Drivers usually have to wait in line to pay for their fine because the number of tickets issued has surged as stricter control has been imposed on transportation. The “123123”APP run by the Department of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China and the Shanghai public transportation management platform (http://sh.122.gov.cn) have offered service to handle fine that is below 2 points and 200 RMB. Drivers do not have to wait in front of the office for these violations.
The reporter saw at the Yangpu transportation branch violation handling office that the line was more than 50 meters long and was getting longer. According to the police Xu Bingxia, it takes them 1 minute to handle a violation of a simpler nature and 4 to 5 minutes for a more complicated one. They have to work a heavy load of dealing with 500 to 600 drivers every day and the drivers suffer from the long wait as well. Now, drivers can make things easy by register their vehicle and their driver license and license of the vehicle on the two platforms.
Up to three drivers can register with one vehicle on the platform to ensure the safety of the drivers. Apart from dealing with tickets, the platform also offers service in appointment for renewing drivers’ license, vehicle violation history enquiry and plate application.
