Is it safe or convenient? The bus crashed into the cliff and caused sleepers to stay in the fight

At 2:09 a.m. yesterday, Wuxi headed for Xiamen and the bus with the license plate number é—½ DY5719 reached the Shantou Viaduct section of the Yacheng section of Xiapu County in Fujian Province. When the accident occurred, it collapsed into the valley and killed more than 20 people. The reporter learned from the Jiangsu Provincial Transportation Management Bureau yesterday that the accident was managed by a passenger transport company in Xiamen, Fujian Province. It was a 45-passenger Yutong sleeper.

The sleeper bus is again in trouble, and people question the safety of sleeper cars. In fact, after the death of 41 passengers caused by the burning of the "7.22" bus at the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway last year, the safety of sleeper cars has attracted the attention of the relevant state departments.

On December 31 last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued Circular 632. It stipulates that before the revision of the safety technical standards for sleeper buses, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will suspend the application of the “Announcement” for new products of sleeper buses; since March 1st this year, the production and sales of the relevant sleeper buses will be suspended, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will suspend all sleeper bus products. 》The public security authorities and traffic management departments suspended the registration of registration of sleeper buses.

According to the Provincial Public Security Bureau Traffic Control Bureau, on March 1st, the traffic control department of our province has stopped registering the sleeper buses. Relevant persons said: "This means that if there are no new access regulations, according to the normal retirement time of sleeper buses, around 5 or 6 years, the operating sleeper buses on the passenger transport market will gradually disappear."

Zhou Tiguang, deputy director of the Transport Department of the Provincial Department of Transport, told reporters that there are currently about 980 sleeper buses in our province, which are mainly used for passengers over 1,000 kilometers long, such as from our province to Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Beijing, and Tianjin. In general, the pattern of "Towards Evening towards" is generally used.

However, there are different views on whether the sleeper should be cancelled or not.

People in the traffic control department stated that poor safety was the main reason for the “stopping” of long-distance sleeper cars. The long-distance sleeper generally has two upper and lower sleepers. The body is 30 centimeters taller than the ordinary “seat car”. It is more prone to roll over in emergency situations. Due to the single-door dual-passage design in the compartment, the space is relatively cramped. Once a fire occurs, etc. , it is difficult to quickly evacuation.

According to Zhou Quanguang, it is not possible to cancel the sleeper because of accidents in the sleeper cars. "Actually, there are also many accidents in the 'seater car'. It may not be safer because it is a 'seat car'." He believes that the production of sleeper cars is also subject to safety inspections. The reason why accidents occur is more It is related to the quality of the driver and the degree of operation specification. For example, the “7.22” accident was directly caused by the illegal use of sleeper buses to transport flammable and explosive chemicals that should have been transported by refrigerated trucks.

Nanjing Changke Group is a long-distance passenger transportation company that is rated by Nanjing. About 20 out of more than 800 buses are sleeper cars, mainly running in Qingdao, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Dalian. Yesterday at 3:50 pm, sleepers from Nanjing to Zhuhai were about to start. In the face of the question of whether or not a sleeper car should be cancelled, the driver Hu told the reporter: “From a safety point of view, there is no difference between a sleeper car and a seat car. The key is that passengers need it. I think it should not be cancelled.”

The passengers in the car are mostly worried about the exit of the sleeper bus. According to their reports, sleeper buses are still the main means of transportation for passengers to travel long distances. Once cancelled, it means that these passengers need to ride for more than ten or even dozens of hours. “This is more difficult. We take the plane and the high-speed rail. In some places, there are no high-speed rails or planes. We sleep on a sleeper bus and sleep on it. The price is not expensive either. Why should we cancel it?

Of course, there are also passengers who voted in favor of cancelling sleepers. Mr. Lu, a citizen of Nanjing, used to sleep in a sleeper many years ago. “Taste is too bad” has become his deep memory. Moreover, “Space is more crowded and it may be more difficult to escape if something goes wrong.”

“We have been using sleeper cars since the 1980s. From such many years of operation, the proportion of safety accidents is not higher than that of the seat cars.” Zhao Genhua, deputy director of Nanjing Changke Group’s office, stated that in the future, what models will be adopted for long lines will be National policy is based on.
