Among the people who travel by subway, which category do you belong to?
The author divides subway passengers into two categories: infrequent passengers and commuters.
On October 7th, 65438/kloc-0, a survey released by China Youth Daily showed that 53. 1% people usually take the subway as their main mode of travel, 25.5% people usually take the subway for a long distance, 26.5% people take it for a short distance, and 45.8% of the respondents have both long distance and short distance. For the purpose of traveling by subway, "commuting" ranks first (57.6%), followed by "shopping, playing and other life trips" (22.6%), and the third is "doing things in the company" (16. 1%).
It can be seen that most subway passengers are long-distance commuters, and the price increase has the greatest impact on this kind of passengers. Suppose you are such a passenger, how much will the price increase affect you?
How much has the travel expenses increased?
Only commuting is considered. Before the price increase, passengers spend 22 working days a month in 88 yuan. According to the discount, the one-way fare after the price increase is calculated in 5 yuan, and the monthly expenditure is 185 yuan, which is increased by 97 yuan; According to 8 yuan, the monthly expenditure is 25 1 yuan, up 163 yuan.
The price increase will undoubtedly cause economic burden to "office workers", especially low-income groups.
Will the mode of travel change?
The price increase may make some people change to other means of transportation, but for most ordinary passengers, taking the subway is a rigid demand, and it is difficult for them to give up because of the price increase. The advantages of convenience, speed and time guarantee make the subway popular. In addition, when waiting for the subway, you don't have to suffer from wind, rain, cold and heat.
Will it be crowded in the carriage?
According to the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, one of the purposes of this price adjustment is to adjust the unreasonable passenger flow distribution between rail transit and ground transportation. The full load rate of 75% rail transit lines in peak hours exceeds 100%, and the maximum full load rate exceeds 130%. However, the annual passenger traffic of ground bus shows a downward trend, and the total passenger traffic in 20 13 is 6.4% lower than that in 2009 (peak year).
By guiding the passenger flow and reducing the congestion in the subway, it can be effective in a certain period of time. But the long-term effect may not be optimistic. The passenger flow diverted to the ground may make buses crowded and the number of private cars may increase, thus aggravating the ground congestion problem. Some passengers will inevitably flood into the subway again.
"Goodbye, 2 yuan Metro!" "There will be no more 2 yuan laps. Be optimistic about the route and fare when you go out in the future. " Many citizens are in institutions such as WeChat and Weibo.
