Whether car owners like it or not, Sichuan Province's etc electronic congestion charging system was officially launched at 8 a.m. this morning after several days of testing.
All vehicles entering and exiting the Second Ring Road in Chengdu on weekdays from 8-10 a.m. to 5-7 p.m. will be charged according to a set amount. All charges will not be done manually, but will be deducted through the etc system.
.
During the test a few days ago, there were still as many vehicles as ever, but this morning, reporters and camera trucks guarding various traffic arteries clearly saw that the traffic volume had significantly reduced after 8 o'clock.
one third.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, which is usually the most congested time, in addition to the constant flow of buses coming in and out, private cars miraculously decreased by one-half.
The continuous flow of traffic in the past has become much thinner now. Although there are tolls implemented on the first day, everyone has the factor of looking at the effect, but it can at least prevent the cars from lining up in three or five rows and move slowly forward more than 20 meters away.
, which is a very good phenomenon.
Naturally, the reporters did not let go of the private car owners who were still driving in and out of the Second Ring Road today, and seized the opportunity to interview them.
"There is no way. My home is far away from my work, and the buses are very crowded, so I have to buy a car to get to and from get off work. As a result, it is better now. We have to pay so much money, and we can only share the cost with several colleagues."
"10 yuan is just 10 yuan, what's so big about it? Am I still afraid of this little money? But some people in our unit gave up. They said that 20 yuan is equivalent to a good lunch, and they gave it to the government in vain.
It’s really such a waste.”
"This etc. charging system is too sensitive. When I got closer to about 5 meters, it gave me a notification sound, indicating that the deduction was successful. Wow, I feel so sad when I think that 100 yuan can only be used for 5 days!"
"Although the hatchback is only 5 yuan, I think it is still equivalent to the starting price of a taxi. I am considering driving it for a month to try it. If the cost is too high, I may have to drive less."
"The money from this etc. alone is nothing. I heard that the city has decided to raise fees for underground and on-street parking lots to alleviate congestion in the main city. If that's true, I'm afraid I will have to drive less.
, the increase in expenses by several hundred yuan a month has a huge impact on our small family."
"..."
Of course, more people are complaining that the government's fees are too harsh. Without manual payment, fees will be automatically deducted as soon as they pass through. There is no way to escape.
Compared to them, people who usually take buses to work have the same complaints.
"Oh my God, I only knew that the buses in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen looked like canned fish. I didn't expect that one day our Chengdu would be like this too! I can hardly breathe."
"Who says it's not the case? In my car, several old men and women will be squeezed to tears!"
"It would be nice to be able to get on the bus. The queue here is more than 30 meters long. We need the police to enforce discipline to prevent people from swarming up and causing a stampede."
"Really, I have never seen buses in Chengdu so crowded. How many of those driving have given up driving and squeezed into the bus with us?"
"I heard before that the city government ordered a new batch of buses and opened new bus routes. I thought they had nothing to do. Now I know, this is absolutely necessary!"
"..."
When the news was reported to Xiao Xu's office, people from the transportation department were also reporting the situation.
"According to the report of the etc. department, during the peak toll period this morning, a total of 10,000 vehicles entered and exited the Second Ring Road in Chengdu, with a total revenue of about 1.5 million." An official from the transportation department said, "If this situation is followed, it is estimated that every day in the future
The income should not be less than 2 million, and the maximum can be more than 3 million. Not only will there be room for departmental expenditures, but also subsidies for highway and municipal construction."
Zhang Jingjing took the information that had just come out and handed it to Xiao Xu while shaking her head and saying: "Your financial income in this area is quite good, but compared to the poor transportation of ordinary people, it is still a bit troublesome. Today's bus routes
Additional buses have been added during peak hours. The frequency is as high as three minutes, but it still causes a lot of overcrowding. Some buses are crowded with more than 100 people. If there is a slight disturbance and an accident occurs, it may be difficult to end it.
.”
"It can't be said that the crowded time is only the rush hour. If we only increase the number of buses purchased during this period, it will be a waste of time and money." Wang Minsheng also expressed his opinion on the side, "I think it is better to speed up the subway.
Construction, and the underground and above-ground transportation should be merged as soon as possible, so that the public transportation problem can be solved to the greatest extent."
"But the operation of Metro Line 1 will take at least half a year. Water from afar cannot quench our thirst for nearness," said another official who participated in the discussion.
In the previous life, Chengdu's Metro Line 1 started operation at the end of September 2010. However, in this life, because Xiao Xu took over Chengdu, it has been tilted in terms of funding and technical strength, so it can be put into trial operation in October this year at most.
