A new year's wave of homecoming, but accidentally unveiled another fig leaf of ETC!

This article is the original debut article of the old driver's Kangan car platform, and may not be reproduced without permission.

In recent years, etc. has been pushed too hard and frequently on the hot search. This year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Toll Road System and Abolishing the Toll Stations at the Provincial Borders of Expressways" (Guo Ban Fa [2019] No. 23), which determined that the national ETC user coverage rate would reach more than 80% by the end of this year, the utilization rate of expressway ETC would reach 90%, and the national highway provincial border toll stations would be basically cancelled. Originally, the implementation of ETC was a good thing, but in the media survey, nearly 50% of the respondents said that "the phenomenon of 'too much force' in etc promotion is disgusting." The recent implementation of ETC coincided with the tide of returning home for the New Year, and the huge flow of homecoming traffic unexpectedly unveiled another fig leaf of ETC.

If you do not do ETC, you are not welcome to take the highway

Today's high-speed toll stations, ETC handling points can be seen everywhere, broadcasts loudly remind car owners to handle ETC, ETC propaganda slogans can also be seen everywhere, and normal publicity means are beyond reproach. However, not long ago, a Thunderman slogan appeared at the Xiamen Expressway toll station - no ETC is installed, and the use of the expressway is not welcome. This sentence is too ironic, even if you do not install ETC, on the highway is still to pay for transportation, why is it not welcome to spend money yourself? The toll booth staff even said the words of Thunder man: "If you don't do ETC, let him block it." For car owners, whether to do ETC or not is their own choice, but since the same payment, the service should not be discounted.

Do ETC is more congested

Originally, etc was set up to improve traffic efficiency, but although ETC was vigorously promoted, the hardware and car owner literacy did not keep up, and it was even more obvious to meet the tide of returning home in the New Year. ETC does not identify, malicious rubbing ETC, queues, etc. Occur from time to time, many car owners do not install ETC, or ETC can not be identified, and then withdraw from the artificial channel, the result of the original fast passage of etc channel is more blocked than the artificial channel.

The billing system does not display the amount

Many ETC owners also encountered the situation that THE ETC did not show the amount when the highway was down, and often it took ten days and half a month to receive the deduction text message, which made many drivers confused, the money was always to be deducted, but how much money did not know the heart is always bottomless. In this regard, a lawyer in Nanjing also filed a complaint with the court against ETC. Recently, Liu Dacheng, dean of the Internet Research Institute of Tsinghua University, spoke out about this incident, ETC does not show the total toll = fraud + roadblock robbery! Professor Sun Liping of Tsinghua University also believes: "This problem, price transparency is the first, high and low is the second, you can collect ten thousand pieces a kilometer, because the highway is yours, we can't afford to walk or not to go, but you can't charge much without telling me, what is it?" Let you manage your wallet and don't let us see the bill, isn't this a naked hooligan? ”

Tolls rise

Many car owners said that the same mileage, running high-speed tolls have risen. In terms of charging standards, trucks have changed from weight charging to vehicle type charging, and many truck owners who return to empty cars are depressed, and the charges are much higher than before. For the returning passenger car, the charging standard is divided into 4 categories, one is micro-small, less than 9 seats, charging 0.3 yuan per kilometer, the second category is 10 to 19 seats, charging 0.5 yuan per kilometer, the third type of bus is 19 to 39 seats, charging 0.7 yuan per kilometer, and the fourth type of bus is more than 40 seats, charging 0.85 yuan per kilometer. Since ETC charges are accurate, many car owners also feel that the charges have risen. The condition of the ETC system frequently shows that many car owners have reported that they have a variety of situations in the process of using ETC, such as a car owner who actually showed that the car entered in 1970 and ran on the highway for 49 years in the deduction voucher.

Some car owners show that the deduction is more than 40 million, which is simply a sky-high toll.

Some car owners have encountered the situation that the toll collector uses a personal QR code to collect money and handwritten ETC invoices, which is simply laughable. For the various situations of ETC, the Ministry of Transportation responded that the system has just switched in the early stage, due to unfamiliarity, technical instability and other reasons, there have been some artificial lane congestion intensified, CPC card not recognized, charging amount display errors and other issues, with the continuous running and improvement of more than half a month, the overall operation situation continues to improve, vehicle traffic efficiency is significantly improved, the cancellation of highway provincial border toll stations and the promotion of electronic non-stop express toll (ETC) Effect initially appeared.

Originally, the implementation of ETC is a good thing, which can improve the efficiency of high-speed traffic and alleviate traffic congestion, but in the case of imperfect hardware and software facilities, is it too strong to vigorously promote ETC? The transportation sector should think more about how to improve the management level so that etc reform can truly benefit the people.
