Because the elderly take the bus for free, which disturbs the legitimate rights and interests of other passengers, and also squeezes normal commuting, making many office workers unable to get on the bus. Recently, a representative of Baotou City proposed to adjust the policy of free bus travel for the elderly. Although the existing national regulations are that the elderly can take the bus for free, it should not be based on the premise of disturbing the legitimate rights and interests of other passengers. In recent years, with the deepening of the degree of aging in China, the life problems of the elderly are also increasingly concerned by the society. Among them, the travel problem of the elderly has always been a prominent problem.
The elderly are an important part of the society. They have made great contributions to the society and should be respected and cared for by the society. The physical function and economic condition of the elderly are relatively weak, and the travel problem is a big problem for them. The elderly can take public transportation for free, which can undoubtedly reduce their economic burden, and improve their travel convenience, so that they can better integrate into society. However, for better development, it is better to set the free ride period at the top, take measures to break the rush hour and provide good travel for office workers.
The adjustment of free public transportation for the elderly needs the joint efforts of the government and all sectors of society. The government needs to increase the attention to the travel of the elderly. It is important to make a better plan for the travel of the elderly. At the same time, all sectors of society also need to pay attention to the travel problems of the elderly and provide them with more considerate services and help. Again, free lunch does exist in China, but we need to weigh the pros and cons, take care of all aspects, and put the overall situation first.
For better promoting social development, the adjustment of free public transportation for the elderly is a good policy proposal. If the government and all sectors of society can work together to formulate more flexible policies and provide more convenient travel environment for office workers, it will undoubtedly enable better socio-economic development.
