Highway

 In Shanghai People's Congress for 11 years during the two sessions on charges, but the result was Some representatives said that might not mention the future.

we know, the highway has the properties of public goods, the government promising to provide national highway tax obligations and responsibilities. If in a given period, the state's revenue can not afford the cost of highway construction, can take the way of loans or issue bonds to raise funds, road repair fee after the loan, the loan has finished once, to have to stop charging, so that highway truly reflect the nature of public goods as.

According to statistics, Shanghai Hu Jia high since 1988 has been completed, fees and charges to reach a total investment of 230 million yuan in the first few times, under the road toll period, to repay the loan in accordance with the fees, funds raised to repay the principle of compensation provisions may not exceed 15 years. Accordingly, the Shanghai-Jiading expressway toll should have been canceled, and why they have not been able to achieve? Parties in the middle is the source of highway right of way will be sold to a commercial company in Shanghai, the highway becomes a profitable commodity in essence, so the fee deadline is infinitely delayed. In fact, it generated interest charges and did not return to the hands of the government, the people's money is flowing continuously into the pockets of businessmen.

challenge and pressure in the outside world, the parties made some loosening of the fee, decided to implement flexible charging, and to March 2009, Hu Jia pilot flexible high-speed toll system, in which buses free passage of cars implement flexible pricing policy, that is, free of the urban area to two-way highway tolls Nanxiang, Jiading Section Nanxiang way to a 5 yuan / Highway tolls charged trips. Flexible rates, many bus Hu Jia for free and took to high-speed, port fees and charges still need to take the access card; small passenger half of the fee waiver, but also blocked the toll gate, waiting for 5 yuan Keep the change. Result, people have not been fully protect the interests, but also to bear Ludu trouble.

highways as public goods, the right of way should be public rights, and must not be individual rights. Sale of rights of way naturally led to some individuals on the highway agency's monopoly, the interests of businessmen for an infinite pursuit of nature, where people can escape In short, for any reason, such as solve the congestion problem.
