"May Day", do you go to the attraction to see the "shared bicycle show"?

During this holiday, many famous scenic spots in China have fallen into the “encirclement and suppression” of shared bicycles. From Hangzhou West Lake to Shanghai People's Square, from Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge to Beijing Gongwangfu... The shared bicycles that have been parked and parked have even become new attractions, attracting many foreigners to take pictures.

During the "May 1st" period, the reporters of the Yangzi Evening News visited the major scenic spots in Nanjing and found that a large number of bicycles that were indiscriminately stopped were in the sights. Although many scenic spots have adopted control measures, the results have not been too great. In this regard, relevant experts suggest that if the cost of social management is increased due to shared bicycles, certain management fees should be considered.

Reporter visit

First look around the area around Nanbo

The sidewalk is full of bicycles and the pedestrians are on the fast lane.

During the festival, the reporters of the Yangzi Evening News conducted a visit and found that the sidewalks, blind roads and slow lanes next to the Nanjing Museum and the opposite lanes were filled with various shared bicycles. The vehicle stretched for several tens of meters on both sides of the road, forcing pedestrians and cyclists to take the fast lane.

The bus that the reporter took should have been docked at the East Palace of the Ming Palace. However, due to too many pedestrians, the bus had to stop in the fast lane. The reporter walked west along Zhongdongshan Road and found that the sidewalk could not get off the ground. He could only walk on the bicycle lane. Sometimes the bicycle lane would be blocked. He could only move the car away with other tourists.

Beside the Forbidden City subway station, it is also a "car mountain car sea". Many tourists who come from the direction of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum will find a place to stop at the subway station. They can't stop and put it on the side of the road. The entire road is out of order.

Look at the famous sights in Nanjing

Plan a parking spot, but visitors do not park in the designated area

In order to prevent the sharing of bicycles to open a "car show" in Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, the scenic spot has long negotiated with the bicycle companies and signed an agreement, delineating a number of parking spots. However, the Yangzi Evening News reporter saw in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum the day before yesterday that many bicycles were not parked in the prescribed area.

The same is true of Xuanwu Lake. Despite the control measures in advance, the rushing “cycling army” still makes the scenic spot somewhat unstoppable. "I think 'May 1' I am the hardest laborer in Nanjing. At least one thousand cars were stopped in the scenic spot every day, and the mouth was dry." The scenic security guards joked.

The reporter saw that from the entrance of Xuanwu Lake to the two sides of the Central Road, the bicycles that stretched for several tens of meters, although placed in a more orderly manner, have already "solidified" Xuanwu Lake in a down-to-earth manner.

Finally, look at the traffic flow oversized business district.

The bicycle blocked the sidewalk and was moved to the road by the merchant.

The Yangzi Evening News reporter found in the interview that the place where the contradiction is more serious is the gathering place of merchants.

In the Confucius Temple, Deji Square and other places, because the shared bicycle blocked the sidewalk, many merchants will "share" the bicycle to the road. "Let them see where these bikes are parked," one shopkeeper said angrily.

A citizen riding an electric car wants to take his girlfriend to go to the Confucius Temple to eat sugar seedlings. He did not find a parking place nearby. He had to "move" a shared bicycle parked on the blind road to the road. Previously, in the open space in front of a hospital in Nanjing, it was also because the shared bicycle occupied the parking space of the citizens. After the public reported the alarm, together with the security of the hospital, the shared bicycle was “stacked”.

3 major questions

1 Sharing bicycle parking is actually a road operation?

"The behavior of riding is low-carbon, but it is a huge social cost, and it is a waste of social resources. This is not low-carbon, not green."

Wu Weiqiang, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Zhejiang University of Technology and vice president of the Hangzhou Institute for Reform and Development, said in an interview with the Yangzi Evening News reporter that "shared bicycle companies set up a car before they were approved." Zero-cost occupation of sidewalk parking vehicles, the nature of which is not fundamentally different from the stall vendors on the road, has clearly violated the laws and regulations of urban management."

Wu Weiqiang said that the regulations on the management of city appearance and environmental sanitation in many cities clearly stipulate that it is not allowed to occupy roads on urban roads and public venues without authorization. For temporary use, it is necessary to obtain approval from relevant administrative departments for approval. Sharing bicycles as a form of business, the use of non-motor vehicle lanes without approval is an illegal business operation, and the functional departments should be involved in rectification.

2 When will the company's promised additional personnel be cashed?

How many bicycles does a city need? Does every city need this kind of unrestricted launch? Have bicycle companies learned and researched the city's public transportation before launching?

“Shenzhen may have no public bicycles before. Enterprises will come in, and the government departments will welcome them. But cities like Hangzhou and Nanjing, which have public bicycles themselves and have low reserves and limited road conditions, are not suitable for bottomless lines. In the interview, some transportation experts said that companies such as ofo and Moby kept saying that they would send additional personnel for maintenance and set up pile parking, but in fact, enterprises did not have so many people. The obligation to commit to the current situation is mostly "a piece of empty talk."

3 Can I charge the bicycle that occupies the road?

Wu Weiqiang believes that sharing bicycles is a bicycle rental that occupies the public space of the city. The ideal mode for the use of urban public space is franchising. The examination of enterprise qualifications and the selection of operating enterprises must be strictly managed and franchised enterprises. Can be admitted.

There is no reason for free use of public space and roads in business operations. Government management does not use taxpayers' money to serve enterprises, but enterprises do not pay for it. Wu Weiqiang suggested that for shared bicycles occupying urban roads, they can be charged according to the total amount of delivery and the time taken to occupy the road, or they can be charged separately according to the vehicle's electronic identification code, and all income is used for road maintenance.

Do "Bicycle City" Nanjing is still almost what

On April 25th, Hangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, Hangzhou City Management Committee, Hangzhou Public Security Bureau and Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area Administrative Committee jointly issued a notice: during the "May 1st" holiday, non-motor vehicles Temporary management and control shall be implemented, and areas forbidden and prohibited shall be set up, and non-motor vehicles shall be strictly controlled to be parked in crowded places such as Xihu Scenic Area and surrounding areas. Due to the block and dry, human tactics, it has achieved good results.

As the country's largest shared bicycle-operated city, Shanghai seized 4,000 illegally-scheduled shared bicycles in February this year, citing the fact that the number of shared bicycles, which had increased in volume, occupied a large number of public-sector sites that were originally parked by the public to park non-motorized vehicles. Strong complaints to the public. On March 15, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission also talked about sharing bicycle companies and demanded that new vehicles be suspended from now.

Many bicycle-friendly cities have a clear understanding of the status of bicycle green travel in urban planning, and the corresponding software and hardware facilities are also quite good. For example, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, in addition to the basic bicycle lane facilities, and a magnificent elevated bicycle ring road design, it can be seen that the local government plans this bicycle city with a long-term and macro vision. The bicycle infrastructure in Utrecht is second to none. Even at the peak of commuting, people can still enjoy the city without any obstacles.

Before the corresponding plan for the “bicycle-friendly city” was completed, Nanjing faced the barbaric growth of shared bicycles in advance, and it was inevitable that it would be difficult to solve problems. This may be an opportunity for everyone to increase their understanding of public space and road rights. The development of public bicycles is still "adapted to local conditions." Not every city can absorb the "savage growth" of shared bicycles. To solve this problem, multiple departments need to work together.
