Pricing Is Too Low To Hurt People'S Livelihood

Guangzhou taxi price adjustment scheme was heard on the 18 day in a query. Most delegates tended to start at a price of 10 yuan two. Judging from the hearing results, the price rise of taxis is almost a foregone conclusion.

In July 19th, Huang Yingjin, deputy director of the Guangzhou municipal passenger traffic management office, said that if the price was too low, it would hurt the public. Maybe the company would lay off staff and manage it badly. Finally, the quality of the driver's service would definitely drop, and ultimately the victims would also be the public.

Simply from

Economics

From the point of view, urban Taxis belong to business enterprises, not government agencies, and taxi companies have no doubt about their demand for price increases.

However, the head of the government departments responsible for the taxi industry, unlike the owners of taxi companies, should maintain a neutral stance and interpret people's feelings when expressing their views. They should not sit on the wrong buttocks and speak for the taxi companies in an effort to break up the discourse power of the ordinary people, resulting in a thickening of the psychological gap between the two sides.

In business, business is profitable.

Natural gas prices, oil prices remain high, taxi operating costs rise, timely adjustment of taxi prices is not beyond comprehension.

Although judging from the results of the hearing, the price rise of taxis is almost certain.

But how to adjust the price of taxis, and the price is low or not. We need to go through strict and perfect hearing procedures, fully listen to the opinions of all parties, and form prices on the basis of game theory.

The taxi company said that it did not count, nor did the deputy director of the traffic management department say.

How can the vice director Huang Ying Xian take the lead and presuppose the premise of "too low price to hurt the public"?

Taxi industry

The nature of pure public pport is different from that of subway and public pport, but taxis as an important supplement to public pport are walking into ordinary families, not luxuries.

Ordinary citizens also have time to take a taxi.

City taxis are important means of pportation that are closely related to the production and life of the general public.

The taxi industry has special monopoly property in the city, and the market competition is not enough. The relevant departments obviously can not use the pure market perspective to measure taxi services.

Ignoring the commonality of taxi industry.

Let taxi consumption become elitist and wealthy.

Moreover, upgrading the quality of public services, restoring the essence of public service products and improving the efficiency of public travel are becoming the consensus of the government and the society. The water and electricity enterprises have been calling for a rise, and taxi prices have been increasing at the same time, which has brought pressure to the people's livelihood.

The relevant departments should not take the alarming language of "taxi pricing too low and the interests of the public to be damaged" to avoid people's concerns about the core interests of stabilizing the prices of people's livelihood products.

Taxi companies can not ignore social responsibilities while seeking to raise prices.

Relevant government departments except

Public price hearings,

There are two things to do before making a game or dialogue between consumers and operators.

First, we urge taxi enterprises to disclose operational cost data to the public and accept supervision by public opinion.

To see whether a taxi company is "really deficit" or "crying poor", let consumers have a clear understanding of their accounts, not just to demonstrate the set of consumers do not welcome the price increase program.

Two is to determine the extent of price increases should give full consideration to the economic affordability of consumers.

Taxi companies should tap the potential inside the technology, save energy and reduce consumption, reduce the money and so on, and absorb the pressure of rising prices and bear the due social responsibility.

The local government should also take responsibility for this. We should not let the city taxi industry let go of the market game by holding the mentality of "throwing away the burden", allowing the "crying children to have milk to eat", and easily meet their demand for raising prices, so that the price of taxis will affect the interests of people's livelihood.
