Minhang Line 18 bus inspiration from state-owned enterprises

According to Weibo published by the Shanghai Rail Transit Club, the private Huihua bus company, which originally operated Minhang 18 on June 5, suddenly submitted a report to the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ports and told that the line will stop operating on June 10. In this regard, Minhang District made emergency coordination and eventually took over on June 16 by Minhang Passenger. (June 19 Oriental Morning Post (blog, Weibo))

The reason why this privately-run “Minhang 18 Road” cannot be “opened” is due to “a serious shortage of drivers”. Why is there a shortage? The city transport management department believes that “the cost of social bus increases, and the drivers lose to higher-income state-owned enterprises. Bus." This is of course the fact. However, this fact is indicative.

There used to be a voice. It is said that it is for the development of public transportation, and private enterprises should also be included. This is a confusing statement that is often irrefutable. However, in fact, the bottleneck encountered by private enterprises in carrying out public transportation is that it is difficult to get rid of itself.

The main contradiction is business purpose. Public transport is essentially a "social security system for people's livelihood." This determines the purpose of the bus company's operations. It is basically not for profit, but for meeting the travel needs of passengers (public). However, because private ownership is a private ownership, its business is of course profitable. This is a legitimate “goal” and it is taken for granted; therefore, when a private enterprise runs a public transportation business, if it loses money for a long time, it It is allowed to withdraw. The ownership of state-owned enterprises is public, even if the state-owned enterprises are in short supply, they must continue to operate. The government responsible for the "social security system for people's livelihood" should bear and make up for it. Because, in the matter of public transport, state-owned enterprises represent "government behavior" or the concrete expression of "government behavior."

The public transportation is explained by the “private” to state-owned enterprises. In the process of social development, private enterprises cannot do everything and everything can do well. This does not deny the "two unwavering" efforts to consolidate and develop the publicly-owned economy without wavering, and unshakeably encourages, supports, and guides the development of the non-public economy. Similarly, the “encouragement, support, and guidance” of private enterprises is a system. The objectives to be achieved are both conducive to the development of the “own” economy of the non-public economy and to the all-round development of society. In fact, private enterprises contracted and operated bus lines, which eventually led to many problems. The case that had to be taken over by state-owned enterprises was not unusual in Minhang District of Shanghai. According to relevant persons from the government departments of the district, before August 2011, Wu Hao passed through the Minhang District to Xujiahui (002561), which is a famous “problem route”. At that time, this route was contracted and managed by a private company registered in Jinshan. The line was in disordered operation, poor car condition, punctuality, red light, love of Lai, and even two stops. Passenger complaints continued. Similar to this type of thing "private" thing, we still see less?

Public transportation by private enterprises to state-owned enterprises actually reflects a phenomenon. In the process of developing a market economy, for those "operations" closely related to people's livelihood, especially projects originally undertaken by state-owned enterprises, when it is decided to "transition" to private enterprises, they must be cautious and cannot "turn around." The." For example, when it comes to public utilities such as public transport, when the government department decides who should run the business, the focus should be on the quality of the social benefit service that the business operator should undertake. A person from the traffic management department frankly stated that the leading power of the bus company is dominated by the government to ensure its public welfare and standardization. Taking the state-owned Minhang Passenger Transport Service Co., Ltd. as an example, in September 2009, when the company was established, the Minhang District Construction and Trade Commission recruited management services from the government to ensure that the bus companies were re-directed by the government and maintained Efficiency and vitality. It can be seen that the public transport from the "private" to state-owned enterprises is worth our careful consideration.
