Historical background

Public transport is the window of the city and an important part of the urban public service system. The quality of public transport service is not only related to the vital interests of the broad masses of the people, but also an important symbol to measure the management level and civilization level of a city.

More than 50 years have passed since 1953. At present, there are five units operating buses independently in the urban area, operating more than 40 bus lines and owning more than 400 vehicles. However, the existing bus coverage, service quality and management level are far from meeting people's travel needs. Among the modes of transportation adopted by citizens, the sharing rate of public transportation is only 10%, which is one third. The increasingly serious urban traffic congestion not only causes huge economic losses, but also wastes resources and seriously pollutes the environment.

In addition, the operation order is chaotic and the distribution of lines is unbalanced; There are many bus companies, but the lines are single and disorderly; The bus starts at random, the interval is uneven, and sometimes the bus time is too long. There are countless public opinions.

Operation status quo

1. At present, there are five independent bus companies in Shantou: Shantou Public Transport Corporation, Shantou Guanzhong Bus Co., Ltd., Shantou Shenzhan Bus Co., Ltd., Shantou South Chen Gong Transportation Co., Ltd. and Shantou Nanxiang Bus Co., Ltd., and most of them are at a loss.

(1) The disorderly competition of bus companies leads to the waste of passenger diversion resources; There are many motorcycles. It is understood that there are nearly 400,000 motorcycles in our city. Most of the bus users are students and the elderly, and the number of bus customers is small, which leads to most enterprises operating at a loss.

(2) The bus operation cost is increasing. First, fuel prices are rising. Second, taxes and fees are heavy. Since 1972, the Municipal Public Transport Corporation has started to pay the utility surcharge. It is understood that bus companies in the province and other bus companies in this city do not have to pay this fee.

(3) The social welfare burden of enterprises is heavy. In recent years, the municipal public transport department has implemented free rides for veteran cadres, disabled people and disabled soldiers, and half-price rides for students below senior high school.

2. At the same time, due to the limited road resources, private vehicles are increasing day by day, and motorcycles have flooded in since 1980s, which has greatly restricted the development of public transportation in Shantou. Many citizens who travel by public transport only feel the economy of public transport when waiting for a bus or taking a bus, but not its convenience. Especially during rush hours, the bus congestion is serious, the bus is late and the waiting time is too long. Traffic chaos is also due to the illegal operation of motorcycles and the last three rounds, and the rectification efforts of relevant departments are not enough, which leads to further deterioration of road conditions.

3. Due to the operating losses of various bus companies, it is difficult to update the buses that are about to be scrapped, and the old cars are broken and continue to operate. The funds for purchasing fuel are difficult to turn around, the car condition is getting worse and worse, and the riding conditions are further deteriorated. At this rate, it is really difficult for enterprises to maintain normal operation, which involves the normal operation of some lines and brings great inconvenience to the public.

4. The route is relatively simple, with small coverage and many blind spots. Although the bus lines in Shantou have covered most areas of the city, the bus lines in some sections are too concentrated, but there are no bus lines in some places, and there are many blind spots. Moreover, some new expressway have been opened, and there is no new bus line configuration in the short term, which can't keep up with the development of the city and hinder economic development and transportation.

Many companies have their own businesses, but they mainly do their own business. Some buses are enabled with one card, and some buses still maintain coin-operated operation. This different situation has caused confusion in the whole market, and one card can not fully play its role, which has also brought great inconvenience to the public.

6. The bus running time is too short, and most of them are too short, which brings inconvenience to traveling at night. Moreover, there are too few night train lines. Therefore, at night, there are still too many private cars and motorcycles on the road, which has a bad influence on traffic conditions and urban environment.

7. Since Chenghai District 3 in Chaoyang and Chaonan was merged into Shantou, no real public transportation has been established so far, which has brought great inconvenience to people in non-urban areas. Public transportation is a popular project, and solving the problem of people's travel should be a basic function of the government and also a problem of social public facilities construction that must be guaranteed. We must establish a perfect public transportation to effectively connect central cities with non-central cities.

8. To develop public transport, government planning, supervision and market guidance are indispensable. The current situation in Shantou is to rely too much on market regulation and let it die. The government lacks effective control over the overall situation. For example, some routes are almost aimed at the path of concentrated passenger flow, and the route direction is not completely allocated according to the objective actual needs, and the actual needs and future development of citizens are not taken into account. Some people have to take a reasonable route as usual for the sake of passenger flow, but they have to go around a section of the road to the upper and lower points where school tourists are concentrated, and around one big bend after another, which is quite unreasonable in terms of direction, layout and line connection.

9. The station environment is not good. Most of the boarding and disembarking stations in the city don't have bus shelters, and it's very unbearable that it's windy and rainy, or that passengers have no shelter, such as the scorching sun and heat wave in midsummer. Moreover, the bus stop sign is obviously old, which not only affects the city appearance, but also creates a negative impression on foreign tourists.

10. The poor quality of some bus drivers, such as chatting while driving, smoking while driving, not wearing standard clothes and being rude to passengers, also affected the image of Shantou.

Public transport is a popular project, which directly determines the quality of life of the masses and affects the image of the government among the masses; Public transportation is also a systematic project, which needs to innovate ideas, straighten out mechanisms and integrate resources to better reflect and restore its public welfare.
