China news agency, Beijing, September 16 – Side by side to visit Libya in French and British leaders, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman and the 15 EU leaders have to Libya, “the National Transitional Council,” an appeal to promote the formation of the “inclusive government” in order to achieve national reconciliation. Analysts here believe that this ability to adapt to the voice of the international community has become a “transition committee” the touchstone of the ability to govern.

Commitment to assist in the “transition committee” to wipe out the remnants of Gaddafi to facilitate the provision of food and drugs at the same time, Britain and France urged the “transitional committee” of tolerance and caring, to establish an inclusive government, called on the Libyan people look to the future, to avoid retaliation.

Permanent European Council President HermanRompuy15 attend the fourth South Africa – EU summit, also said the formation of a democratic and pluralistic, free and fair expression of the new government of the EU to recognize the “transition committee” for the legitimate government of Libya and the United Nations, a prerequisite for membership.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu 15, also said China hopes all parties on Libya inclusive political transition process and achieve national reconciliation and national reconstruction.

Submitted by the parties for the establishment of “inclusive government” suggested that China’s international relations director of the Institute Qu Xing accept China news agency reporters in an interview that “tolerance” refers to the internal anti-Gaddafi regime between different religious and political factions should be cautious. As we all know, the composition of the anti-Gaddafi camp complex, including former government officials, people returning from overseas and traditional tribal forces, etc., which increases the power of the instability. Therefore, the new government of Libya must have a very inclusive in order to meet the demands of various political forces. This helps to reduce the resistance to facing the new government, but also conducive to the formation of a benign government constraints.

Qu Xing also pointed out that, as opposed to facing the “anti-card” within the camp of the “inclusive” voice, the British and French leaders call “tolerance” should refer to the former regime supporters of the government’s attitude to be taken, to urge the “transition Committee “to give up on these people’s political settlement. Establish a new government soon, all of the former regime’s supporters to push their opposition is not rational choice.

For the West in the “transition committee” set up an inclusive government’s positive attitude, Qu Xing analysis, Libya to establish an inclusive government in line with the interests of Western countries, so they are easier to find their own voice, to further consolidate its future policy in Libya process control.

Qu Xing also pointed out that the establishment of an inclusive government “transition committee” is concerned is not a simple task. Not only because of the “transitional committee” of a complex government, but also because “to the cake, when there are several who do not want to Duan Panzi people.” Therefore, from war to peace, Libya “transition committee” in the “Houkazhafei era” in the first round of exams which can produce transcripts, it was difficult to predict.

Take the initiative to strike up beautiful home invite

October 1984 to February 1985 period, the 24-year-old almost every morning in Orlando, Florida Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Hotel, play the piano, she is from Melbourne, Australia, in Florida Central University for music, love the piano and make a living. Daily breakfast, the lobby of the Hyatt hotel magnificent Disneyland Feng Wan is usually just a one-day side with a tired travelers, or business sense to talk about real estate businessman.

However, in October 1984 one morning, a bright and piercing eyes, a bushy black hair and middle-aged man came to ask her with a strange accent, Dan Yiqu Beethoven’s “Zhiailisi”, after the even bigger praise, reward her $ 20 tip and asked her: “do you play for private parties?” and then swap the card.

He is Salem bin Laden, claiming to be from Disneyland in a house not far, near to where the dinner several members from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s royal family, his home piano, I hope she will be able to go to add to the fun party play.

“Next time bring your sister to”

A few days later, she was invited to the Salem mansion. Salim meal diverted to the outside of her, take her to visit the estate. He was almost 40 years old, little man, about 5 feet 7 inches, body fat, though not for lack of exercise and a bit loose. His hand chain smoker, has been a marked black bags under the eyes, but the conversation quite attractive, with their wealth, fully able to quickly produce affinity.

As darkness fell, the villa more and more people, mostly Saudi men to the holiday, there are the few middle-aged American women, their friends or Salim or business dealings with him. Living room with a Yamaha piano, Lynn played in there, Salim said the final party will continue to let her come back tomorrow: “Bring your sister, bring your friends, girls needed here!”

The next day, Lynn brought a girlfriend and two of her sisters, and the scene formed a band and decided to show a talent show. Salim promised, the first name will receive $ 5,000 in prize money, and himself as the referee. An American lady sing, Lynn is performed piano, Lynn’s girlfriend, and no special musical talent, she decided to share with all of the recent Saudi friends and their children experiencing divorce. For men, the main body of the Saudi royal family as the absolute or business people, the kind of women the pain and wonder of life on the privacy of personal monologues absolutely very rare, tell everyone to listen to her, surprisingly quiet, so quiet even feel a little strange Lynn .

