San Jose ukuqwalasela inkqubo yokwabelana ngemoto

UKUBETHA INGXELO NGQO (papasho. 5/10/2011, iphe. 2A)
Ibali lichaze ngendlela engalunganga isicwangciso sikaSan Jose sokuqalisa inkqubo yokwabelana ngemoto. Isixeko asicwangcisi ukusebenzisa izithuthi zedolophu kodwa sifuna inkqubo eqhutywa yinkampani yabucala eza kwenza ukuba iimoto zayo zifumaneke kubasebenzi besixeko nakwabanye abahlala nabasebenza apha. Isixeko siya kuthatha umhlala-phantsi ukuya kutsho kwizithuthi ezili-10 kwiinqwelo zaso kwaye abanye abasebenzi basebenzise iimoto zokwabelana ngemoto kushishino olunxulumene nesixeko.

Qaphela abahleli: Iinguqulelo zangaphambili zeli bali ziqulathe izinto ezingachanekanga. Olu luguqulelo olulungisiweyo:

Ithatha ithuba lokuthandwa kweenkqubo zokurenta iimoto zexeshana ezinje ngeZipcar, iSan Jose icinga ukuthengisa ezinye zezithuthi zayo nokuba abasebenzi basezixekweni basebenzise inkqubo yokwabelana ngemoto endaweni yeshishini elinxulumene nesixeko.

Kwinyanga ezayo, isixeko siza kuqalisa inkqubo yokwamkela amaxabiso enkqubo eza kwenza ukuba isixeko sikhuphe ezinye zezithuthi zaso ezindala kwaye sivumele abanye abasebenzi basebenzise iimoto ezirentwayo kwinkampani efana neZipcar. Abasebenzi besiXeko baya kuba nedibs yokuqala ezimotweni ngeentsuku zokusebenza, kodwa kungenjalo iimoto ziya kufumaneka eluntwini ukuze zirente ngeyure.

Lo mbono ujongene nemingeni emininzi - ingaba ibiza malini isixeko kunye nabaqhubi? Kwaye ngaba oku kungasebenza kwindawo engaphantsi kwedolophu efana neSouth Bay enyakazelayo, apho abantu abaninzi banokukufumanisa kungenangqondo ukuncama iimoto zabo?

Kodwa kwabanye, ngumbono ofanele uqwalaselwe.

Ukuba inkqubo ibifikeleleka, ngokuqinisekileyo bendiya kuyiqwalasela, utshilo uKathryn Reyes, usothala weencwadi oneminyaka engama-41 ubudala eSan Jose State ohamba ngemoto esuka eSan Francisco kodwa epakisha kwindawo yaseWillow Glen kwaye ahambe iimayile ezintathu ukuya ekhampasini kuba indawo yokupaka ilungile. kunzima ukufumana.

Kuba ndihamba ngeenyawo ukuya emsebenzini, kukho amaxesha ekufuneka ndiqhube ngenxa yomsebenzi okanye idinga likagqirha, utshilo. Ukubuyela emva nokufumana indawo yokupaka kunokuba ngumngeni, kuxhomekeke kwindawo esikuyo emini.

Ingcamango yokwabelana ngemoto yakhula kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo, xa iBhunga laseSan Jose uSam Liccardo wadibana nabahlali kwiintlanganiso zasekuhlaleni malunga nokukhula kwexesha elizayo edolophini. Weva inkxalabo efanayo ngokuphindaphindiweyo.

I-traffic kunye neendawo zokupaka, izithuthi kunye neendawo zokupaka. Leyo yayiyimiba esasihlala siyiva ngayo, utshilo uLiccardo. Abantu basezidolophini bazimisele ngakumbi ukusebenzisa izinto zokuhamba, kwaye abanye babo banokucinga ukuba kungcono ngokwemali ukungabi namoto okanye ukulahla imoto yesibini. Ngokuqinisekileyo ilungile kuMhlaba.

Ukubhalisa kule nkqubo kunokuba simahla okanye kunokubiza ukuya kuthi ga kwi-500 yeedola ngonyaka. Xa abaqhubi besebenzisa isithuthi, baya kuhlawula umyinge weyure kuluhlu lweedola ezi-5 ukuya kwezili-10, ngokophononongo lweSan Jose lokuba ezinye iidolophu kunye namashishini zihlawulisa ntoni. I-inshurensi iza kuhlawulwa ngezi ntlawulo.

