The survey said that the bus driver was sick and the car was out of money and people couldn't afford it.

"Car sickness is not on the road, and people are not sick when driving." This is the safety slogan of the transportation industry. Even if you are tired, it is an indisputable fact that taxis and bus drivers cannot easily rest. This group is concerned with everyone's travel safety. Why are they afraid to rest?

One sick car, one half drink

A taxi driver in Nanning was also suffering from a cold and he was still in the car. As a result, his limbs twitched while he was driving. Fortunately, he did not cause an accident (for details, please refer to our report on June 16).

The driver had discovered that he had a fever on the first day, but on the morning of the 15th, he felt he had a better spirit. He took the car without much thought. As a result, I just took a guest at Wusong Airport. When I got back on the road, I found that the body was not listening.

One more thing about bus drivers happened on May 25. Sina Weibo's “Nanning citizen 007” took Bus No. 24 to go to work. On the road, “the driver dropped a car and the stunned passengers went to the booth to buy things. After observation, the driver kept drinking functional beverages and face tired”.

There is also a picture on the Weibo. A man dressed in blue overalls is leaving a canteen on the roadside and holding a yellow can with his right hand.

The reporter later found the canteen at the Keyuan Avenue in Nanning. The female shopkeeper confirmed the incident. She said that this man was the first time to come and bought a can of drink. Because he was dressed in work clothes and he got off the bus, he knew that he was a bus driver at a glance.

Although afterwards, the bus company passed an internal investigation and replied to the reporter that the driver was not driving in fatigue, but still could not dispel the doubts of the netizen.

The reporter also found through search that media all over the country have reported "difficult driving" of bus drivers. Passengers found that bus drivers were dozing or lacking concentration, but complained to the bus companies or industry authorities that all were replied "No bus drivers have been found." There is a fatigue driving phenomenon." It is understood that the difficult definition of fatigue is the cause of this phenomenon.

Lack of money and less people let them "can not afford"

Why are you tired and ill, and drivers must insist on getting out of the car? According to the survey, economic pressure is the top priority. Such as the above-mentioned brother, his parents are elderly, his wife is pregnant, so they must draw the door to make money.

"If you don't get a car, you don't have income, and you have to pay management fees every day, which means you lose more than 100 yuan." A taxi driver said that their group, who would eat or drink every morning, "was gone." One hundred or two."

The bus driver rented a private house near the University Road Zoo. He earns more than 2,000 yuan a month, so he is usually reluctant to spend five or six yuan to drink a can of refreshing drinks.

It is understood that the income of bus drivers generally consists of four parts, namely, basic salary, safety awards, kilometer commissions, and revenue commissions, with the latter two accounting for about half. The so-called kilometer is the number of cars the driver ran and the less money he could run without a visit. The so-called revenue commission is how much money is received in the coin box during the trip, and there are fewer outbound vehicles and less revenue.

Even if the driver "does not care about money," the status quo of shortage of personnel will also make them unable to leave. According to an industry insider, in general, a bus with 2.5 to 3 drivers is more appropriate, but the reality is that Nanning bus drivers are in short supply, and most buses have only two drivers. If a driver gets sick leave, then the car may only run for half a day.

Taxi also has this problem. Master Li said that two people in a taxi are driving in a round and one night shift. If one of them can’t get out of the car on a temporary basis, it’s a good idea to ask for a top job. Although the company also implements this system, because of some cumbersome management, the brother also feels trouble.

Psychological pressures are ignored

Apart from sick brothers and bus drivers who are suspected to be asleep, as a member of the public transportation industry, there are many cases of fatigue. One brother enumerated their helplessness to reporters: family burdens, heavy management of money, fatigued bodies, and increasingly blocked roads.

The first is the driver's own problem. For example, there is a conflict with the family, or the parents are sick, or the child has to go to school. All these affect emotions. Even if the driver is not happy, he is not likely to take the initiative to ask for a car.

The other is the contradiction from the outside. The recent bus driver was injured, so many bus drivers admitted that they have psychological pressure. “Once you didn’t invest enough money, it was normal to mention awakening. Now we cannot meet such a situation.” On June 17, at the bus stop in front of Jiangnan Bus Terminal, there were still drivers talking about this. Things.

In addition to this extreme incident, it is common for drivers to encounter traffic jams and jams while they are on the move. Passengers do not understand and even curse, complaints that are grievances, etc. are common.

"To tell the truth, the service industry will inevitably suffer from unsatisfactory circumstances. However, some citizens have been greeted with indiscriminate disregard for food, and people are very uncomfortable. Some fiery drivers will counterattack," said a bus captain.

So how to groom the emotions of bus drivers? Does the bus company have a dedicated counseling room? Nanning Bus Corporation's reply is no. Some of them are organizations such as labor unions, but generally they only proceed from the perspective of human ethics, do mediation of family disputes, and respond to disputes, etc., and lack professional psychological counseling.

"Dora run." For taxi drivers, ignoring traffic rules and “drive vindictiveness” with people is a common occurrence, and the result is more likely to happen. A driver said that after a traffic accident, in addition to the traffic police penalties, returning to the company must also pay a fine and write a review. "No words of comfort are unattractive," he said. This seems to be a contradiction, but it is the source of his brother's general "anxious to get angry."

Is there any way to keep things steady?

For an early morning driver, they probably need to get up at 5am and simply wash before they can catch the commuter car. The bus stop will be prepared for breakfast, but for the first few drivers, there is often no time to eat.

“Before departure, we will have a pre-class meeting and we will routinely say some precautions and check the drivers’ documents. When we check the documents, we ask the driver to approach the person himself, in order to marry the driver. Whether there is a taste of wine or not, see if the eyes are red and swollen and there is no god,” said the deputy leader of the 24th road team. However, he said that this is also entirely based on the naked eye. In the transportation industry, there is a saying called "Car sickness is not on the road and human illness is not driving." Although the company has a whole set of methods, sometimes even if the driver is looking at the lack of spirit, he cannot judge whether he is taking enough rest to stop him from leaving the car.

The construction of the bus stop gives the driver some benefits. The reporter visited several bus stops in Anji, Chaoyang and Gaofeng. There are driver lounges there. Although the conditions are relatively simple, at least the driver can take a break.

As far as taxis are concerned, the usual shifts do not pass through the company, and there is no way to supervise them.

“Do you think our driver is sick or driving?” After work on the 16th night, the reporter took a taxi home. The driver was a 40-year-old driver. "It's not life to be forced. We also want to have a rest for two days a week. Do you say it?" The master's words kept the reporter silent.

It is understood that Liyang, Jiangsu Province has introduced a taxi driver "paid vacation" system, a driver can be off for two days a month, do not have to pay "management fees" in the past two days, 50 yuan per day for the cost of living, so that drivers can rest assured .
