On the morning of July 12, 2018, from 5 am to 7 pm, the morning peak of Thursday is about to begin. The peak of the taxi ride habitually awakens a WeChat group of nearly 300 people in Beijing. This situation has lasted for more than ten. Days, 'Where there are law enforcement officers in the car check' is the same theme.
During these ten days, the office workers found that the drops were not working.
Mr. Mao, the WeChat group, said, 'The drivers in the group are basically not regular, otherwise everyone will not ask or inform the road to check the situation at any time.'
According to the data publicized by the Beijing Municipal Traffic Enforcement Corps, the information on the results of administrative punishment shows that due to the use of vehicles that have not obtained the “Network Appointment Taxi Transport Certificate”, they are engaged in or disguised to engage in online car business activities, and will be punished from June 22 to 30. The number of people is 53, and the number of people who were punished from July 2 to July 10 was 250.
The number of penalties has increased by five times, which is due to the “Several Provisions on the Investigation and Handling of Illegal Passenger Transport in Beijing” which began to be officially implemented on July 1. The document stipulates that if passengers who operate without a license to make a reservation for a taxi (ie, a network car) will be seized The vehicle was fined.
Prior to this, Guo Zhenyue, deputy head of the Beijing Traffic Law Enforcement Corps, said in an interview with the media that from July 1st, the Beijing Traffic Law Enforcement Corps will organize a special action against illegal passenger transport for half a year.
Not only in Beijing, from the entry barrier to the implementation of laws and regulations, the recent supervision of the network of vehicles around the country is also tightening.
Regarding the strict supervision of the localities, Didi responded to the Economic Observer, saying, 'Please plan your trip ahead of time, use more appointments and carpools'.
Strict supervision
At 9:00 on July 7th, Mr. Zhuang, who lives near Shilibao, Chaoyang District, Beijing, issued a trip to the company four kilometers away. He just waited for nearly an hour at home and no one took the order. He finally chose I went to work by bicycle. 'I averaged three times a week to go to work. I played an express train or a special car in the past week. Every time I lined up with twenty or thirty people. I received an average of twenty minutes for the order, and the basic 5 minutes before. Someone took orders.'
Cheng Shidong, director of the Urban Transportation Research Center of the National Development and Reform Commission's Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute, told the Economic Observer that in Beijing, the difficulty of taking a taxi is definitely higher than before. The car that does not come out of operation is a vehicle that is not allowed by hard conditions. On the other hand, the conditions are met, but the vehicles that have obtained the vehicle transport license and the driver's license are still not available. After they operate the relevant documents and operate again, the problem of difficulty in taxiing will gradually ease.
'Conditions' appeared in the previous year. On July 28, 2016, the Ministry of Communications and other 7 departments jointly issued the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Network Appointment Taxi Management Services" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), the network car officially obtained legal status, the Chinese taxi The industry has entered the era of network car, cruise car compliance coexistence.
The above-mentioned "Measures" stipulate that the network driver must obtain the "Network Appointment Taxi Transport Certificate" and the "Network Appointment Taxi Driver's License". Otherwise, it is not allowed to engage in network car business activities. How to obtain these two documents, It stipulates that the standards set by the existing methods are subject to the provisions of the local authorities for obtaining two documents.
From the end of 2016, on the basis of the “Measures” promulgated by the 7 ministries and commissions, the “Regulations on the Administration of Network Appointment Taxi Management Services” (hereinafter referred to as the “Rules”) have been successively issued. The details of the two documents are included in the rules. Therefore, whether the documents are obtained or not becomes the criterion for the compliance of the contracted vehicles, and it also becomes the basis for the law enforcement agencies to punish the illegal vehicles.
'Dalian has 9 network car platforms, 7,000 people have obtained the qualification of network car, and 4000 cars are legally admitted. The actual network of cars before May 2018 is 25,000', which is rented in Dalian. Qin Haiqun, Director of the Automobile Management Department, gave a report on the operation of Dalian City Network Cars to reporters at the National Taxi Industry Development and Reform Symposium held on July 10 (hereinafter referred to as the Taxi Seminar).
Qin Haiqun introduced at the taxi seminar. Since May this year, Dalian has launched a three-month special rectification campaign against the illegal operation of the taxi market. 'As of now, the average daily turnover of the network is reduced from 2.8 million before the cleanup to The current 1.8 million yuan, the actual operation of the network to reduce the number of cars to 8 859 units. Now the daily request for the drip platform to report the illegal network about car cleaning. Not in line with the industry management department to provide data related to network car operations, will be multiple times Constantly fine. '
In Shanghai, from April to May 2018, the Shanghai Traffic Enforcement Department launched three special operations for illegal traffic-related vehicles. From April 5 to 20, Shanghai investigated and dealt with 1028 illegal “net-cars”, including 154 vehicles and 784 non-Shanghai personnel. (Shanghai local car requires local license plate, driver is local household registration)
In Nanjing, on April 19, the Nanjing Municipal Transportation Bureau and the Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Management Bureau jointly issued a notice stating that from 0:00 on April 21, the Nanjing Municipal Transportation Bureau suspended the acceptance of taxis (including online reservations for taxis). New capacity licensing matters. This also means that the relevant departments in Nanjing will suspend the licensing of new network vehicles, and Nanjing has become the first city in the country to control the quantity of vehicles.