, it will be officially launched in December without much problem.
For this reason, many people persuaded Xiao Xu to postpone the congestion control plan and implement it together with the opening of the subway, which would make it more foolproof.
But Xiao Xu thought differently. Chengdu is now a pilot project, so data from various periods are needed, including those with and without subways.
Therefore, we will start congestion management for half a year and take a look at what needs to be improved and what areas can be further developed.
"To say that the happiest people right now are the taxi drivers." Zhang Jingjing said with a smile, "According to the data, from seven o'clock this morning to around eleven o'clock, taxis were basically hard to find.
situation. If this situation continues, it is estimated that taxi drivers’ monthly income can increase by 50%.”
"As long as we don't solve the serious congestion during peak periods and make transportation easier for most people, it can't be considered a success." Xiao Xu smiled slightly, "Well, according to the current situation, tomorrow morning we will also temporarily adjust the popular bus routes as planned.
According to the number of vehicles, put those vehicles on unpopular routes into it.”
"yes!"
The traffic department official nodded.
"Everyone, don't be too nervous. It's only the first day, and nothing is the final result." Xiao Xu looked at them, "You have to remember that everything is based on the convenience of the people. Please pay more attention to it.
Based on the actual situation, I hope to see the most practical suggestions come out to help solve the problem."
"yes."
A group of people all replied respectfully.
They knew that Xiao Xu was not lying. After he took office as the municipal party secretary, secretary and mayor of Rongcheng City, the biggest policy he implemented was meritocracy. As long as you have no problems as a person, you can think of ways to solve them.
, then how many results you can get, how much rewards you can get.
Among them was a section chief of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. He proposed a method that could not only save water resources but also beautify the city to the maximum extent. After a trial and found it to be effective, Xiao Xu made an exception and promoted him to the deputy director of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau.
.
There is also an ordinary staff member of the High-tech Zone who wrote a scientific and effective allocation plan when dealing with the water and electricity supply of many companies. It not only successfully solved the problem of resource disputes, but also greatly improved the efficiency of energy utilization, directly
He was promoted by Xiao Xu to deputy director of the High-tech Zone, specifically responsible for the deployment work in this area.
There are many things like this.
Xiao Xu promotes talents in such an eclectic way that many young civil servants in Rongcheng City have climbed to higher positions by relying on their abilities.
The officialdom has always been a place lacking in vitality. Xiao Xu injected such a fresh breeze, which not only made Rongcheng's governance more dynamic, but also made these mediocre officials feel a sense of crisis all the time.
Where do you think those young people got their official positions when they came to power? Didn't they take them from the old people?
And others don’t dare to suppress you, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you file a complaint!
Wasn't that how the deputy director of the Finance Bureau was fucked to the bottom last time?
When everyone left the office, Xiao Xu left Zhang Jingjing behind.
"Jingjing, I heard that you have been having some relationship problems recently?" Xiao Xu asked harmoniously, "If you need to rest, you can rest for a while."
He is not being pretentious, nor does he have other agendas.
It was true that Zhang Jingjing worked too hard during this period and did not rest at all. Xiao Xu was surprised and asked about it, and then he found out the reason.
That's why I wanted her to take a rest.
"No need." Zhang Jingjing shook her head, "We can discuss emotional matters later. Right now, I focus on work. I will start dating again when I have a chance next time. If you have nothing to do, I will go out first.
busy."
"Okay..." Xiao Xu couldn't say much, "Although love is important, it is not everything in life. As long as you can be strong."
"Um."
Zhang Jingjing left the office with a smile.
But as soon as she walked out of the door, her face darkened.
There is no doubt that Zhang Jingjing's mood has not been good recently.
Using work to numb herself was the best way she thought. It was far better than traveling alone.
You know, if you do nothing, the feeling of emptiness will be even more uncomfortable.
Thinking of Long Bowen, Miss Zhang Er is still full of grievances and heartache.
Speaking of which, men are all cheap!
There are women everywhere, and new people forget the old ones!!
Zhang Jingjing gritted her teeth, but deep loss and sadness welled up in her heart. (To be continued.)
ps: Actually, I think JD.com is much better than Taobao as a purchasing agent for towns and villages, because Taobao is a mixed platform, and Tmall is not completely reassuring. JD.com, which does its own purchasing, at least has a more secure supply of goods. Anyway,
, this kind of behavior that does good things for the farmers in the towns and villages cannot be done too much! h211
