Domestic refined oil prices have recently ushered in the first "eight-day losing streak" in history. With the sharp drop in oil prices, Qingdao, Ningbo, Kunming and other cities announced the reduction of taxi fuel surcharges, but Beijing and other places have not yet adjusted. The Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission said in an interview with reporters that since the oil price fluctuations have not reached the price adjustment range, the Beijing taxi fuel surcharge will not be adjusted.
Since July 21 this year, oil prices have entered a continuous decline channel. On November 14, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice saying that the price of gasoline and diesel was lowered by 190 yuan and 180 yuan per ton from 24 o'clock on the same day. At this point, domestic oil prices have achieved a rare "eight-day losing streak".
According to Zhuo Chuang Information, after the "eight-day losing streak", the domestic gasoline and diesel retail price fell to the lowest price in four and a half years, of which, the gasoline price was reduced by 1515 yuan / ton, equivalent to 90 yuan gasoline fell 1.10 yuan / liter, No. 93 gasoline has fallen by 1.16 yuan / liter. At present, the retail price of No. 93 gasoline in most provinces in China has entered the 6-yuan era.
The oil price has "falling down", and many places have announced that they will reduce the fuel surcharge for taxis. Among them, Qingdao decided to cancel the passenger fare fuel surcharge from November 18, Ningbo also announced that the fuel surcharge for passenger taxis will be reduced from the current 2 yuan per vehicle to 1 yuan, and Kunming will also add fuel surcharges of 2.5 yuan per trip. Adjusted to 2.0 yuan.
However, the fuel surcharges for taxis in Beijing and other places have not been adjusted. At present, the Beijing fuel surcharge standard is adjusted to 1 yuan per shipment. According to the "Beijing Taxi Fuel Surcharge Dynamic Adjustment Measures", three months is used as a cycle to regularly measure the oil price fluctuations and adjust the fuel surcharge standard. . For every increase (or decrease) of the oil price by 0.8 yuan / liter, the fuel surcharge will increase (or decrease) by 1 yuan / shipment. When the oil price fluctuation does not reach 0.8 yuan / liter, the fuel surcharge is not adjusted.
The regulations also pointed out that the fluctuation of oil prices is measured by the Transportation Bureau of the Municipal Communications Commission. When the oil price change reaches the fuel surcharge adjustment range, the Municipal Transportation Commission's Transportation Bureau proposes to adjust the fuel surcharge application, and the city development and reform commission agrees to announce the implementation and no further hearing.
According to the calculation of the organization, the current domestic oil price has been falling for more than 3 months, and the decline has exceeded 0.8 yuan / liter. According to the regulations, the oil price change has reached the condition of fuel surcharge adjustment, but now there is no delay in the movement. Therefore, many people have questioned, "Why is the taxi fuel surcharge in Beijing not falling?"
To this end, the reporter interviewed the Transportation Bureau of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission. A staff member told reporters that he is currently studying whether to apply for adjustment of the fuel surcharge and will maintain communication with the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission. The Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission said in an interview with Zhongxin.com that it is estimated that in a cycle, the cumulative weight change of oil prices has not reached 0.8 yuan / liter, so the Beijing taxi fuel surcharge will not be adjusted.
In addition, taxi fuel surcharges in Nanjing and Shanghai have not been adjusted. Some commentators pointed out that although the fuel surcharge for taxis is a small amount of money, it measures the efficiency of the relevant departments in implementing regulations and the importance attached to people's livelihood and public opinion. The relevant responsible department should act in a timely manner and explain the adjustments to avoid adjustments to the public's “improvement of price increases and difficulty in price reduction”.
