At the beginning of this year, Shangqiu City, Henan Province caused heated discussions on the Internet due to the suspension of public transport, and many people could not imagine that a city's buses would also be stopped.
In fact, the bus company in Shangqiu, Henan Province has become a private company due to restructuring, which is somewhat different from some other cities.
Bus companies in many cities are state-owned enterprises, buses belong to people's livelihood undertakings, the state has subsidies, and it is not realistic to stop operation.
Therefore, the suspension of bus companies, which are private companies, is related to poor management.
However, I can't imagine that the bus in Baoding, Hebei Province has also stopped running recently, and the situation seems to be worse than that of Shangqiu.
It is said that the reason for the suspension of Hebei Baoding bus is due to financial constraints, and pure electric buses are forced to withdraw all due to the expiration date of the battery.
Baoding is one of the few prefecture-level cities in Hebei. The economy is not so unbearable, why is the bus also stopped operating on a large scale?
This exposes a very serious problem.
Local finances are tight, and not ordinarily tight.
Public transport is a public utility, and it is unrealistic to make a profit, mainly relying on government financial subsidies.
Even so, some city bus companies still can't make ends meet.
But in terms of some project costs, some cities are often large.
Some netizens in Baoding, Hebei Province complained that the road was repaired today and dug tomorrow, and the public toilet was repaired and the hotel was comparable to that of a hotel, and the lighting project under the tree was called a beautiful.
But there is no money for things like buses, which are related to people's livelihood.
That is to say, visible projects have money, and they will be tossed repeatedly. But the invisible project is precisely the financial strain, and there is no money.
This means that some places are still pursuing surface engineering and doing surface articles.
As for what "internal strength" is solid or not, it doesn't matter.
Being able to manage the day is a day, and you can only wait until the problem arises before you have to stand up and think about solving the problem.
The suspension of bus in Baoding, Hebei Province, after media reports, I believe that the local government will also give a solution.
Just like the suspension of Shangqiu bus, the local government soon solved it.
The explanation is not that it cannot be solved, but that it does not want to be solved.
Of course, the situation in Baoding is not the same as that in Shangqiu.
Baoding needs to take real money out, otherwise there is really no way.
Electric vehicles need to replace the battery, and the battery is like the heart of the electric car, the vast majority of money is spent on the battery, if every car to replace the battery, this cost is not cheap.
In any case, the suspension of buses shows that the local government has not done a good enough job in some aspects, and I believe that the bus company has already reported the situation to the upward.
In desperation, bus operation will be stopped on a large scale.
Some cities are cracking down on electric bicycles, forcing citizens to take public transport. If you look at the suspension of Baoding buses, if citizens really don't ride electric vehicles, I'm afraid travel will be a problem.
As soon as the bus was suspended, it was directly dumbfounded. You can't do anything, you can't get around.
In the face of the suspension of public transport, I wonder how the Baoding government will face it next? I believe that we must be looking for countermeasures.
In any case, livelihood projects such as urban buses still need to ensure normal operation, otherwise it will only cause citizens to complain, and a city will fall into a "shutdown".