She finished, Salim of Lynn, said: “I am really sad.” He likes her girlfriend, her divorce was very sad, immediately come up with $ 1,000 in cash and asked her to comfort his girlfriend to show.

Together with Salim, a work of the U.S. in Orlando, Ms. Lynne suddenly dragged aside and quietly said to her: “You know, Salim really like you!” “Between men and women like it?” Years later, recall vividly the original is still the case, “I will never forget her then, she said:” Lynn, this is a great opportunity, you are so young, unencumbered He can take you around the world, all set for your operation, if I were you, would not miss this opportunity. ”

Only the management of transportation demand management that is the source of all the first place, the implementation of demand management and the combination of real-time management of traffic management, to achieve the purpose of effective management.

Hong Kong – financial center, commerce, the exhibition of all … … is the busiest road in the world today one of the regions, although the narrow streets, busy, but the traffic is smooth, complex and orderly, busy but not chaotic. Hong Kong’s traffic can be described as a great modern wonders of the world’s cities, in-depth observation, because winning has a scientific and efficient transport system.

“Inaction” instead of “Dodge”

Statistics show that the world is loss of basic bus services, the only Hong Kong profits. And the traffic death rate was only 0.21 million people in Hong Kong.

Highly developed market economy of Hong Kong, the Government generally does not interfere with market operations, bus services were provided by private or public sector operations; government does not intervene directly, or provide funding.

Government to manage the public transport service it? Environment, Transport and Works Bureau Principal Assistant Secretary Patrick HO said, “We do not need to control them, are registered company with Company Law, the shareholders, Board of Directors and management. If the system is operating normally, there is no need to interfere with the Government; if the operation failure, affect the public interest, the Government will of course intervene. players have problems let players out, there are problems on the adjustment rules of the game rules. In this sense, the Government’s management is ‘passive’ is. “” Do nothing but “it is” great order. ” Board of Directors of a private company has to have government departments, participate in monthly board meetings, to keep the company’s financial position and operating conditions. Company for every major decision will be made on behalf of the Government’s views of the Government. Transport Department meeting with the bus companies on a regular basis, to brief them on the transport sector’s future development plans.

Hong Kong’s MTR Corporation, the bus companies, minibus companies, taxi companies are constantly studying the transport needs of the people. Cell changes in demographic characteristics, changes in road conditions, the completion of new homes, new construction of bridges, the opening of new commercial buildings, are they opening a new route, get rid of the old route, increase or decrease the frequency of trains and other decision-making. These companies benefit most from the operational efficiency of principles, the continuous improvement of traffic routes and services to enable vehicles to maximize use of resources, optimal, that is, to prevent unwanted vehicles to run on the road, and for environmental protection and contribute to smooth traffic . Shows the role of economic levers of the executive order can not match.

Government management of the bus service is actually a macro adjustment policies and regulations adopted to implement. Government’s other main function is to strengthen coordination between public transport services, while preserving a certain degree of competition and choice for the public.

From the traffic management can be seen in Hong Kong: Hong Kong is the social market economy, it is free and democratic society, the rule of law-based society, freedom is the rule of law under the premise of freedom.

Traffic management design is full of human wisdom

Less people and more. Mountain and sea, terrain, and even in many parts of “rugged” to describe the construction of urban roads very difficult. According to my observations, there are two of Hong Kong’s urban road characteristics, namely, mostly narrow and twisty roads, it is difficult to see Beijing as wide as the road straight; Second, many roads have a greater slope. Compared with road traffic in Beijing, Hong Kong’s road can only be used “shabby” to describe less than 20 meters wide driveway, running buses, trams, mini buses, taxis, private cars, rows “pass”, only when “your fingertips.”

Government to improve the travel environment as a key project, a large number of building bridges, tunnels, air corridors. The core area of ​​Hong Kong Island, from Wan Chai to Central, there are several kilometers long air corridor, the many government departments, hotels, office buildings and large commercial centers connected into a network, pedestrians free access. The feeling of the air corridor is safe and convenient and comfortable. As people and vehicles, to solve the problem of mixed traffic contention channel. Hong Kong has a number of overpasses service lifts for disabled, blind and wheelchair users simply press bell, there is someone to serve them.

In my eyes, Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city full of symbols.

