| Summary | Based on the goals of passenger safety and efficient government management, this study reviews the market status and relative regulations of the commercial bus industry of several countries, analyzes the factors that affect market order, and proposes programs to improve market order. The internal factor that affects the market order of the commercial bus industry is due to the franchise mechanism of tourist coaches. This study applies the system analysis method to analyze the causal relationship within the market, and proposes five programs to the government as references to deal with franchise mechanism status defects, including (a) Issuing tourist coach licenses according to the turnover of the applicant (b) Issuing certification to qualified drivers regularly (c) Improving the use of journey forms (d) Asking every tourist coach to install digital tachographs and use Global Positioning System (e) Surveying and Ranking the service quality and operation performance of tourist coach companies regularly. The external factor that affects the market order of the commercial bus industry is due to improper business classification. The laws and regulations should be revised in order to fit the socio-economic development and new service requirements. This study applies deduction and induction methods to obtain an appropriate market sector classification according to the service attributes. The market sector classification of the commercial bus industry is suggested to be: (a) regular passenger carrier (category A and B) (b) taxi carrier (c) special regular (specific commuter) passenger carrier (d) tourist coaches carrier. Additionally, the long-term and short-term law/regulation revision programs are proposed in this study to the government for reference. |
