Recently, some buses in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, have become a topic of discussion.
In the very hot summer, some bus drivers are unwilling to turn on the air conditioning.
It turns out that this is related to a new rule introduced by the bus company.
In March this year, Lanzhou's bus company began implementing a new rule.
The company requires that if a bus uses more electricity and gas than the set standard, part of the driver's salary will be deducted.
The company originally hoped to save energy and reduce costs through this measure.
However, this rule has caused some problems.
This is because some buses are relatively old and naturally need more electricity and gas.
Drivers of older buses found that no matter how hard they tried, money would be deducted from their pay every month.
In summer, turning on the air conditioning increases the use of electricity and gas even more.
To avoid having their pay deducted, many drivers have no choice but to leave the air conditioning off.
As a result, the buses become extremely hot. Many passengers feel uncomfortable and have expressed their dissatisfaction online.
People believe that buses serve the public, and company rules should not make passengers and drivers suffer.
After the news report, the bus company took notice of the problem.
They said that the company's original idea was good, but there were indeed unreasonable aspects in its actual implementation.
At present, the company has suspended this rule.
It is understandable that a business wants to reduce costs, but its management methods need to be more scientific and should give more consideration to employees and passengers.
Only in this way can drivers' interests be protected while also providing everyone with a comfortable travel experience.