Hong Kong traffic signs and markings isolation facilities and a reasonable range, reflecting the human love and care. Such as Hong Kong’s traffic markings on the road there is a distinction with Beijing, such as the use of yellow crosswalk lines are solid lines, appear to be more eye-catching; guide sign the contents of a coherent and clear, so motorists can quickly reach their destinations through the guide. Hong Kong’s “No Parking” signs vary, depending on the time limit set different locations, marked “24 hours”, “7 am to 12 midnight,” and so on. A lot of “bend” warning signs are and “Slow Down” signs used in conjunction with the text. “Selected lane”, “No for-line” and other marks are labeled with text. Where the forbidden line, where to turn, where the passengers up and down, signs on the label was well aware that the name of the street signs are in Chinese and English on the tips, no wonder people say, as long as you know the word, never lost.

Hong Kong has more than 2,000 lights junction, the city intersection, a crosswalk, the traffic lights are set. Some past the crosswalk lights and sound-intensive with the use of green light when the sound of breath, urging pedestrians quickly through, when the red light relief to remind pedestrians to be patient.

Hong Kong Transport Department continued to investigate each intersection is always the peak of traffic in, and the number of vehicles released each lamp, as long as the improvement of the basis set the traffic light. Not only the traffic lights, traffic marking, labeling, driving directions and other traffic management elements will be “on-demand adjustment.” Such as the dotted line for a solid line, increase identity and other simple operations, either proposed by the Transport Department staff, and drivers can also accept the views of the public, through the engineer’s assessment to inform the Highways Department to modify, the whole process a few days is enough, work very efficient.

Hong Kong attaches great importance to the static traffic management. In Hong Kong, the Construction parking lot to diversify investment and commercial operations, large buildings and so on with parking suitable for any company or individuals have the right to arbitrarily change the parking purposes.

Government property inside the car park, outside office hours open to the public parking. Statistics show that the Hong Kong Government premises open to the public car park a private car parking spaces have 1087. Hong Kong, there are 18,000 metered parking spaces, set the time limit for the half-hour metered yellow, brown one hour, blue for two hours. All metered parking spaces department using the “Octopus card” pay, downtown 15 minutes to 2 Hong Kong dollars, the more remote areas close 30 minutes 2 million. Government-built open-air parking lot, 8 dollar per hour; hourly public parking building, in the New Territories, Hong Kong is generally between 10 and 14, a busy urban area in Hong Kong between 16 to 22; private enterprises to build commercial parking building fee is more expensive, even high in Causeway Bay HK 30 per hour.

At present, a glut of private car parking spaces. Private car parking spaces all day, 25 million, while demand but 157,000; private car parking spaces at night there are 522,000, and the demand but 439,000.

Hong Kong TrafficLaws and regulationsEnforcement great. Drink-driving conviction, regardless of whether the accident caused by a maximum fine of 25,000 Hong Kong dollars and imprisonment for 3 years; passengers do not wear seat belts, a maximum fine of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, imprisonment for 3 months; use of mobile phones during driving, the maximum a fine of HK 2000; non-compliance with traffic lights, a fine of 600 Hong Kong dollars, scoring 5 points; pedestrian red light running, a maximum fine of HK 2000; transport vehicle ban eating, or will be heavy fines; two-hour parking meter limit, if the super- can be fined 320 yuan. To ensure traffic safety, the government sent plainclothes day walking among the pedestrians, the relevant departments under the new conditions continue to develop new regulations.

Hong Kong police have had years of experience in police administration and the foundation of good planning, coupled with a strict rule of law and the efficiency of processing of cases, was acclaimed as the best police force in Asia, also is recognized worldwide as one of the best police force. Gangjing contains different departments, and the Ministry of Communications Operations is responsible for controlling traffic, enforcing traffic laws, investigate traffic accidents, promote road safety, the implementation of traffic laws and so on.

About 1,700 traffic police in Hong Kong, usually patrol the streets on duty are Qizhuomotuo. No fixed police post in Hong Kong, all the traffic police are “flying the police.” Where an accident, there must be within 9 minutes the police arrived to resolve processing, high efficiency and admirable. One time, I not familiar with the road, looked around lost, drive too slowly. At this time, “flying police” pull over to my eye, and examination of finished driver’s license, the said gently, “your speed is too slow, driving influence behind the car.” After hearing my explanation, and without penalty, but said the sentence “Follow after me”, it brought me to the destination motorcycle. This service allows me to vote in admiration.

