北京救護車本月起實行打表收費

Beijing is installing taxi-like meters in 580 ambulances in a move to curb customer complaints of overcharging. The municipality is the first in China to implement such a policy citywide, media reported.

近日，在北京580輛救護車上，類似出租車上的計程器被安裝在上面，以此處理客戶對要價太高的投訴。根據媒體報道，這是中國第一次在全市範圍內實行這樣的政策。

Beginning May 1, select fleets of 120 and 999 emergency response vehicles will operate with meters to help drivers and patients clearly tally up ambulance fees, the Beijing Morning Post reported on Saturday.

據《北京晨報》上週六報道，從5月1日開始，120和999的一些應急車輛將開始打表計價，爲司機和病人清楚地計算出救護車的費用。

The base fare is 50 yuan (7.69 dollars) within three kilometers and 7 yuan for each additional kilometer, according to the new tariffs set by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision.

根據北京市政府質量技術監督局設定的新價格表顯示，基本票價是三公里內50元，每增加一公里收費7元。

The policy replaces the non-transparent system of drivers calculating charges right after being dispatched from the hospital, where fees could easily reach into the hundreds of yuan and result in disputes between drivers and customers, The Beijing News reported.

《新京報》報道稱，該政策代替了原來的非透明系統。即司機從離開醫院開始計費，這樣費用可以很快達到上百元，這樣就引起了司機和客戶間的糾紛。

A similar policy was piloted in 2009 at Shanghai's Songjiang District Medical Emergency Center, media reported.

據媒體報道，類似的政策於2009年在上海松江區醫療急救中心試點。

The new fares saw their fair share of debate online.

隨即，這一新的收費方案在網絡上引起了熱議。

"Didi Taxi should also launch an ambulance dispatch service," "burry51" from Tianjin said.

來自天津的“burry51”這樣表示：“滴滴打車應該推出救護車服務。”

"Finally there is a standard. Compared with what seemed like a random charging system, this is progress," "Zhengzhou Huahui Zulin Zubai" said.

“終於有個標準了。比起隨便亂收費，這是個進步，”網名爲“鄭州花卉租賃租擺”的用戶這樣評價。

"I hope they won't take detours on purpose," "Nanjing Chengli Xia Yuanxiao," a Sina Weibo user said.

新浪微博用戶“南京城裏下元宵”說道：“我希望他們不要故意繞遠道。”
