On October 28, a 28-seat CMB vehicle in Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, fell to a depth of nearly 100 meters below the deep mountain when it reached the steep slope of the Great Lakes Peak of the Fourth Line, killing 11 people. On October 2 of this year, an extremely large traffic accident occurred at Dajiang Forest Farm in Xiangyang City, Hunan Province. A large passenger car crashed into a ravine on the outer side of the highway when a group of fast-growing sections of the Huangsha Village declined, 17 people died.
The occurrence of such tragic accidents in successive rural passenger transports is a reflection of the hidden safety hazards.
Poor objective operating conditions
From these two accidents, it can be seen that there are certain commonalities in the hidden dangers of rural passenger transport.
The first is poor road conditions. Both accidents occurred on typical rural roads, steep and steep, narrow roads, no speed bumps, corner protection or traffic warning signs. An industry insider told commercial car news reporters: “At present, the average cost of most rural roads is less than RMB 100,000 per kilometer. Generally, only road hardening is done, and even some minimum safety facilities such as slope protection are not available. Said to reduce the slope, straightness and deceleration zone processing."
Followed by bad car condition. In these two accidents, the brake failure is the direct cause of the accident, which is inseparable from the current low profitability of rural passenger transport. “The places with poor conditions are mostly old vehicles that are close to retirement or have been scrapped. These cars have serious safety problems in lighting, braking, handbrake, steering, etc. In places with better conditions, even if a new car is purchased, It is often just a poorly configured low-end car that can't be dealt with in complex road conditions, said Mr. Wang of the Guangxi Highway Transport Authority.
However, these vehicles often carry heavy passenger transport tasks. In these two accidents, the actual number of people had different degrees of overload. “The number of rural passenger trains is small, and we have two buses a day in the morning and in the afternoon. Every time we come to an annual holiday and a market fair, farmers need to go out and buy materials for the holidays. It's not uncommon to get out of cars.†said Mr. Li, a rural passenger passenger in Jiangsu. In addition, the operating mode of mixed passenger and cargo transportation in rural areas often buries potential safety hazards.
Subjective safety awareness is weak
If skilled drivers and drivers with strong security awareness engage in rural passenger transport, they may be able to compensate for these unfavorable objective conditions. However, due to the generally low quality and safety awareness of drivers engaged in rural passenger transport, the lack of ease of the fragile passenger transportation is actually worsening the situation.
Among the people engaged in motor vehicle driving in rural areas, a considerable number of people do not have formal training and do not have driving licenses. Most of the rural passenger transport practitioners have “halfway to go homeâ€. Many are drivers of agricultural vehicles that were previously used, and others are simply peasants who have just laid down gimmicks. “In rural areas, many people have agricultural vehicles in their homes, and some people only dare to directly drive passenger cars when they have farm vehicles. There is no driving license at all. Such drivers have no experience in basic car driving. This is for passengers. Irresponsible, but there are many such drivers," said Mr. Li.
Some drivers even have a driver's license, security awareness is very weak, and the phenomenon of illegal passenger transport in rural areas is very prominent. At the same time, the inaction of vehicle owners and drivers on the maintenance of vehicles has increased the probability of accidents. “If the vehicle owner can't wait for repairs, the owner of the car will not be repaired. Regular maintenance and repair is a far-reaching event,†said the industry insider.
Bus companies shoulder heavy burdens
Due to low profits and high accident rates, rural passenger vehicles are less likely to be seen by bus companies. However, with the gradual release of the potential of the rural passenger transport market, rural passenger transport has become a new growth point for the passenger car industry.
“Currently, bus companies often show a quick-motivation mentality when they seize the rural market. In fact, it is not a long-term plan to continuously reduce vehicle allocation and build low-cost vehicles by simply catering to the market. Bus companies should not seek to sell cars by simply doing subtraction. The road should be developed through technological transformation to more suitable models for rural passenger transport. In some areas, subtraction should not be done, but additions should be made. For example, braking systems need to be strengthened to handle complex road conditions.†.
For rural passenger transport, safety hazards are "chronic illnesses," and passenger cars and passenger transport companies are required to provide various guarantees. Raising the safety awareness of rural passenger transport operators is a long-term process. It is difficult for passenger transport companies to have enough power to achieve them. Bus companies should also participate in this process. In this way, bus companies will not only get a return on sales, but also improve their corporate image. At the same time, the above-mentioned people in the industry believe: “If we want to change the status quo of the poor quality of rural passenger buses in our country, local governments’ support in terms of finances, policies, etc. is very important.â€