Facilitate the development of public transport all the people

Hong Kong’s geographical environment is complex, narrow area, very little room to improve road conditions, so another kind of government innovation and ideas: in a large-scale road improvement can and can not restrict people travel case, focusing on the development of road area per capita small, high capacity public transport, private cars to a certain extent. Smooth roads in Hong Kong, first of all thanks to the “bus priority” traffic management strategies, and developed public transport system and effective law enforcement management is an important symbol of social progress.

Hong Kong’s public transportation is extremely convenient.

Double-decker trams in Hong Kong close to jokingly as the “jingle truck.” Ding Dong, issued from the vehicle when the jingling sound of running, the image appropriate. It began operating in 1904, it has been 108 years. Hong Kong from a small fishing village into an international metropolis of skyscrapers, only the entire 30 kilometers east-west tram track has not changed. From the first stop Shau Kei Wan to Kennedy Cheng Mei Station only two dollars, and the average several hundred meters there is a station, very convenient. At present, the Hong Kong Tramways company has 163 double-decker trams, the average daily trips by 24 million passengers are set out. Service known as the world is still the largest fleet of double-decker tram.

Ding Dong the car roof is of wood, antique, looked up will be sitting inside a kind of romantic nostalgia surging emotions, has become a beautiful landscape of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong buses are imported cars, the latest double-decker buses worth nearly 300 million dollars, spacious seating, the use of variable speed, equipment, and performance are all first class. Hong Kong bus routes covering most areas of Hong Kong, children under 16 years of age or older and 60 years of age half price for concessions. Bus drivers, “one person control.” Provisions of the Hong Kong bus companies, will not stop at every station. If no one at the bus stop to get off dead people waiting for the bus, the driver can not stop to save time and improve traffic efficiency. The car is equipped with vertical pole Rotary bell button, just ahead of the passengers to get off the press of a button, on the bridge will be displayed.

Time bus arrival time in minutes, must not be delayed, bus companies to submit annual plans to the government line have reported the development of quasi-point rate case, once the violation is to be punished.

Hong Kong from time to time there will be staff in some key bus stops to collect data, record the vehicle arrival time interval, the number of such vehicles, the number of passengers per vehicle, etc., and adjust the time period as need to start the number, frequency inferior decision-making basis, to achieve the best utilization of vehicles, both passenger car to meet the needs of the car without wasting resources, while reducing the burden on the road.

Hong Kong Public Light Bus lines provide special services. Public light bus (referred to as light, commonly known as Van Aberdeen) is a capacity for 16 persons, air-conditioned passenger vehicles (all seats), the fare indicated on the front glass and the destination, as the auxiliary bus and rail and feeder traffic tool. Under the existing Hong Kong law, only 4,350 light buses in Hong Kong trading. License type under the light can be divided into “red public light buses” and “green light” two.

Red light, red roof and the words “public light bus 16 seats, PUBLIC LIGHT BUS 16 SEATS”, the body is painted with yellow flesh. Advantage of it into the community, or even downstairs can take, and as long as the section in the non-stopping at any time to indicate the driver can get on and off, “on call with the stop” greatly facilitate the travelers. No stop button inside the vehicle, passengers need to get off and get off before the call out location, the driver usually raise their hands. Take the minibus, visitors need to have some Cantonese, because most public light bus drivers can not communicate in English or Mandarin, but also well-known tourist minibus routes, otherwise there is no way to get off at the exact location.

Green light, green roof, paint, body paint flesh yellow. With fixed routes, frequency, station and charges by the Department supervision. The protection of traffic safety, quality of service is very credibility. But we know that most of the green minibus routes have designated hours of operation, only a small part of the green minibus routes will be created overnight.

Hong Kong MTR the most famous. Hong Kong MTR Corporation is a wholly owned Hong Kong SAR Government, but not directly operated by the government, but by contract, the composition commissioned by the Government Board of Directors to manage operations. Hong Kong subway car mid-level of 99.9% on time. Hong Kong MTR has been opened since 1979, has developed into a seven lines, length of 91 km of the subway system network. A total of 53 stations, 16 of which as a transit station. Volume of the total volume of 30% of the public transport system. Every subway station is a bus center, a large number of bus lines in this connection. Currently, the line between the Hong Kong subway, and truly the convenience of passengers of the “zero” transfer, or even “double zero”, “three zero” transfer. For the newly arrived outsiders, just show the platform will make it convenient road map for where you want to reach, even if it is a underground city, it will not get lost, who rode the subway in Hong Kong who will be the accessible line, attention to detail on the lanes and convenient self-service intimate impressed.

