High dimensionality.
Not long ago, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province launched dynamic bus and responsive stop bus services. Since the pilot operation of the service, it has been praised by many citizens.
The so-called dynamic bus is actually equivalent to the bus version of online car-hailing. Citizens can open the corresponding service page with their mobile phones to make an appointment to call a car, which has the advantages of both buses and online car-hailing. On the one hand, as a basic public service, buses are more cost-effective;On the other hand, online buses are flexible and mobile, do not have to stop at every stop, and the main focus is "point-to-point" pick-up, which can achieve "on-call".
Data show that from 2014 to 2019, the number of people taking public transportation has been decreasing every year, and the average annual natural loss of passenger traffic is 241%。In some places, there are difficulties in the operation of public transportation, and it is imperative to find a way to break the situation. When people's travel choices become more and more diversified, how can public transportation find new positioning and new roles in various modes of transportation?Ride-hailing buses may offer an idea.
Some people may ask, will this model be "applauded but not popular", but will cause waste?In fact, despite the relatively scattered demand for rides, the source of online bus riders tends to be relatively stable, but the operating costs need to be further diluted through precise and effective integration. When there is a large number of reservations, you can use big data and other technologies to generate the optimal routeWhen entering the service period, the vehicle can be parked in a relatively dense location to wait, reducing inefficient operation. Based on reality, we can better play the positive role of online buses.
In response to the different needs of passengers, some places are actively exploring new paths for public transport development and promoting diversified development. Dongguan and other places in Guangdong Province have launched the "bus wedding car customization" service, which has been praised as "both fashionable and low-carbon";Shandong Binzhou's "Bus +" continues to launch new services, non-emergency transfer services, rural passenger, freight and mail integration is remarkable;Zhejiang Ningbo Public Transport Group opened a feeder line ...... in the mode of "as soon as the subway arrives, the bus will depart".In the case that the price is difficult to cover the cost and the service attractiveness is insufficient, enterprises need to continuously innovate the service model and enhance the "hematopoietic" function.
Give enough room for innovation in urban public transport, and the management should be relaxed. Not long ago, the Ministry of Transport and other 9 departments issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of Urban Public Transport", clearly proposing to "optimize the customized public transport management process and improve the efficiency of handling" and other measures, which have laid a solid policy foundation for improving the quality and efficiency of urban public transport services and clarified the development direction of the industry. It is expected that with the joint efforts of all parties, the future of urban public transport can be diversified, and the service capacity and level will be continuously improved, so as to better meet the travel needs of the people.
