Planning taxis in Ji'nan
source: the author of the Ji'nan Daily: Zhang Zheng
for a period of time, a lot of people reflect that most of the city time, especially at the peak time, is very difficult, and many sections are not even waiting for an empty taxi for a long time. The view is that the number of taxis should be increased in urban areas. As the competent department of the urban taxi industry, the municipal public passenger management service center (hereinafter referred to as the city passenger tube center) under the municipal traffic and Transport Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the city passenger management center) said that the mitigation scheme is currently being studied.
the person in charge said that there are 8043 cabs in Ji'nan. Considering that Ji'nan is a single city without a subway, this number is more reasonable. There are about 9000 Qingdao in the domestic cities and 3600 in Ningbo. There are only more than 2000 Guilin cars, and the number of taxis in foreign cities is not as much as it is imagined, such as more than 4000 in Losangeles and more than 5000 in Stockholm.
from the point of view of the masses, "taxi hard" actually refers to rush hours and small peak hours. In this regard, the person in charge summed up the four major Crux: one is urban road congestion, the average speed is low, only 18 kilometers per hour, poor operating efficiency, passenger waiting time obviously extended; two is half of vehicles running in a single class, resulting in a half of the number of urban Taxis after 20 p.m. and most of the two bus needs. Transfer, meal, gas (gas), more gathered in the hotel, shopping malls and other passenger flow sites; three is the telephone service "ineffective", free operation of the driver's response will decline; four is the lowest level in Ji'nan, the level of the country's similar cities, has not been adjusted for nearly four years, the driver prefers to "lie down" waiting, Instead of an empty car cruise.
reporter learned that, in view of the current situation of Ji'nan single class taxi number, the city passenger management center is considering increasing the proportion of double bus (one car and double driving) as soon as possible so as to improve the operation efficiency of taxis without increasing the vehicle, in order to meet the travel demand of the late summer high peak.
it is estimated that the average driving distance of Ji'nan taxi operation is 5.5 kilometers. Between the two operations, each taxi needs to drive 3.45 kilometers on the road. Only this one, Ji'nan taxi will drive 900 thousand kilometers in one year. Shortening the time of "people looking for cars" and "car searching for people" can greatly enhance the efficiency of taxi operation. In view of this, Ji'nan will gradually establish a number of taxi waiting places in the city, so that passengers can actively find empty cars, taxis can also reduce empty driving, and get a time to rest.
empirically, price levers tend to have a more obvious guiding role, such as the possibility of raising taxi prices at the peak to attract more taxis to operate in this period. In this regard, the person in charge said that the price adjustment is an important means of adjustment. It has its theoretical basis and implementation space to adjust the transport price in a period of time. It is within the comprehensive consideration. It is worth discussing.
