Looking forward to the Net Daily, Shenzhen exposing the news of women’s resistance to subway security and high-heeled assaults on police officers has caused fierce discussions among the general public for a time. In fact, this kind of violence is not the first time it has happened. According to the relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Metro Group's Transport Management Office, since the security check was launched on March 7, 2014, there have been more than 50 passenger refusal inspection incidents and 36 violent anti-inspection incidents in Shenzhen subway stations, of which 20 were administratively executed. detention. These cases do not include incidents where passengers and security personnel quarreled. At the same time, the number of subway incidents in the country was zero.
It is undeniable that subway safety inspections bring more safety to passengers. Other cities in China, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenyang, and Nanjing, all require security. However, there have been no security checks on the Japanese subways that have been attacked by sarin gas, the London subways that have been bombed by terrorist attacks, and the U.S. subways that are flooded with guns. Is there any need for subway security inspections and how much is the cost of subway security? How much economic benefit has it produced?
Take Shenzhen as an example to estimate the cost of underground subway security. As of May 2015, Shenzhen has a total of five subway lines with an average daily passenger flow of 3 million passengers.
First calculate the equipment cost. According to the Shenzhen Municipal Railroad Office, Shenzhen organized the Universiade for the World University Games. From June 28 this year, 286 X-ray baggage screening machines were installed at the subway stations of the five subway lines. They were from three manufacturers. The cheapest is 30. Million yuan, 286 machines worth about 120 million yuan. This does not include equipment maintenance and maintenance costs.
Again, it is labor costs. The Shenzhen Metro has a total of 131 stations and 286 X-ray baggage screening machines . According to surveys, according to the difference in passenger flow at each subway station, the number of security personnel per security inspection machine is different. The average estimate is that each security inspection machine is equipped with three security personnel, and the security inspection personnel fall in two shifts. The security personnel's salary is 3000+. Therefore, the monthly labor cost is at least 286×3×2×3000=5148,000. Every year, the cost of light security manpower exceeds more than 60 million!
In this way, if the cost of equipment is converted every year, the annual cost of security inspection for Shenzhen Metro is estimated to be around 100 million yuan.
What is the social cost of the subway security inspection? According to the current average daily traffic of 3 million passengers in Shenzhen Metro, each security inspection takes about half a minute, a total of about 1.5 million minutes, which is equivalent to 3125 working days. According to Shenzhen's latest minimum wage of 2030 yuan/month, the monthly time cost is 6,343,750 yuan, and 76,125,000 yuan per year!
Forward-looking Industry Research Institute's " 2015-2020 China's metro industry development prospects and investment strategic planning analysis report " pointed out that as of the end of 2014, the country has 22 cities built 95 subways, 1900 seats, operating mileage reached 2900 kilometers. If so many stations fully implement security checks, it will be a lot of astronomical costs.
The development level of the metro is an important indicator of the degree of modernization and internationalization of a city. The subway has brought convenience to the citizens of Guangdong, and certainly will bring about some other aspects of rising costs. After the opening of the subway, the increase in the price of houses and rental prices around the subway station is an aspect. In the face of an increasingly developed transportation network, how to effectively manage it will be a major challenge for the government.
