Yesterday, an online article "Taiyuan banned the" Didi "special bus" spread widely. The Beijing News reporter learned from the relevant departments of Taiyuan that recently Taiyuan did carry out a special rectification action against illegal passenger transport, but not against the "special bus" action.

Taiyuan Took Three Months to Crack Down on Illegal Operation

According to media reports, Taiyuan launched a three-month taxi operation order rectification campaign on May 22. The purpose of this action is to crack down on illegal operation and illegal taxi operation, strive to create a standardized, orderly, civilized, warm, safe and comfortable taxi riding environment, and maintain a good image of the city window area. It is worth mentioning that the "Didi" express train and special bus are also included in the list of "black cars", and the citizens can get a reward of 100 yuan for each "black car" reported.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Xin, a citizen of Taiyuan, was still able to use the "Didi Special Car" to call vehicles. "There is nothing different," he told reporters, but the price of Didi special cars is on the high side, and he and his friends around now use this software less and less. "There used to be red envelope subsidies, but now it's not worth using without them," he said.

"Special cars are really under attack"

Beijing News reporter learned from Taiyuan Passenger Transport Office yesterday afternoon that this centralized rectification action is routine law enforcement, and illegal operation is rectified according to existing laws and regulations.

"Online reports have somewhat misunderstood our meaning. We are a regular law enforcement action." The relevant person in charge of the passenger transport office said that this action targeted unqualified operators and vehicles without passenger transport qualifications.

"According to the current laws and regulations, the special vehicles in operation are indeed within the scope of our attack," said the above person in charge, but it does not mean that this rectification is aimed at "Didi" enterprises. "The main reason why we are carrying out this action is that Taiyuan is carrying out" Five Cities Co creation "recently, requiring us to rectify illegal operations."

As for the Didi special vehicles that can still be used normally in Taiyuan, the above person in charge said that how to manage these vehicles now has to wait for the introduction of national policies. "The whole country has a game of chess, and we will have to wait for the Ministry of Transport's management measures to be introduced before we can take further measures." The person in charge said that it was not clear how to manage the special vehicle market at present.

At present, China has not yet issued a special online taxi hailing policy. Some experts said that the Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services is expected to be issued in May.

"New regulations for special vehicles" have not landed, and "cracking down on special vehicles" are frequently reported everywhere

It is reported that the adjusted "new policy for special vehicles" will be introduced in the near future, and Beijing and Shanghai will explore a new operation mode for special vehicles

Recently, some cities reported that "special cars" were strictly controlled, pointing to "Didi Special Cars", "Uber" and other operating platforms. However, under strict control, the special vehicles operated by these enterprises are still running on the road. Taxi enterprises, online car hailing platforms and all sectors of the society have different opinions on how to manage special cars, and they are waiting for the boots of the "new policy for special cars" to land.

The "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services", known as the "New Deal for Special Vehicles", solicited public opinions last October, and has been silent for nearly eight months. Recently, it was reported that according to the opinions of all parties, the adjusted "new policy for special vehicles" will be introduced in the near future.

Special rectification of illegal operation in several cities

New Beijing News reporters find Recently, many cities including Taiyuan, Jinan, Shenzhen and other cities have carried out special rectification on illegal operations. Due to the lack of vehicle qualifications and drivers' lack of passenger transport qualifications, a large number of "special vehicles" in the market have also become the target of combating illegal operations.

In May, the transportation management department in Jinan, Shandong Province allocated 900000 yuan to "stop" in key areas such as railway stations and bus stations to crack down on illegal operations. In the special action, a large number of operating vehicles of the special vehicle platform were seized, and even the local taxi drivers had some people to help the transport management personnel report the special vehicles.

The same law enforcement action has also been carried out recently in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. According to media reports, Taiyuan passenger transport management departments encourage citizens to report illegal cars, and reward 100 yuan for successful reporting. The person in charge of the relevant department of Taiyuan Passenger Transport Office also said that the special vehicles like Didi, which have no operation license, are also illegal and will be fined if they are found.

Although the management departments of the two cities mentioned above said that they did not specifically target special vehicles, their efforts to investigate and deal with them have had an impact on local special vehicle operations. A special bus driver in Taiyuan told reporters that he had quit after two years as a special bus driver because of the strict investigation and punishment.

Driver of Shenzhen "bottoming" special bus

The biggest direct blow to special vehicles is Shenzhen's "bottoming out" of special vehicle drivers. At the end of March this year, according to the report of the Shenzhen Municipal Commission of Transport, the recruitment of online taxi hailing drivers in Shenzhen was generally lax. According to the investigation of Shenzhen Public Security Department, among the online taxi drivers in Shenzhen find There were 1425 former drug abusers, 1 psychopath who caused accidents, and 1661 former criminal offenders.

This bulletin in Shenzhen is undoubtedly a heavy bomb dropped on the special bus platform. "The safety risks left by the unordered expansion of the special vehicle platform cannot be avoided." A traffic expert told reporters that during the period of rapid expansion of the special vehicle market from the end of 2014 to the beginning of 2015, most platforms did not strictly review vehicles and personnel, and a large number of private vehicles were operated. "Now that the special vehicle market has already existed, it is more urgent to introduce management measures to institutionalize the review of personnel and vehicles, and there are laws to follow," said the expert.

"New regulations for special vehicles" have not been issued for nearly 8 months

In October last year, led by the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Public Security Ministry of Industry and Information Technology The "new regulations for special vehicles" participated by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments solicited opinions for the first time. It is clearly stated that there are access restrictions for both special vehicle personnel and vehicles. The private car was blocked outside the special car.

After public consultation, some provisions of the "new regulations for special vehicles" have been revised, but the specific contents have not been announced.

Previously, some media reported that the revised special vehicle regulations still excluded the possibility of private cars operating, and set access conditions for special vehicles and drivers. What is relatively loose may be the controversial clause that "the local business license shall be applied for where the special vehicle platform operates", but the specific adjustment content is still uncertain.

According to the insiders, the new policy for special vehicles is expected to be introduced in the near future, and all regions will also step up their research on implementation methods according to the policies issued by the country. "The laws and regulations issued by the country leave a relatively large space for all regions, because the development of transportation depends on their own conditions."

Beijing and Shanghai Explore New Operation Mode of Special Trains

In fact, at present, some cities in China have found out a set of "special car" operation mode that conforms to their own traffic development. The reporter learned that the "Shouqi Taxi hailing" mode, which was named by Yang Chuantang, the minister of the Ministry of Transport, is in line with the current policies of Beijing. Taxi companies build their own platforms to attract qualified taxis and drivers to operate special vehicles.

Similarly, Shanghai also tested the special vehicle operation mode of taxi enterprises+Internet platform this year. Traditional taxi companies cooperate with Didi Travel Platform, with vehicles and personnel managed by taxi companies, and Didi Travel is responsible for online order dispatch, user operation, payment, etc.

Traffic experts said that although all regions are exploring the new operation mode of special vehicles, everything will not be finalized until the "new regulations for special vehicles" are introduced. At present, the way recognized by the transportation authorities in Shanghai and Beijing may also be adjusted after the new regulations are issued.
