Many provinces have issued draft rules for online car-hailing, which should proceed from the public interest

　　The current published online car-hailing management rules are exposure drafts, and some of the current regulations are not the final conclusion. They are seeking opinions and can only be said to be a plan.

　　The supervision of online car-hailing cannot be limited to the online car-hailing itself, but requires comprehensive management and a more objective analysis. For local governments to introduce new policies on online car-hailing, all localities should truly consider the issue from the perspective of the public and balance the interests of all aspects.

　　Recently, the four major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have successively issued the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing, which has been stipulated in many aspects. Subsequently, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin and other places have also introduced the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing.

　　From the content of the relevant exposure drafts in various places, the management of online car-hailing has become stricter, and what will happen to the online car-hailing that has attracted much attention in the future?

　　Local exposure draft concerns

　　After learning about the exposure draft of the regulations for online car-hailing in Beijing and Shanghai, Cheng Yu shared a joke on WeChat Moments: When my daughter went out, her mother told her, "Daughter, in the future, you must clean up before you go out. Don’t go out without washing your hair, especially when you want to call an online car-hailing."

　　"Why?"

　　"Beijing hukou, have local license plates, and drive cars with a displacement of 2.0L or 1.8T. This condition is not easy to touch. Now the new policy of online car-hailing has been screened for you."

　　As a white-collar worker in Beijing who has a long journey to work, Cheng Yu often uses online car-hailing, and recharging the online car-hailing platform is usually thousands of yuan at one time. Recently, she feels that the price of online car-hailing is more expensive than before.

　　"If the new regulations are really so high, the price will go up, and it may be more difficult to get a ride online in the future. It’s not easy to get a ride now, especially during peak hours and when the weather is bad, it’s not easy to get a ride online, and sometimes you have to increase the price." Cheng Yu also worried about another situation. "If the threshold is so high, local license plates and local drivers will become scarce. Will they hire a foreign driver to drive? Is the service still guaranteed?"

　　Compared with the hot discussion on the Internet about the network about the car management rules exposure draft, reporters contact the driver crowd but silent.

　　"It will definitely affect all aspects, and I don’t know about some places," said a non-local driver who drives online in Beijing.

　　Master Wang, a local driver in Beijing, did not appear too excited. Master Wang, a native of Beijing in his 50s, started working in the taxi industry in 1998. He did not care about Beijing’s detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing. He only described to reporters that it was not easy to open an online car-hailing car. "I started driving an online car-hailing car when Didi first got a reward of 15 yuan for an order. Later, the subsidy started to drop a little bit, and now it is gone. You are used to it, and we are used to it. Sometimes passengers who are in a hurry also add money. If it rains, passengers increase the fare, and we find passengers with higher fares to serve. Cruising taxi drivers have to work hard, and so do online car-hailing drivers. Like me, I get off work at 5 pm. Some drivers also work day and night shifts."

　　Don’t worry too much about the future of online car-hailing

　　It is understood that the four major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing almost at the same time. Media reports show that Beijing and Shanghai released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing, with a difference of about half an hour. A few hours later, Shenzhen and Guangzhou also released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing. Among them, the exposure draft of online car-hailing management in Beijing and Shanghai has attracted the most attention. Both Beijing and Shanghai require that the driver of the online car-hailing business must be a local household registration, and the online car-hailing vehicle must be Shenzhen stipulates that both local household registration and holders of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Residence Permit can apply for online car-hailing operations; Guangzhou is relatively relaxed, only requiring driver’s license, education level, and driving age.

　　After the exposure draft of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen’s online car-hailing management rules came out, the original situation of online car-hailing, the future development prospects have become blurred.

　　According to media reports, Didi Chuxing, the largest Internet taxi platform in China, responded that the new policy has raised the entry standard and is a disguised quantity control, which will lead to a significant reduction in online car-hailing and drivers, and a doubling of online car-hailing fares.

　　Professor Zhang Zhuting, director of the political and legal teaching department of the Management Cadre College of the Ministry of Transport, told reporters that "what is being released now is an exposure draft, and it is normal for everyone to raise opinions. These suggestions will be submitted to the decision-making department. Some of the current regulations are not the final conclusion, they are soliciting opinions, and can only be said to be a plan."

　　When talking about the impact on the future, Zhang Zhuting said that local regulations mainly have a certain impact on the local market, and it cannot be said that the regulations of one place can affect the whole country. Because the regulations of each city are different. For example, Beijing may have its own considerations, such as limiting the number of foreign vehicles, but it may be different in small and medium-sized cities, so it cannot be said that the regulations of one place have much impact on the overall market.

　　Regarding the impact of the number of drivers, Zhang Zhuting believes that "I don’t think it can simply be said to affect the supply of drivers, because it depends on how often the online car-hailing is really used as a cruise taxi. The number that people often talk about is actually the number of vehicles registered online, which actually includes a large part of private cars, and this part should be separated. Now we need to consider the number of online car-hailing cars with high level of activity, and then compare the number after the implementation of the new policy, so that it can be comparable."

　　Zhang Zhuting believes that people don’t have to worry too much about the future development of online car-hailing. The positioning of online car-hailing has actually been established in the Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services.

　　The online car-hailing policy is phased

　　For a long time in the future, online car-hailing will also become the focus of people’s attention. As a new way of travel, online car-hailing has been closely related to people’s lives.

　　"Online car-hailing is not only a change in transportation methods, but also carries other social functions, such as solving employment. This brings about a kind of’double-edged sword ‘effect. Due to the low employment threshold and the large number of employees, it brings population pressure to managers in big cities. The supervision of online car-hailing cannot be limited to the online car-hailing itself, but needs comprehensive management and more objective analysis." Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Law and Government at China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the current measures on online car-hailing introduced in various places have a certain stage. As a mode of transportation, online car-hailing will definitely be upgraded or updated with the development of society.

　　Xiong Wenzhao, a professor at the School of Law of Minzu University of China and director of the Research Center for Rule of Law Government and Local Systems, believes that the current exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing has some local characteristics, and the online car-hailing market needs to pursue a new balance of interests. For example, to make the network of cruise taxis smoother, and to properly handle the problem of foreign cars and drivers. At present, it has an impact on the market. For users, they will feel that there are fewer people providing online car-hailing services, and the convenience of taxi-hailing has an impact. But overall, the potential for private cars in Beijing to join the online car-hailing market is still great. Relying solely on Beijing brand Beijing nationality may still promote the orderly development of the market. For the local government to introduce a new policy on online car-hailing, there should be a transition. All localities should truly consider the issue from the perspective of the public and consider the interests of all parties in a balanced manner.
