On Subway Ticket Price Increase
The Beijing municipal govern-ment has reformed the current low-cost subway ticket system and increased ticket price in order to cut the overall cost of transport subsidies in the city. 1
Such a policy has led to a heated debate, with some supporting the policy, while others say it would be counterproductive. 2 People in favor of the policy said that the reform should be carried out because proper increase of the subway ticket price can ease the great transportation pressure to some extent. 3 However, people against the policy said that rising fares is undesirable because it raises people’s living cost. They said the government should provide other social welfare services to the public, if not, the government should not abandon the subsidy policy. Besides, low subway ticket price can encourage green travel. 3
From my perspective, variable ticket pricing as a solution is feasible. 4 The subway charges passengers according to the lengths of trips. In that way, it is effective to make cuts in the subsidies with proper subway ticket price while Beijing’s public transport system still sees a large number of passengers.
關(guān)于地鐵票價(jià)上漲
北京市政府就目前地鐵票務(wù)系統(tǒng)低價(jià)情況進(jìn)行了改革，提升了票價(jià)，以全面削減城市交通運(yùn)輸補(bǔ)貼。
此舉激起熱烈的辯論，有人支持這一舉措，也有人覺得這會(huì)事與愿違。贊成此舉的人認(rèn)為應(yīng)該實(shí)行這項(xiàng)改革，因?yàn)檫m當(dāng)?shù)靥岣叩罔F票價(jià)可以在一定程度上緩解巨大的交通壓力。然而，持反對意見的人則表示價(jià)格上漲不是個(gè)好事，因?yàn)檫@樣做增加了人們的生活成本。他們表示政府應(yīng)該向公眾提供其他的社會(huì)福利，否則，政府就不應(yīng)該拋棄地鐵補(bǔ)貼政策。另外，地鐵低價(jià)可以鼓勵(lì)綠色出行。
在我看來，用多變的票價(jià)來解決問題是可行的。地鐵按里程收費(fèi)。這樣，合理的地鐵票價(jià)既能有效削減政府補(bǔ)貼，又能讓很多乘客依舊使用北京公共交通。
