The significance of controlling the number of buses is not only in "controlling the blockage"

The draft of the comprehensive measures for the prevention of traffic congestion in Beijing proposed that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, Beijing’s party and government agencies at all levels and full-funded institutions will no longer increase their official vehicle quotas. Based on this, in a certain period of time, the annual growth rate of minivans of units and individuals should be reasonably controlled.

In recent years, many places have discussed or promulgated measures to deal with traffic jams, including collecting traffic congestion fees, auctioning license plates, raising parking fees, and implementing tail number or odd and even number restrictions. However, these urban decision-making departments have neglected. Solve the problem of urban traffic congestion by managing buses. First, in terms of quantity, Beijing has about 700,000 buses, compared with 92 in Berlin, Germany. The existence of a large number of buses in many cities in China also occupies a large number of scarce road resources, creates a large amount of exhaust gas, pollutes the environment, and induces the phenomenon of private use of buses, causing a waste of fiscal funds and taxpayers’ taxes. For example, as Beijing does not increase the official vehicle index of party and government agencies and public institutions, and even compresses the number of buses retained on this basis, it will be helpful in effectively alleviating the degree of urban traffic congestion and promoting environmental protection to a certain extent. It will help to save the use of financial funds and promote the construction of a clean government. Therefore, the governance of urban traffic congestion should be an important entry point for the problem of bus management.

On the other hand, for the general public, of course, they should respond to the call to reduce the use of private cars as much as possible, and take more public transport to travel. However, with the economic development of our country, it is difficult for cars to enter the family. The fundamental purpose of the reform, opening up, and economic development is to continuously improve the living standards of the public, including the quality of travel, and constantly improve people's livelihood, including travel. Therefore, compared to purely controlling the growth and use of private cars, such as Beijing, no longer increase the official vehicle index, and even compress the number of buses on this basis, in order to better balance traffic congestion and improve people’s travel quality. The desire can not only help alleviate the traffic congestion in the city, but also help improve people's travel quality and enhance their well-being.

From another point of view, as Beijing does not increase the official vehicle index, or even compress the number of buses on the basis of this, it is also the need for the government to play a demonstration and lead role in managing traffic congestion. Since the government has called on the citizens to reduce the use of private cars as much as possible and travel more on public transport, they should first take measures to reduce the number of buses and reduce the use of buses. On the one hand, if the government collects traffic congestion fees from private cars, restricts vehicle licenses, increases parking fees, and limits the number of trains by tail number or odd and even number, on the other hand, the number of buses increases, and it is difficult to call for people to reduce the use of private cars. Play a role. Conversely, when the government calls on citizens to reduce the use of private cars, it can play a leading role by controlling the number of buses and reducing the use of buses. The relevant calls and initiatives will undoubtedly gain greater support and cooperation from the public.

It is precisely because of this that people are looking forward to the issue of managing traffic congestion. There are more places like Beijing to control the increase in the number of buses as an important entry point for resolving the problem of traffic congestion. The government mostly starts from itself and is in the process of governance. The role of leading and demonstrating in the problem of traffic jams. In this way, traffic congestion can be alleviated more effectively, and the problem of traffic jams can be balanced with the well-being of people's livelihood. It can further promote the construction of thrifty and clean government, establish and create the image of a responsible government, a people's livelihood government, and a clean government.
