Once upon a time, a piece of dirt road became an oil road, which gradually became a net and connected to the streets. A bus passing through the township and Tongcun village radiated to various villages, shortening the distance between the cities and the countryside, and narrowing the mentality of the wanderers and their hometowns. In recent years, with the accelerating process of urbanization, the speed of public transport in urban and rural areas has been significantly accelerated. Relevant experts believe that passenger bus service is the trend of the bus operation industry, and it will also be a new round of challenges that passenger bus operators must face.
Faced with shrinking long-distance passenger <br> <br> in terms of overall passenger transport system, the main passenger transport more than 600 km long line of aviation, more than 400 kilometers of long-distance passenger transport is mainly borne by the railway, 400 km below the short-distance passenger transport by road Passenger and intercity railways divide. As far as China's current situation is concerned, the aviation industry has played an increasingly important role in long-distance passenger transportation with the gradual improvement of its operating system. On the other hand, the improvement of the railway network and the improvement of its operational efficiency have also led to the gradual emergence of railway transportation advantages. Compared with these two factors, the ban on sleeper buses and other factors have caused long-distance highway passenger transport operations to become increasingly difficult and are facing more and more restrictions and challenges.
"In recent years, the road passenger transport is faced with severe challenges. Firstly, the long-distance sleeper buses have stopped production and stopped signing, followed by the strict approval and supervision of passenger lines, strengthening the evaluation of the safety and suitability of the roads passing through the roads, and reasonably determining the operating routes, models and time periods. , Strictly control the inter-provincial long-distance passenger service lines and nighttime running time of more than 1,000 kilometers, rectify the existing long-distance passenger transport lines, resolutely stop the rectification and failure, and then implement the long-distance passenger vehicles from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. Stop operation or connect transport.
In today's fierce market competition, drastic reductions in tourists will directly lead to serious losses or even outages of long-distance lines. A person who did not wish to disclose his name told reporters that after Quanzhou opened the high-speed rail, the passenger transport company adjusted the passenger service line, mainly to develop the inter-provincial passenger bus service in the central and western provinces. The share will also be smaller and smaller.
Short-distance passenger transport was squeezed <br> <br> approval from the line, operating to regulation, long-distance passenger lines encounter layers of strict checks atrophy is a fact. So, will the situation of short-distance passenger transportation be better?
"The accelerating process of urban-rural integration has led to the extension of urban public transport and individual contracted lines to suburbs and townships. They are more economical in terms of personnel arrangement, maintenance, and maintenance, and thus have formed a great impact on the rural road passenger transport market. "Qing Guoqing, general manager of Qingdao Jiaoyun Group warm bus, said. From the point of view of the line, the scale of the city continues to expand, and people's travel needs are increasing. It is not only the competition between bus companies and passenger transport companies, but also many individual contracted inter-county lines. "Initially, in order to solve the problem of passenger transportation difficulties, the state allowed social vehicles to enter the passenger transport market. Later policy tightened and there was a method of calling and operating. In short, competition in the short-distance passenger transportation market has already formed." Qu Guoqing added.
For the integration of urban and rural public transport, Qu Guoqing stated that the integration of urban and rural public transportation is a general trend, and it will be sooner or later for city buses to replace the short-distance bus routes from cities to suburbs and suburban townships and towns. Although there will be an impact on the existing passenger transport lines, driven by the integration of urban and rural areas, the form of urban and rural passenger transportation will certainly usher in changes.
"Urban public transport enjoys financial subsidies and fuel subsidies on the policy, and passenger transport companies are responsible for their own profits and losses. This inherent inequality has determined that we are at a disadvantage in the competition." said Niu Zhenhe, deputy general manager of the Shijiazhuang New Trunk Line passenger company. The gap in operating costs makes it difficult for road passengers to compete with public transport even if they can provide the same services in the same area or line. "In addition to these, some bus companies have even expanded the scope of their operations to the shuttle bus business and used buses as shuttles to transport workers for the company." Niu Zhenhe said that the operating space of road passenger transport has been further squeezed.
Road passengers must break through
In view of this, the fact that the living environment of road passenger transport has been squeezed is an irrevocable fact. Many responsible persons of road passenger transport companies have stated that in the face of a changing market environment, road passenger transport must seek transformation. However, the direction of transformation, how to change the business model, how to face the changes in the new situation and improve the competitiveness of the market is a practical issue that needs to be considered in the face of the road passenger transport enterprises.
"Whether it is passenger transport by road, passenger transport by rail or passenger transport by air, the biggest beneficiaries are passengers. It is most important how to take countermeasures and achieve development in the competition," said Qu Guoqing. He believes that road passenger transport enterprises should give full play to the advantages of convenience and flexibility, and carry out timely integration of class lines in accordance with passenger travel patterns and passenger flow, adjust the density of launch classes, allow passengers to follow and create a brand of fast passenger train lines, and seize short-distance passenger sources. .
"The elimination of old passenger transport lines by urban public transport is an inevitable trend of development. While urban public transport is extending downwards, short-distance passenger transport lines should be withdrawn reasonably. At the same time, the relevant competent authorities must carry out the business scope of urban public transport and passenger transport enterprises. Reasonable division, to give a reasonable subsidy to the passenger line that should be withdrawn. "Qu Guoqing added.
At the same time, it is necessary to attract passengers by improving the safety and comfort of vehicles. The use of real-time monitoring of vehicles and upgrading of vehicles can improve the safety and comfort of road passengers and attract passengers to choose road transport.
"With the networking of expressways throughout the country, we will develop distinctive class lines and attract some long-distance travelers and business and poor travelers at reasonable prices, in a shorter time, and with flexible operation methods. Winning high-end business passenger traffic will also become a highway. A business opportunity for passenger transport. We purchased a new type of passenger car and gained more customer resources by improving the safety and comfort of passenger transport and our humanized services,†said Li Zhigang, stationmaster of Taiyuan Bus Station.
Niu Zhenhe also stated that in the face of market competition, it is necessary to take the road of intensive management on the one hand, use the advantages of scale to build passenger transport brands, and provide professional high-quality services in order to make up for the disadvantages of relatively high prices caused by costs; on the other hand, It is in the direction of business to make appropriate adjustments to minimize overlapping routes in the short-haul passenger transportation market, so as to avoid waste of resources due to unnecessary competition.
"The road passenger transportation must change the mode of operation is also a good choice, on-site charter service will become an important pillar of passenger transport enterprises. The company will later change from the passenger waiting mode to the on-board charter service model." The relevant person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Motor Transport Co. The reporter said, "To be passive is to take full advantage of the point-to-point advantage of passenger cars."
