How to break through shared motorcycles that have encountered difficulties in "regularization"
With the advantages of economy, environmental protection, and convenience, sharing electric bicycles has become a part of many people's travel life, but it also brings a series of problems such as disrupting traffic order.
"How to define shared motorcycles and how to regulate operation and management" has become a hot topic from all walks of life.
Although he was equipped with a helmet and passed the "driver's license", Chen Bin, who lives in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, had to say goodbye to the shared motorcycle that had accompanied him for three years.
Since 2017, riding a shared motorcycle has become Chen Bin's most common commuting method.
“It’s about 3 kilometers from my home to the company. It only takes ten minutes from opening the app to scan the code and ride to the parking fee.” In his opinion, this commuting method is not only economical, but also saves the need to drive in a private car. Trouble with parking.
Until recently, a reminder of "no car available" appeared on the phone screen, and Chen Bin suddenly discovered that all shared motorcycles in Jiangmen City had been stopped.
Today, Jiangmen City Transportation Bureau issued the "Notice on Recycling the Stock Sharing Electric Bicycles within a Time Limit."
The notice requires that related companies including Hangzhou Qingqi Technology Co., Ltd. (Street Rabbit, Green Orange), Beijing Mobike Technology Co., Ltd. (Meituan), etc., need to take the initiative to recycle all shared electric vehicles currently put in Jiangmen City before September 2. Bicycles, and no longer continue to put shared electric bicycles.
For shared electric vehicles that have been recovered slowly or have not been recovered after the deadline, the relevant functional departments of Jiangmen City will carry out actions to clean up the stock of shared electric bicycles.
Since its inception, the territory of shared motorcycles has gradually expanded and has become a part of many people's travel life.
However, like the controversial shared bicycles in previous years, the development of shared motorcycles has also encountered a bottleneck.
According to the "National Shared Motorcycle Industry Development Report" released by the China Urban Public Transport Association, there are currently more than 200 shared motor bike operators across the country, and a total of nearly 5 million shared motor bikes have been launched.
Among them, more than 50% of shared motorcycles have been put into use in regions above the county level, serving nearly 500 million urban residents.
In the development of shared motorcycles, "unidentified" is one of the embarrassments that it has never got rid of.
After investigating, the reporter found that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities still did not allow shared motorcycles to enter.
Since the beginning of this year, many cities with long-running shared motorcycles have shown "red cards" to them.
Where should shared motorcycles go?
How should relevant departments manage?
Become a hot topic in all walks of life.
Behind many "stops", shared motorcycles are still in doubt
In fact, Jiangmen is not the only city that has banned shared motorcycles in recent months.
In June of this year, the Transportation Bureau of Foshan City, Guangdong Province organized various districts to discuss shared electric bicycle corporate legal persons, emphasizing that Foshan "does not encourage the development of shared electric bicycles" and urged companies to clean up shared electric bicycles within a time limit.
Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province also announced similar measures at the same time.
The relevant person in charge of the Zhongshan Transportation Bureau said that shared electric bicycles are highly mobile, and the phenomenon of disorderly placement is prominent, and there are major traffic safety risks. This is also the main reason for its suspension.
As the number of motor vehicles continues to grow and the population gathers, travel problems such as urban road congestion and insufficient public transportation have become increasingly prominent.
After the sharing economy model set off by shared bicycles has been recognized by consumers, shared motorcycles for the pain points of short and medium trips of 3-10 kilometers have also emerged.
In an interview with reporters, Professor Pan Helin, executive dean of the Institute of Digital Economy of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law and author of "5G New Industry", believes that behind the increasing popularity of shared motorcycles is the real demand of the market.
"The advantages of sharing electric bicycles are obvious. They are green, environmentally friendly, fast and convenient, alleviating congestion, and suitable for diverse groups of people. Compared with other modes of travel, they have both advantages and strong positive significance." Pan Helin said.
He said that although it is widely welcomed by consumers, it is undeniable that shared motorcycles also have problems that need to be resolved.
"For example, a series of problems such as disrupting the order of the city, losing vehicles, accumulating vehicles in disasters, high safety risks, and high operating costs." Pan Helin said bluntly that the shared motorcycle industry is still facing the dilemma of policy tightening and capital end.
In fact, related policies have undergone several adjustments to the management of shared motorcycles.
On August 2, 2017, 10 departments including the Ministry of Transport jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Encouraging and Regulating the Development of Internet Rental Bicycles", which proposed that "the development of Internet rental electric bicycles is not encouraged."
