of the CPPCC, and several members have submitted the relevant proposals. Xiaosong, at present, Beijing has enacted relevant laws and regulations, the implementation of odd, road control, only the economic means used less.

Xiaosong believes that one important reason for traffic congestion is that the public is not aware of their responsibilities, demand is not reduced, and some families buy two cars to cope with the restrictions. In such cases, economic instruments may work. Heavily congested cities like Hong Kong, London and Singapore rely heavily on economic means. Hong Kong from the start of car purchases, car tax and annual licence tax is very high, starting this year, the purchase tax and annual fees increased by 15% per annum, illegal parking fines increased by 40%, meter charges increased by 40%. London began collecting congestion charges in 2003, and has risen from 5 pounds to £ 20 in the past few years.

Congestion charges are an economic tool, and it is necessary to ask for advice as to whether or when Beijing will take it. She thought that should be legal, administrative, economic, technical multi-pronged, open a comprehensive prescription can effectively "plugging".
