Zhong Meilan, Chen Yanyu, Wang Xiao / Chengdu Business News

On September 13th, near the E-port of the No. 2 Metro Station, the roadside was full of shared bicycles.

The Chengdu Business Daily reporter surveyed hot spots such as Tianfu Third Street, Chunxi Road, and the Second City Hospital, and found that although there are still a large number of vehicles remaining after the peak hours of the three vehicles, the company’s placement at these points has not stopped. This caused a large number of hoarding of shared bicycles to block the sidewalks and make it difficult for the public to travel.

Witness

Riding a makeshift car

At noon on September 13th at No. 2 Metro Station, Hongxing Road, a woman unlocked a shared bicycle and pushed along the sidewalk toward the intersection, only to meet with a dispatcher that had just entered the sidewalk. She had to move the bike to her side, tighten her body and wait for the traffic of the dispatcher. "Why are so many dispatch cars on the sidewalk in these two days?" the disgruntled woman shouted. No one answered her.

In the past few days, at this point, both Mobike and Ofo’s dispatcher cars will be on the sidewalk and will be on wheels. The Chengdu Business Daily reporter saw that the rear cover of the dispatcher car was open, and the two enterprise operation and maintenance staffs stayed next to it. The public would unlock the vehicle and go for a ride. The company’s operation and maintenance personnel quickly picked up the car and did not leave a trace of space. After the car pulled by a dispatcher car is finished, it will open another dispatcher. Between 11 and 2 o'clock, about 10 dispatchers will come and go on this sidewalk.

"Who let them encircle our vehicles? The vehicles are blocked from letting our vehicles come out." One person wearing a Msba overalls told Chengdu Daily News that they were obliged to make up for the car. The other operator of OFO said that the site was initially launched by OFO. The number is small. In the evening, three or four rows of vehicles may be placed. The second day is basically able to ride, and later Mobhai sees this from data analysis. The site has a large number of user needs and it has also begun to be launched here, leading to today’s situation.

The "ground battle for competition" in the Second Municipal Hospital Station of the Metro has been buzzing in the shared bicycle companies. An Mobai operation and maintenance staff, who is not willing to be named, stated that the two companies are currently negotiating to demarcate the area on this site and it is expected that there will be results in these two days. Sure enough, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter visited this site again on September 14th, which was not the same as the previous days. The two company vehicles were clearly placed, and the street and the north side were the Mobi parking spaces; two blocks near the south were Ofo small yellow car.

The use of vehicles to fill vacancies and compete for parking spaces results in a reduction in the use of vehicles. Chengdu Business Daily reporter points again, at 11 o'clock on the same day, a total of 1023 shared bicycles were parked at this point. This point at 17 o'clock the use of vehicles began to increase, 19:00 usage increased sharply, Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter points again, there are 807 shared bicycles. This means that after a peak from 5pm to 7pm, the vehicles come and go, and only 216 cars are reduced. The next day, the reporter discovered that many vehicles in the corner were not moving.

Scramble

Top sites are grabbing sites

From September 13 to 14, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter selected the Tianfu 3rd Street Subway Station Exit A and the Chunxi Road Xiaolongkan Entrance at two points for observation in three time periods.

Point 1: Tianfu Third Street

At 11 o'clock on September 13, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily came to the A port of Tianfu Third Street, which was about 70 to 80 meters long. At this time, only a dozen bicycles were scattered. At 1:30 a.m., the reporter saw that A had come in two ofo's dispatch cars, put 89 vehicles along the parking space, stepped into a dispatcher, and put 55 vehicles. At 5:30 in the afternoon, the two newly launched vehicles were not used. The number of parked vehicles increased. In a short period of half an hour, the bicycles in the parking space accumulated instantaneously, occupying the motor vehicle lanes and causing traffic jams. A police officer who is on duty said that because the traffic directions of the two subways are inconsistent, it is suggested that there should be some differences in the time period for companies to put in vehicles.

