Rail boss also want any new tricks

27 held in the Ministry of Railways to adjust long-term railway network planning a news conference, Vice-Minister Lu Fu in reply to a reporter's question that the country's future will take into account the price of the passenger train market-oriented reforms. He said that the price of train tickets for the direction of the market-oriented reforms, the Ministry of Railways is the hope of "capital preservation profit" and "to achieve sustainable development of the railway, should be the protection of public services on the basis of the transportation business for the survival and development to create better Environment, if the long-term transport costs and prices deviate from, we will distort the allocation of resources for transport. "But did not give a timetable for reform.

Xu is the instinctive reaction of many friends and I have the feeling that the first message from the railway fares will not be long before the price increases. This is all very, vice minister of land and strategy, just put a little bit of tone and vague that to start the train fare to the market-oriented reforms, but did not give any specific method of operation, people can see Yunliwuli. This will see the wisdom of the Speaker, the first release of a balloon, to test and then re-Jianjixingshi. As Vice-Minister, he more or less clear, of course, the draft reform, but now that the impartial, so backfire. Rail boss really is a ghost.

Netizens pointed out, why not say prices. Yes, based on past experience, those who advocate a monopoly industry with international practice to be price or market-oriented reforms, it means that the consumers have to suffer. Nothing monopolized the industry because of its monopolistic nature, or is not called a monopoly. No change in rail transport monopoly before, it is impossible to implement market-oriented reform of the fare, even if implemented, it would not be thorough and reasonable. To manipulate the market because of the reform of monopoly power in the hands of the hands of industry, what change, how to, are not what they say goes by the monopoly sectors, public opinion is difficult to directly carry out the game.

Even in the reform of the public hearings are held before, the two sides of the game because of asymmetric information, the railway sector holds the operating costs, transportation costs and profit and loss situation and the relationship between fares and other core information, representatives of the game is destined to become vulnerable, The ultimate outcome of the hearing in favor of the railway sector. A similar situation, we see more. Therefore, the public found that the fare of the so-called market-oriented reforms, but the price is synonymous with nothing but put a little more than pleasant.

What is the "capital of the low-profit," as if the fare is now a serious departure from the transport costs. Even if it is, then please come up with specific data, a departure from how much. I just want to ask a, causing a loss of rail transport of the reasons it should be simply attributed to the low fares? Is not afraid of it. I think that more should be from the monopoly of the industry and long-standing mechanism to look at the reasons. If no mechanism to get rid of the drawbacks of monopoly industries, even if the fare jumped, but also a loss of the status quo railway die hard.

According to the current macroeconomic situation and the railway development plan in 2009 to complete plans to 600,000,000,000 yuan investment in infrastructure by 2020 will invest 5 trillion in new 40,000 km railway, when the country prepared to invest heavily in railway construction, the public hopes on the railway Department, the scientific and rational development of railway land development planning, corruption-free colleges and universities to make good use of every sum of money, since more and better carry out the responsibility to protect public services, without having to hurry to beat the fare idea. Information, which 5,000,000,000,000 Our funds are taxpayer money, that is, in the next 10 years, taxpayers will have to bear the construction of the railway more obligations and responsibilities, if they want to be as high up the train Vote to pay more hard-earned money, in addition to the monopoly under a ruthless oligarchy heart, other industries are set Yuxinburen.
