License plate auction or bottleneck in the taxi industry

The car industry has become an industry with misunderstandings in understanding, serious distortions in interests, and considerable social conflicts.

As a result, there are endless dissatisfaction and criticism between consumers, drivers, taxi industry companies and government-related management departments. Coupled with the difference in the size of the city and the different modes of operation, the question of who benefits and who loses is becoming more and more "public and reasonable, and the woman is reasonable", and is caught in a regrettable and cyclical "crime" cycle. .

In the early years of reform, if there is no government planning day, the set of "covering the world" in the planned economy era should not be invariable. Under the completely monopolized franchise model, we have already encountered the development of "bottlenecks", such as the mainstream. The taxi driver is contracted to the industry company (the business is only a variant, while the self-employment is a rare phenomenon that is almost neglected), that is, the method of handing over the “money”. Under the guidance of the scientific development concept, this kind of “money money” model shows the inertia of a few companies that monopolize public resources, and the risk transfer and interest monopoly completely highlights the shortcomings of the old management system that needs to be reformed.

Pursuing the restructuring of the scientific development pattern In the taxi industry, the main player responsible for productivity is the driver. In the international arena and in Hong Kong and other places in China, urban taxis generally pass through a world of transportation managers. 79 people operate independently, and the effect is very good. There is no beautiful “city card” lost due to individualized operation. Taxi management rights As the public resources of the city, the way in which a single-managed industry company occupies all operating rights and charges royalties to drivers, resulting in the concentration of “government-company-driver” in the world. It is rare.

As a “visible hand”, the planned economy has effectively promoted the start of the urban taxi industry, but also in the name and desire to protect the orderly competition of the market – even if this desire is good and incomparably beautiful, it has curbed The “invisible hand” of the benign mechanism in the market is active, dynamic, and in line with the laws of market operation.

Similarly, the abolition of “money money” for the implementation of taxi sign auctions is not simply a request to cancel the taxi company, thus giving up the intensive, modern management direction and the scientific management functions of the relevant government traffic management departments, but through taxi operations. The power of the city's public resources is effectively allocated again, and the outer shell of the administrative nature of the current industry companies is removed (some of which can be turned into industry associations and trade unions, becoming an indispensable representative of industry interest expression and self-discipline inspection; Listed companies can also carry out the rebuilding and reshaping of shell resources. They also have the right to "people". Only on the basis of the spontaneous and voluntary cooperation of taxi drivers, the integration and restructuring will be carried out according to the market mechanism.

The key point here is that the auction of taxi licenses will greatly facilitate the decentralization of taxi operating rights and the diversification of operating modes (according to the size of the city and the layout of public transportation, it can be licensed for self-use or hired. , can also join the joint, etc.) and the quality of operational performance (service enthusiasm and consumer satisfaction will be improved), thus avoiding the current situation in which a few companies control all operating rights to make the monopoly of the industry unsustainable.

License plate reforms shake the market's pivots The dilemma of the taxi industry is not closed. The passive response to headaches and pains can only be temporary effective or limited in effectiveness, and it is highly likely to leave larger and more complex social risks. . Therefore, its reform must also be grasped and carried out under the overall background of China's current social and economic development. The author believes that taxi license auction is a good way to break through the "bottleneck" of the development of the industry: First, it is highly integrated and can open the path to solve multiple pressing problems.

The industrial chain of 100 million yuan. The first is the income from the license plate itself. In Hong Kong and Macau, the average auction price of a vehicle license has reached more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars and 1.2 million Australian dollars. We may wish to lower the threshold, starting with a license plate of 300,000 yuan in the big city and 200,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan in the second and third-tier cities respectively. This alone, the national fiscal revenue will amount to hundreds of billions of yuan; second, the license can be transferred after the free auction (because there are multiple operating modes for self-use, formation and franchise), but the license plate transfer income tax, transfer The more times, the more tax is paid (this will effectively curb the “license of cattle”); third, the driver’s “doing it for the company” to “doing it for himself” is bound to use high-quality vehicles and services to win customers. It has driven the renewal of vehicles and contributed to the revitalization of China's automobile manufacturing industry and related industries.

The second is to promote the establishment of a new management model in the taxi industry.

The outline of this new model is in accordance with the internationally accepted method, which can be simply referred to as "opening the two ends and the middle tube is good". Witness: Under the conditions of the most basic standards, all those who pass the qualification test are completely free to enter and exit. Because after years of reform and opening up, the conditions for marketization have been fully met: First, the barriers to entry and driving skills and economic capabilities are very low, especially when the car has a mature car loan system; second, open the license auction The operation and use rights are placed in the hands of individuals. The choice of enterprise management or individual business is determined by the needs and development of the market. The problem will not be more than now. In the middle, this will free up the power, and the government and industry management organizations will be responsible for industry supervision and scientific management according to law. There are four main aspects: one is that the TD and the EPA and other government functions are managed according to law; the other is that the experts and industry representatives form a traffic advisory committee to ensure that the government's decision-making is scientific and fair; the third is to establish a Hong Kong quality taxi service steering committee. Fourth, an industry association or chamber of commerce is established within the taxi industry to talk to the government or the public on issues of concern to the industry. We can strictly strengthen the scientific norms in this one, and develop one from the supervision of the service standards and behaviors of practitioners, the qualifications and training of practitioners, the hearing of taxi fares, the transfer of management rights, and the organizational model of operators. A Chinese-style industry "good governance" model.

The third is to promote win-win and win-win, and maintain the dynamic balance of harmonious development of the industry in the appropriate policy tilt.

First of all, the driver has full or partial operation rights for the taxi operation, which will greatly benefit the cost reduction, service improvement, especially the driver's income and the stability of the professional team, which will relatively resolve this vulnerable group. At the same time, in view of the difficulty of employment, we can also try to open up a new path for the entrepreneurship of college students and other related personnel (the addition of these new personnel components will greatly enhance the overall quality of the industry team) and so on. Based on the results of this move, the taxi driver wins and gets rich; the consumer wins in obtaining quality service; the taxi industry wins in the industry level; the country wins in increasing finances and taxes; the car and related industries win in the recession; The relevant professionals win in opening a new path of employment.

Of course, the implementation should be carried out with caution and step by step. For example, according to the time when the vehicle is scrapped, according to the time when the vehicle is replaced, a batch of licenses will be retrieved first, and then auctioned in the market, and trial and error will be carried out. In addition, the tax revenue of the license auction and transfer can also be used for one piece. Set up temporary losses for benefits such as insurance for model conversion services to achieve a smooth transition as much as possible. D
