Passenger transportation has been losing money for many years. Since the beginning of this year, there have been waves of suspension or reduction of flights. In May, Taoyuan Passenger’s 5116 Taoyuan-Songshan Airport, Kaohsiung Passenger’s Xiaoliuqiu round-the-island shuttle bus will be suspended, and Hsinchu Passenger’s 16 routes will be reduced. class. Since a lot of passenger transport is “representative driving”, and there is currently no subsidy for the substitute driving, the Highway Administration said that it is already planning the subsidy policy for the substitute driving, and strives to finalize the main points in May and June.
Substitute driving refers to the fact that after the expiration of the passenger transport license, because there is no operator to take over, the competent authority entrusts the original operator to “temporarily replace the driving”.
Take the National Highway Passenger Transport Route 1573 (Keelung Station to Neihu Science Park) operated by Capital Passenger Transport as an example. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the operating loss has been affected by the epidemic. Yuan, “A few days ago, I was finally allowed to reduce shifts from April 17, but there was a long queue immediately. The boss was soft-hearted and had to resume shifts.” He lamented that without subsidies, he could no longer survive.
Taoke 5116 Taoyuan-Songshan Airport route was announced a few days ago that it was not allowed to operate, and it will be operated until May 26. Many passengers are very sad. The route started operating in 1997. In the early years, it was the essence of the route between Taoyuan and Taipei. However, due to the entry of other operators into the competition, the performance began to decline. The General Administration of Highways solicited for the takeover twice in July last year and April this year, but there was no one interested. , Some businessmen said that they can’t lose the routes in their hands, so how can they pick up other people’s hot potatoes?
In addition, the 601 and 601A Xiaoliuqiu round-the-island shuttle buses of Kaohsiung Passenger Transport were also very beautiful when they opened in 2016. They were designed with the slogan of making Xiaoliuqiu a “plastic-free low-carbon demonstration island” and not allowing tourists to only rent motorcycles to go around the island. , Unexpectedly, it can’t continue to operate now. According to industry operators, the domino effect has begun. Passenger traffic has been suspended and a tsunami has struck, but the government is still dreaming of “cheap monthly tickets and people will take them”.
Liang Guoguo, head of the General Administration of Highways, responded by pointing out that the main points of subsidy for subsidized passenger transport are currently being formulated, and appropriate subsidies will be made according to the nature, characteristics, mileage, frequency of the route, and the reason for the subsidized driving.