Regulatory problem
From the very beginning, it was full of controversy and reproduction. By 2016, the "Measures" introduced the legalization of the network car. Now, after two years of violent development, the impact of the network car on the traditional parade taxi, increase traffic pressure, Issues such as the challenges of government regulation are beginning to emerge.
Cheng Shidong said that the current taxi ride is a process that is more standardized in the taxi industry. 'If there is a certificate, the same is true, it is unfair to the compliant driver. Exclude the non-compliant driver through law enforcement. The business volume of compliant vehicles will increase substantially, and then the qualified drivers and vehicles will have the enthusiasm to go through the relevant procedures, thus forming a positive cycle, realizing the healthy development of the industry, and ultimately protecting ordinary passengers. Safety, provide them with better service. '
Liu Wenjing, a professor at Jinan University Law School, said at the taxi seminar that the so-called auto platform autonomy - government management platform, platform management driver is unrealistic. 'Platform supervision of employees is a kind of business management behavior, the foundation is Labor contract or contractual operation agreement, only in the case of labor contracts and contractual operation agreements, enterprises can manage employees. However, most of the current network vehicles have no contractual operation agreements or labor contracts. Platforms and drivers have become interests. Community, so the platform has neither demand nor motivation for regulation.
In addition to platform autonomy, Liu Wenjing also said that it is unrealistic for the government to directly supervise every driver of the network. She said: 'Popularly speaking, the supervised objects are always swimming, they are always illegal, if the government manages every A driver, the regulatory efficiency will be very low, and the cost of supervision is also very high.'
Wang Jun, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law who has been engaged in the development of the taxi industry for many years, told the Economic Observer that the pressure on the urban traffic order during the development of the network car can not be ignored. He cited Beijing as an example for more than a decade. The number of taxis in Beijing has been kept below 70,000. It is because Beijing's road resources are scarce. There are also many private vehicles. The number of taxis must be limited. 'The emergence of the network car now breaks this situation and aggravates the traffic. The burden. Beijing’s policy of requiring the city’s Beijing-based Beijing-based brand and strict regulation is that the government wants to use the regulatory approach to allow ordinary consumers to use public transportation more than to use taxis.
In the notice issued by the Nanjing Municipal Transportation Bureau on the quantity control of the networked vehicles, the reasons for the number control of taxis and networked vehicles were also mentioned: Since 2017, the number of online booking taxis has grown rapidly, and Nanjing currently has nearly 2 Ten thousand network reservation taxis, plus the original cruise taxi, the total capacity has reached more than 30,000. Recently, some network car platform companies to seize market share, use unqualified vehicles and personnel, using high two-way subsidies below Costs and other irregular business practices have destroyed the taxi market environment and brought tremendous pressure on the city's traffic order.
Multi-interest game
According to the 41st Statistical Report on China's Internet Development released by China Internet Network Information Center (CN-NIC), as of December 2017, China's network of dedicated car or express passengers reached 236 million, an increase of 68.84 million compared with 2016. People, the growth rate was 40.6%, and the user usage ratio increased from 23% to 30.6%, an increase of 7.6 percentage points over 2016.
As the old and new formats of the taxi industry, the relationship between the network car and the traditional cruise taxi has always been a key point in the academic and industry disputes.
Wang Jun said that the emergence of the network car did lead to a certain conflict of interest between the two, impacting the business model of the cruise taxi, diverting the original taxi order. 'But the two are not zero-sum games, many Demand cruise taxis can't be met. For some locations at certain times, cruise taxis can't be reached at all, and the network car can pick up and drop off passengers according to the order information.
The development of the network car to the present, the competition with the cruise taxi has been inevitable. But Wang Jun said that the original intention of the regulatory layer is more hope that the network car and the cruise taxi to form a differentiated operation, to achieve misplaced development. He explained: 'Now the requirements for the wheelbase and exhaust volume of the network car are higher than that of the cruise car. The entry threshold for the network car is gradually increasing. In fact, the supervisory layer hopes that the car will go to the high-end mode and make it change. Into high-end business travel, this also slowed the impact on the cruise taxi. '
At the aforementioned taxi seminar, Qin Haiqun defined the current relationship between the two from the perspective of 'mutual competition and mutual promotion'. He said that in the past, Internet companies were involved in the taxi field, forming a confrontation between the old and new formats. But in fact this kind of opposition is not absolute. The impact of the network car on the traditional cruiser is a good thing, this is a development trend, it is not acceptable to disagree. This also in turn promotes the traditional industry to embrace the Internet era.
Liu Wenjing also conveyed the same point of view at the taxi seminar. She said that competition is a must for guaranteeing and improving service quality. Competition will be played at any time. Traditional cruise taxis can use Internet tools to upgrade their industries and upgrade their services. Net car can also develop in a more compliant direction.
