In the future, the special car will also have a guide price dialogue person: Minister of Transportation and Transportation Yang Chuantang Beiqing Daily: What do you think is the current strong development of the special car market?
Yang Chuantang: Innovation should be encouraged. We will get a guiding opinion right away, and we will definitely introduce it this year.
Beiqing Daily: After the introduction of this opinion, is it possible for a private car engaged in special vehicles to obtain legal status?
Yang Chuantang: Impossible. There must be an operation permit, of course, this operation certificate is different from the previous operation certificate. In the process of formulating the guidance, taxi positioning, total amount control, and price supervision will be considered. For example, there must be control over the price.
Beiqing Daily: After that, the special car will also have a guide price?
Yang Chuantang: Right. There must be a guide price for buses and taxis. Prices are different now.
Beiqing Daily: Last month, the two largest taxi software companies in China reported the merger with the rapid announcement, and some people worried that this might be suspected of monopoly.
Yang Chuantang: It is not easy to judge whether a monopoly is involved, because the cooperation between the two companies should be said to be a positive step, but we will pay close attention to their development in the next step. Everyone has always said that the taxi market is monopolized. In fact, there is no monopoly. The main problem is that passengers report that it is difficult to get a taxi, the cost is high, and the management is not in place.
Beiqing Daily: In the local corruption cases in recent years, the transportation department seems to be a hard-hit area. Many traffic control bureau chiefs have fallen, and there are many cases.
Yang Chuantang: Well, there are probably more than 20 directors of the Transportation Department (checked). About one-third of them are due to their own corruption; the second is related to traffic engineering; the third is that there are problems elsewhere, and the post-work is transferred to the Department of Transportation and found out.
Beiqing Daily: So many officials in a system have been investigated. Where is the problem?
Yang Chuantang: Mainly in the system management. Many people will ask, how many traffic bureau chiefs are corrupt, why are there not in the various departments of the Ministry of Communications? In fact, it is because we are different in system design. At present, all the main responsibility for infrastructure construction is at the provincial level, and the Ministry of Communications is only responsible for making plans and handing them over to them.
Beiqing Daily: How to strengthen the supervision of the provincial transportation department?
Yang Chuantang: Supervision is only one aspect, mainly from the officials themselves. In the future, we must be more perfect in the system, closely combine the rule of law and the rule of virtue, and we must strengthen the supervision of the masses.
Beiqing Daily: Which areas are the hardest hit areas of traffic system corruption?
Yang Chuantang: The areas where problems occur are mainly in bidding, procurement, and construction land.
