Introduction: Oriental egger learned on December 15 that every Spring Festival, the Chinese who have been used to the buyer's market still have to "relive" the pain of the shortage economy The people who come home for the reunion are very busy looking for a small ticket to get in touch with each other Government departments are busy cracking down on ticket scalpers and maintaining order Transportation departments meet for meetings and adjust transportation capacity, but the final result is often complaints MQF people can't help but joke that Spring Festival is the most conventional "emergency" in China Say Spring Festival every year, worry about Spring Festival every year Why can't the Chinese Railway carry the Spring Festival transport? The direct cause of MQF is the problem of transportation capacity China's railway mileage accounts for only 6% of the world's total, but nearly a quarter of the world's total railway work has been completed, and the transportation density is the highest in the world The Railway said that about 2.8 million seats were provided for the daily passenger trains, which can basically meet the needs of passengers However, after entering the special period of the Spring Festival, the passenger flow soared, and the daily average number of passengers will reach 3.5 million The deep-seated reason of MQF is the serious lag of railway system transition Since the reform and opening up, in the process of the transition to market economy, the internal and external environment of the railway has changed greatly, but the traditional system of relying on a single channel to build the railway has not been fundamentally changed Before 1978, the state could concentrate its financial resources on railway investment After that, due to the change of economic system, the state's centralized financial resources were limited, so it was difficult to continue to invest in railway However, due to the insufficient depth of reform, the large-scale financing from the market is constrained by the institutional constraints, and compared with other industries, compared with the needs of economic and social development, it is obviously lagging behind Some experts believe that the fundamental way out for China's railway is to deepen the reform, based on the broad market, and use the huge power of the market to promote development MQF should say that China's railway self reform is faced with the dual task of the transformation of the operation mechanism of the transportation industry and the transformation of the railway development mechanism The reform of operation mechanism is also imminent MQF From the introduction of the person in charge of the Ministry of railways, we can capture at least two information: first, in more than 120 days of passenger flow concentration, such as spring, summer, may day and November, the railway transportation capacity is in an all-round rush, and it is very difficult to buy tickets and take buses, and the situation of train congestion is quite serious; second, according to the introduction of the railway, at least 9730 buses are needed for the Spring Festival transportation this year There is a gap of more than 5000 vehicles to meet the needs of customers Therefore, in a year, the railway has a shortage of transportation capacity at least one-third of the time, which effectively strikes back the development waste theory of "to solve the waste of resources caused by the overhaul of the railway in Spring Festival" Secondly, even if we implement the mode of "separation of network and transportation" and let the state repair the railway, can market-oriented operation be introduced? MQF we have noticed that compared with the railway, the reform of marketization, commercialization and privatization of highway transportation industry provides a reference for deepening the railway reform Since the reform and opening up, especially in the five years since the expansion of domestic demand, the speed of road development is hard to be matched by the railway In the five years from 1997 to 2002, the investment in highways amounted to more than 1400 billion yuan, while that in Railways was less than 300 billion yuan In 2002, the investment of highway in one year exceeded the total investment of railway in the past five years According to the analysis of railway experts, the reason why the highway develops so fast is that the traditional investment and financing system has been reformed as soon as possible, and a new system has been initially established to meet the requirements of marketization, commercialization and privatization The investment and financing system has changed from one yuan to multiple in time The strength of the state, the local government and the public has combined to make a concerted effort, and plans and markets have been used simultaneously Domestic resources and The rapid development of foreign resources has been achieved MQF railway industry is a sunrise industry in our country, so far, no one can say exactly how much the railway profit is But as we all know, it's a very attractive cake Only in the 40 days of the Spring Festival, the railway passenger flow of 137 million people is really appetizing On the one hand, there is a large amount of private capital to be fed, on the other hand, there is a single source of funds for railway construction, and the number of railway mileage and buses can not meet the needs of Chinese people It is urgent for MQF to speed up the development of railway The executive meeting of the State Council recently discussed and approved the medium and long term railway network planning in principle, fully affirming that the railway has the advantages of large capacity and low cost, and plays an important role in transportation Recently, the national development and Reform Commission announced that all areas open to foreign capital are open to private capital It can be said that in order to cope with the international competition after China's accession to the WTO, the railway must speed up and deepen the reform As far as the national policy is concerned, there are no policy obstacles to the reform and opening up of the railway MQF