“The site is so big that we don’t put it in. People will definitely have to put it in. When you want to put it, people have already taken up the parking space,” said Liu Song, the operation and maintenance staff of OFO. On September 14th, the reporter confirmed from a number of theOverO staff that the business launch time of the company A was from 4am to 2pm. In the afternoon, the use of vehicles was small, and the flow of people began to import, causing congestion.

Point 2: Chunxi Road, Xiaolongkan Gate

The accumulation of vehicles and the use of sidewalks also exist on Chunxi Road. At 3:30 in the afternoon on September 13, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily came to the Xiaolongkan Gate of Chunxi Road, marking a parking space of about 300 meters. The reporter had rough points and had more than 300 vehicles. At 8:30 pm on the 13th, the reporter once again came to this site, the number of vehicles has doubled, overlapping piles, there is no way to point.

The reporter kept observing that, starting from 10:00 pm, a large number of small yellow cars were taken away. When the reporter left at 0:19 am on the 14th, 310 vehicles remained. In order to determine whether the vehicle is a legacy, the reporter copied the number of the car of OFO and Mobike respectively. At 7 a.m. on the 14th, the reporter once again came to this site and recorded that the number of 20 Moab vehicles was still parked in the same place. Twenty small yellow vehicles had been basically taken away. At 7:05, ofo had four dispatchers coming to deliver vehicles. The parking spaces that were vacant the previous night were filled.

Many vehicles have not been used up yet. Why should they continue to run? "If we don't take up the space, the parking space will be occupied by others." An operation and maintenance staff of theo said that before this, the vehicle of the station ofo can basically run out, a few days ago, Mobai also came and the vehicle appeared. A lot of legacy. A Mobai operation and maintenance staff also confirmed to the reporter the operation of the OFO staff.

Business Response:

Will explore a more complete operation and maintenance system

According to media reports, big data statistics from ofo show that Chunxi Road, Tianfu Third Street, and City No. 2 Hospital ranked among the top three subway stations in Chengdu. An industry insider who did not want to be named stated that how many car needs, how much to ride, and how much to ride a site originally would be for a shared bicycle company. The background data will be known at a glance. Some bicycle companies are hoping to increase the so-called corporate image by occupying hot spots, so they ignore the actual over-delivery.

The relevant person in Chengdu ofo said that the investigation by Chengdu Business Daily correspondent is true. The person in charge said that in the future, ofo will further enhance its technology and strive to make greater breakthroughs in the field of electronic fence technology, and explore a more complete and more suitable operation and maintenance system for urban needs. Mobike’s public relations manager, Wang Dongwei, denied the claim of “grabbing parking spaces” and stressed that “it is not a position to snatch but an intelligent operation and maintenance and enhanced user experience”.

Municipal Communications Committee:

Two platforms are expected to be solved

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Communications Commission stated that he has already paid attention to the phenomenon of congestion and remnants of vehicles. Through the construction of "two platforms," ​​this problem is expected to be solved. The responsible person stated that the shared bicycle supervision platform is intended to include systems for data collection and exchange, enterprise service quality management, and statistical analysis of data. Specifically, it is divided into three blocks: first, the static information of enterprises, vehicles, and users; secondly, the dynamic information of vehicles and operation and maintenance personnel mainly includes vehicle lock data information, and electronic fences use real-time data information. Third, the monitoring platform and public security, urban management and TOCC (traffic operation monitoring and dispatching center) data docking and exchange capabilities. “By sharing the data in real time, we can grasp the running status of the shared bicycle market, and guide the sharing of bicycles based on travel data and travel times to implement precise scheduling and delivery.” The responsible person stated that the preliminary work of the construction has been initiated, and the construction of intelligent transportation has been included in the second phase of construction. plan. In addition, the Municipal Communications Commission has initiated the drafting of the service quality evaluation method for shared bicycle operating companies, and has used the market operation methods to “enhance the advantages and disadvantages” to encourage the operating companies to improve the service quality.