Hong Kong’s public transportation is very convenient water, mainly divided into three categories: Hong Kong Island to Kowloon line crossing the color wheel with tourism; Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories to the outlying islands ferry; Hong Kong to Macao, Guangdong quick fly around the ship.

In short, our proven construction and management of public transport, urban road traffic congestion, cars on the road alone after the end real-time management of road traffic management that is often confusing duplication of efforts and even add new chaos of last resort. Only the management of transportation demand management that is the source of all the first place, the implementation of demand management and the combination of real-time management of traffic management, root symptoms combined with integrated management approach to achieve the purpose of effective management.

Hong Kong’s official car best embodies the “selfless”

About 75 government departments in Hong Kong, about 6,350 official vehicles, official cars accounted for 1.1% of the proportion of the total motor vehicles; of which about three-quarters of the disciplined, military and other seven major service departments, other departments with the amount of vehicles is strictly controlled. Cars, sport utility vehicles, passenger / goods vehicles the main vehicle of the Government. Car exhaust routine office requirements needed in between 1.3 to 2.0 liters, the brand is mainly Mazda, Toyota, Volkswagen and so on. In addition, also the first use of hybrid and diesel vehicles and electric cars, energy saving and environmental protection play an important role model.

It is learned that there are about 150,000 civil servants, ninety percent or more to work each day to rely on public transport. Hong Kong government regulations, civil servants, business travels, cheap means of transport shall be selected, the majority of subway, bus, taxi, etc., specified that “only in the absence of public transport can reach the destination, or if necessary, before use of government vehicles.” 43 Hong Kong Government and the taxi companies or trade associations signed a contract, all government departments need for official vehicles, to electric bills to door taxi, costs 100 Yuan / hour. According to statistics, over the past two years, the average annual expenditure of 27 million, only the purchase price of an ordinary car. On the other hand, the Government also encourages departments to meet short-term temporary rental of commercial vehicles need to control the increase in the government fleet. Government control of the bus, in addition to reducing administrative costs and more take the lead in reducing the total vehicle flow and energy savings to keep the road will.

Procurement of official vehicles in Hong Kong designated by the Government Logistics Department, procurement procedures and general purpose vehicles under its management takes specific group of vehicles to operate the procurement, procurement vehicle types including sedans, passenger / goods vehicles, trucks and buses. Government allocated a sum of money each year to the Logistics Department specifically for the procurement of government vehicles. Appropriation each year by the Legislative Council Finance Committee approved the draft budget for consideration. Procurement procedures of the vehicle is mainly through open tender procurement. To ensure more consistent with the provisions of the purchase of vehicles, the Government adopted a points system, in addition to measuring the prices, the vehicles will be considered throughout the life cycle of the various factors involved, including maintenance costs, warranty period and the fuel consumption and so on.

Management of the Hong Kong Government vehicles are also reasonable. To overcome the government field staff and the team work hard to control in outdoor work and the drawbacks of making a false report, GSD introduction of satellite tracking system installed in government vehicles positioning equipment. Practice shows that the efficiency of these vehicles has greatly improved not only easy the deployment process, reduce transfer time, but also enhanced the transparency of the field staff working outdoors.

Use and management of official vehicles in Hong Kong’s successful experience is also worth learning from. Hong Kong such as Hong Kong Transport Department’s planning and management of road traffic in the official car of the equipment, the use of supposedly has the advantage of proximity, but this has more than 1,000 departments, public service vehicles less than 10 vehicles. Such as Hong Kong strict control of the bus parking spaces. Parking is only charged with the special duties assigned to the special nature of the work and the people, the number of minimal. Moreover, the ICAC is responsible for the specification of the use of official vehicles to monitor, if found Gongchesiyong other irregularities, should be handled strictly by the book.

December 9, 2010, Hong Kong “Oriental Daily” published a “Government” the former Director of the Department of Justice, the NationalNPCHong Kong Basic Law Committee, Ms Elsie Leung, deputy director of the Landmark in Central, waiting for more than 20 minutes, line up, “taxi” photos. Reports that since leaving office, Ms Elsie Leung, access to most of the Central law firm use of public transport, is the most commonly take the taxi.

In fact, the SAR government officials regardless of rank, whether the car, visit friends for holidays to visit relatives and other private affairs are no public vehicles. Gongsifenming That was the rule, not privileges.

The moment, Beijing is full discussion “rule blocking” scheme, people on the bus more and more calls for reform, I believe that the official vehicle management practices in Hong Kong enlightening to us.
