Recently, a city and rural bus in Changsha has launched the regulations of "one person, one belt", which has become a hot spot of public concern. Some passengers reflected: when they take the local Xingtong No. 3 bus, passengers can only get on the bus when there are empty seats on the bus, and during peak travel periods, if there are no seats at some intermediate stations, passengers can only watch the car drive over.
According to the Changsha Xingtong Public Transport Development *** posted the "Changsha County Urban and Rural Public Transport Vehicles "One Person, One Belt" Notice, according to the spirit of the Changsha County Transportation Bureau's document, during the Spring Festival transportation period (January 26 to March 5), urban and rural public transport vehicles must meet the "one person, one belt" to participate in the transport, and the vehicle seats are full and no longer take passengers, and passengers who have not boarded the bus are waiting for the next trip. If a passenger forcibly gets on the bus and does not listen to the advice, the driver has the right to refuse to leave the car and can wait for the traffic police department to deal with it on the spot. In this regard, the staff of the local urban public transport affairs center said that in order to ensure the safety of passengers, urban and rural buses are not allowed to stand up.
It is worth noting that the notice was signed on February 5, but the "one person, one belt" required by the notice began on January 26, and the notification time was much later than the implementation time, and the sudden change in the riding rules also caused the travel plans of some citizens to be affected.
Some netizens believe that "this regulation is unrealistic and not convenient at all", and some netizens said that "how do you commute during the rush hour, which increases the travel and time costs of citizens"; Some netizens also said that it is understandable that this is to ensure the safety of passengers and avoid accidents such as falls and collisions caused by standing.
Urban and rural bus passenger transport is an important mode of public transport between the city and the township and the countryside, and the operation mode of these urban and rural buses has its own characteristics, as well as safety risks and management difficulties, so is this provision really reasonable?
From a safety point of view, it is necessary not to allow passengers to stand on the bus. Different from the urban road traffic environment, the road traffic environment is more complex, and the poor traffic conditions lead to a higher risk of traffic accidents in urban and rural bus passenger transport.
However, the contradiction between "safety" and "capacity" exposed this time is not a fundamental strategy for eliminating potential safety hazards. This temporary "one-size-fits-all" measure, nominally to ensure the "safety of the Spring Festival", actually explores the way for the management of public transportation in various places. How to achieve a balance between "safety" and "convenience" in public transportation requires relevant departments to promote more subtle and flexible supporting measures in a timely manner in addition to the regulations.
Under the premise of paying attention to passenger travel efficiency and ensuring safety, urban and rural public transport passenger transport should pay attention to regionalization, integration and standardization in relevant management practices, adopt more mobile scheduling strategies in terms of public time, route and time period, and strive to provide citizens with a civilized and high-quality riding experience, so that convenient public services can truly facilitate the people.
