Official car reform is best less "bend"

Promoting bus reform from the perspective of energy conservation and emission reduction is a witness to the continuous progress of bus reform. This has at least five major benefits: First, the bus and private cars are included in the restricted area at the same time, which limits the privilege of the bus; Second, the bus limit is conducive to energy-saving emission reduction to improve air quality; Third, the bus limit is conducive to ease traffic congestion and improve the traffic environment; It is the foundation for the continuous reform of the bus reform, which saves costs for the operation of the bus, that is, reduces the burden on the taxpayer. Fifth, the restriction of the bus line extends from individual places to the whole country and sets an example for the restriction of vehicles.

Before this plan, individual cities such as Beijing have already adopted restrictions on buses and have generally agreed with them. However, more cities have not yet imposed restrictions on buses. After the introduction of this measure, it means that those cities that have not imposed restrictions on all vehicles will be the first to limit the use of buses. According to relevant statistics, the total number of buses in the country exceeded 2 million and the annual bus consumption exceeded 150 billion yuan. After the trip is restricted, it will surely receive effects in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, saving public funds and alleviating traffic. Therefore, the public is happy to see such reform measures.

However, there are still many issues that are worrying. For example, will some local government agencies purchase more buses to cope with bus restrictions? Certain departments will not have several license plates to evade “one less car a day”; some law enforcement agencies will not respect non-compliance. The buses that restrict movements have one eye closed. If these problems exist, the bus restriction will not only fail to achieve its purpose, but it may also give some government agencies the opportunity to waste public funds and use privilege.

Before the bus reform was promoted from the perspective of energy conservation and emission reduction, the curtain of bus reforms has been opened. Not only has the party and government agency registered the use of official vehicles and its use has been completed, it is said to require 100% registration of the bus; the party and government agencies have also issued detailed rules for the selection of models for the use of official vehicles, which clearly stipulates the amount of bus exhaust and prices; The Regulations for Administration of Public Administration (Draft for Comment) also stipulate: “The people’s governments at or above the county level shall promote the socialization reform of official vehicles”; moreover, cities such as Hangzhou and Guangzhou are already exploring the way.

Obviously, the "12th Five-Year Plan for National Action for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction" and other bus reform programs and management methods together constitute a major plan for China's bus reform. Although the focus of each small scheme or system is different, the purpose should be the same, that is, the reform of the bus should be pushed into the deep water area so as to reduce the waste of public funds, improve the traffic environment and air quality, and eventually eliminate the people's grievances. Reduce the burden on the people. Although all reform programs and management methods will receive some results, the author believes that it is still a bit "around".

In other words, for public bus reforms that are related to the public interest, it is better to issue a complete reform plan and directly enter into the reform theme. Few or no fragmented reforms are used. Because fragmented reforms not only make it easy to miss the opportunity for reforms, affect the efficiency of reforms, but they are inevitably omissions and difficult to monitor. In a nutshell, the high cost of fragmented reforms is not ideal. Therefore, even if the benefits of bus reform from the perspective of energy conservation and emission reduction are many, it is not as straightforward as the theme.

In my opinion, if the theme of bus reform is summed up in one sentence, it is “reducing the number of buses and operating costs” and controlling the number of buses and operating costs within a reasonable range. Unfortunately, rather than limiting the bus line, it is not willing to reduce the number of buses. One thing is certain: After the bus is restricted, public affairs will continue as usual. This shows that our bus number is obviously too much and the natural running cost is too high, but we rarely see the reduction of buses. Instead, the number of buses is still in the balance. Rapid growth. It is reported that in 2010 the amount of government procurement vehicles climbed to 80 billion yuan, accounting for 14% of the total procurement scale, with an average annual growth rate of over 10 billion yuan.