Iinzuzo kumsebenzisi wesabelo semoto iyakuba kukwazi ukuba inenqanaba elingaguqukiyo loshishino ukusuka kwisixeko, ngelixa isixeko siya kukwazi ukunciphisa ezinye zeendleko zokubonelela ngeenkonzo zezithuthi.

Umsebenzisi uya kufumana ikhadi elithi, xa eswayipha kwifestile yomoya, livule enye yeemoto ezirentwayo, ezinokupaka simahla kwiindawo ezibekelwe bucala kwizitrato zedolophu nakwiigaraji. Umrhumo unokuhlawula iindleko zerhasi kunye nezinye okanye zonke iimayile eziqhutywayo, okanye kunokubakho iintlawulo ezongezelelweyo ezi.

Uninzi lwabantu luya kusebenzisa le nkonzo ixesha elifutshane, mhlawumbi iiyure ezimbalwa ukwenza imisebenzi.

Inkqubo iza kuqala kancinci, atsho amagosa esixeko, mhlawumbi izithuthi ezintlanu ukuya kwezili-10 ekuqaleni kwaye zongezwa ngaphezulu kule minyaka idlulileyo.

Abantu abasebenzisa iinkonzo zokwabelana ngemoto bathi impembelelo kwi-wallet yakho inokubaluleka. Amalungu e-Zipcar anika ingxelo yokonga okuphakathi kwe-6,000 yeedola ngonyaka xa kuthelekiswa neendleko zokuba nemoto.

Ukuba kunye nokusebenza kwemoto kubiza i-$ 8,776 ngonyaka kumntu oqhuba i-15,000 yeemayile, ngokutsho koqikelelo lwe-AAA lwakutsha nje olwenziwe xa ixabiso legesi lilinganiselwa kwi-2.88 yeegaloni kuzwelonke.

Abanye abaqhubi banokuthandabuza kwabo malunga nombono wokwabelana ngemoto, kubandakanya uBen Sheng, injineli eneminyaka engama-32 ubudala yaseSan Jose.

Isithuthi ekwabelwana ngaso kufuneka sifumaneke ngokukhawuleza, utshilo, kwaye kufuneka sihambe umgama ukusuka ekhaya. Kungenjalo, bekuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukuba ndithethelele ukulahla isithuthi sam sesibini.

Noko ke, yiloo nto kanye eyenziwa nguMat Haynes. Xa wayehlala eBerkeley kwaye esebenza eSan Francisco kwiFehr & Peers, inkampani yokucebisa ngezothutho, waba lilungu leZipcar, wayilahla imoto yakhe yesibini yosapho kwaye wakhwela iBART ukuya eofisini. Xa wayefuna amavili ezintlanganisweni zoshishino, wathatha iZipcar, kwaye wathi olu ncedo luluncedo olukhulu. Uthi ngokuqhelekileyo wayechitha ngaphantsi kwe-1,000 yeedola ngonyaka.

Ngalo lonke ixesha ndiba neentlanganiso kwiindawo ekungafikeleli kuzo lula xa kudlula, ndandidla ngokuqesha iZipcar iiyure ezimbalwa, watsho uHaynes, ngoku olawula iofisi yenkampani yakhe iSan Jose eWest Santa Clara Street kwaye ehlala ebhayisekile ukuya emsebenzini. Xa efuna imoto, uya kwiziko leZipcar eSanta Clara.

Ukuba ukwabelana ngemoto kuza eSan Jose, ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kwenza kube lula ngakumbi apha, utshilo.

Njengoko abaqhubi bekhalaza malunga nokuchitha i-60 yeedola okanye ngaphezulu ukuze bazalise kwisithuthi esinobungakanani obuphakathi njengeCamry, kunye noloyiko lokuba lunokuba lukhulu ngoSuku lweSikhumbuzo, umbono unokuqhubeka.

Ukwabelana ngemoto kunokusebenza kwiindawo eziphantsi kwedolophu, nangona le yimarike encinci, utshilo uSusan Shaheen, umlawuli weZiko loPhando lokuZinzo kwezoThutho e-UC-Berkeley. Ukwabelana ngemoto kudla ngokunyuka kwamalungu xa amaxabiso egesi enyuka. Kule meko, inokuba lixesha elifanelekileyo lokuba iSan Jose iphande ngale nto.