On March 6, 2019, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 7 departments jointly issued the "Green Industry Guidance Catalog (2019 Edition)", which included Internet rental electric bicycles in the development of the green industry catalog, and clearly encouraged the development of the construction and operation of shared transportation facilities, and the development of shared transportation business.
It is considered as "shared motorcycles usher in market opportunities again."
According to the "2020 China Shared Motorcycle Safety Management Special Research Report" released by iiMedia, different cities have different attitudes towards shared motorbikes due to the impact of policies and the environment.
First-tier cities represented by Beijing and Shanghai clearly stated that they do not encourage the development of shared motorcycles.
The third- and fourth-tier cities and below have relatively loose control on it, but there are relevant regulations on quotas and operation management.
During the two sessions of this year, Gu Shuzhong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Resource and Environmental Policy Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, publicly suggested that relevant departments should guide and support the development of the shared motorcycle industry and strengthen the safety management of shared motorcycle riding.
Gu Shuzhong believes that although some local governments in Kunming, Changsha, Yinchuan and other local governments have officially issued documents to encourage the development of shared motorcycles, they have not yet given a clear positioning for shared motorcycles at the national level, and lack accurate development policy guidance and a policy environment to encourage development. The government remains on the sidelines of the policy direction.
"This situation restricts the healthy development of shared electric bicycles, and also brings operating cost pressures and investment risks to related enterprises." Gu Shuzhong suggested that the state should increase policy support and promote the establishment of a sound system that adapts to the development characteristics of shared electric bicycles. A new type of regulatory mechanism creates a market environment for fair competition and promotes the healthy and orderly development of the shared motorcycle industry.
In the face of stubborn illness, there should be no “one size fits all”, how to break the game in shared motorcycle management
In early June of this year, Wu Guangsong, who lives in Hefei, Anhui Province, suddenly discovered that shared motorcycles on the streets of the city were labeled with green license plates.
Different from household motorcycles, shared motorcycle licenses are printed with the word "common" in red, and they have their own "ID card".
Wu Guangsong also found that in fixed areas where shared motorcycles are parked centrally, such as subway stations and office building entrances, the accumulation of shared motorcycles has eased than before.
He confessed to reporters that he hopes that similar scientific planning and management measures can be more so that shared motorcycles can continue to operate in a healthy manner, "not only to bring convenience to the public, but also to reduce potential safety hazards."
It is understood that in Hefei, the operation of shared electric bicycles is ushering in a series of new management regulations.
In addition to requiring a license plate to drive, the local government also requires three shared motorcycle operating companies to use vehicle renewal, replacement and brand upgrades as an opportunity to reduce the existing inventory and limit the number of shared motorcycles to 100,000.
According to data released by the Hefei Transportation Bureau, as of the end of June, more than 4,000 parking spots of various types have been set up in the city, of which more than 1,000 will be added in 2020.
The relevant person in charge said that the next step will be to adjust and optimize these parking points, focusing on adding parking points at subway entrances and exits, bus stops, major commercial centers, etc., in order to optimize the transportation environment.
In fact, facing the stubborn illness of shared motorcycles.
Many cities are innovating management mechanisms to promote the healthy development of shared motorcycles.
At the seminar on the healthy development of the Internet rental electric bicycle industry, Gu Dasong, executive director of the Southeast University Transportation Law and Development Research Center, revealed that many cities in China have explored the development of Internet rental electric bicycles.
For example, he said that Nantong City in Jiangsu Province adopted the management model of “concession management”, which was operated and promoted in a commercial and market-oriented model supported by the government; Kunming City in Yunnan Province adopted a management model of “standardized operation”, and the urban management department took the initiative and guided by classification. Electric bicycles and power-assisted bicycles, for example, it is stipulated that the maximum speed of power-assisted bicycles cannot exceed 20 kilometers per hour; Zhejiang Province has implemented a “legislation-led” management model, and introduced local regulations on electric bicycle management, which clearly stipulates the scope, quantity and quantity of Internet rental electric bicycles. Relevant management requirements will be announced to the public.
Pan Helin said that the government should strengthen policy guidance, promote the formation of an open market for shared motorcycles, and change the "one size fits all" management model.
"Managers should make full use of the role of the market, fulfill their role as supervisors, establish a sound management system, and timely introduce management standards in terms of industry standards and service standards to promote the formation of a good market ecology." Pan Helin Said so.
