The bus company and the driver both have their own little calculations. If you go by the facial description, both sides are smart people.
The reason is very simple. Nanjing's public transportation began to collectively reduce its speed. The speed limit is 5km/h when entering the station, 10km/h when turning right, 15km/h when turning left, and 20km/h at intersections.
Paired with this speed limit regulation is a very strict punishment system: if the driver violates the regulations more than 4 times, the labor contract will be terminated directly.
The reporter who didn't mind the matter went to call the Nanjing Bus hotline. I think the reporter was also uneasy and well-intentioned. These days, there are too many troubles caused by the customer service or operator's words. The reporter must have felt that this was a breakthrough.
Sure enough, after a small breakthrough, the hotline operator's reply was that the speed limit at the intersection is 20km/h, and when turning, you must stop regardless of whether there are people or not, and whether you are driving normally.
Coupled with the video that is currently circulating on the Internet of driving faster than the bicycle next to the ***, and the scene of starting to slow down and being overtaken by a pedestrian next to you when you are still far away from the station, plus the green light leaked on the Internet.
PPT about stopping in 15 seconds, Nanjing Bus was sprayed miserably.
The core point of mass criticism is that this is a policy given by a group of people who never take the bus.
Not to mention the fact that the bus is such a big lump, slowly swaying at the intersection, and the road traffic caused by the mobile roadblocks, let us not discuss that people who originally chose the bus to commute were forced to choose private cars because the time was nearly doubled.
Or online ride-hailing will bring greater traffic load.
The whole thing is to point directly at people's hearts.
This policy of the bus company actually deprives bus drivers of their discretionary power over road conditions.
Was Taylor's style of scientific management emerging?
What the bus company needs is not a driver, but a tool person with L5 autonomous driving function and the ability to input various restrictive instructions.
Alienation, alienation.
This newly introduced policy is one-size-fits-all, and the reason given on the table is safety.
One thing to say is that the driving habits of some buses are indeed not safe enough. Many city bus drivers have a dream of being a fighter pilot, and they would like to have a tire burnout when the bus starts.
Especially the legendary Nanjing 13th Road, known as the speed and passion of Nanjing people and the source of terror for Nanjing people.
Coupled with the long body of the bus, it is easy to form a blind spot in the rearview mirror, so safety needs to be strengthened.
This kind of safety can essentially be improved through modern scientific methods such as better rearview imaging technology, research and judgment on high-accident road sections, better driver training, etc.
But there is a problem here, either it will increase costs, or the bus company has already done it for many rounds, at least on paper.
So, bosses, think about it this way. If you were the leader of a bus company and you needed to achieve a political achievement that was "different from tradition and can be seen at a glance without spending money," what would you choose?
Is it because the maximum pressure speed limit seems less slapped on the head?
Again, many behaviors in life that we think are silly will become very reasonable when viewed from the other person's perspective.
In this regard, Wuhan Public Transport has set an example, using the Initial D method, placing a sealed can on the bus, and judging whether the bus driver is adequate by how much water spills out.
That seal above is so cute.
So why did I say at the beginning that both sides have their own little calculations?
This is not disrespectful to the bus driver. On the contrary, I think this is a very typical case of non-violent disobedience.
It is obvious that the new policy is an intensified exploitation of bus drivers.
If the frequency of shifts has to be maintained without increasing the number of drivers, and the speed is reduced, it is obvious that the working hours of bus drivers will inevitably be extended.
Guess whether there will be a salary increase as a result.
Can the driver argue with the company?
Obviously not, the company has a banner of ethics and safety; and for drivers who do not cooperate, clear company regulations are given, and drivers who fail to comply four times will be fired.
In fact, when many workers have conflicts with the company, spiritual capitalists will come out and say, the company has written down the rules in black and white, and if you don’t abide by them, who is to blame?
What the driver chooses is to complete this indicator 100% or even 200%.
Resistance by adding layers of pressure is an old trick.
During the pit stop process, how do you calculate the start of the pit stop? 100 meters before the station, 200 meters before the station, or 300 meters before the station.
The driver started from the furthest place and entered the station at a slow speed of 5 kilometers per hour.
Now that some videos have been released, bus drivers are under a certain amount of pressure. Some people ask why they are so slow when they are clearly going straight.
The driver's statement is also very simple. He strictly implements, resolutely implements, and conscientiously understands the bus company's spirit of slow speed and safety.
As a result, it became a social hot spot.
The bus company can ignore the driver, but it cannot ignore public opinion. Therefore, it finally began to consider comprehensive factors such as traffic flow, driving speed, road conditions, etc., and did what it should have done long ago.
From this perspective, it can be regarded as a victory for the workers.
It's a pity that Nanjing residents who take public transportation have to suffer for 3 days.
I know that the leader has a special car to pick me up, so I don’t have to squeeze in the bus.
A bus with a platform of five yards and a turn of 10 yards is not a huge mobile roadblock.
Our country's roads are already very congested during rush hours, causing congestion for the people.
Riding a private bicycle is faster than taking the bus.
