禁止停车费打折

（文本为视频大致内容，可能与视频并非完全一致）

Policies with good intentions, but the reality sometimes tells a different story. Last year, the Beijing municipal government trialed higher parking fees in several areas. But parking lot operators introduced discounts to offset the cost.
政策本身是好的，但是事实有时却是相反。去年，北京市政府尝试在几个地区提高停车费。但是停车场的经营者则利用打折来抵消这个费用。

Empty parking lots.
空的停车场

These pictures were shot in December, at one of Beijing's most popular shopping plazas - one of the 14 trial areas to raise parking fees last April.
这些照片是12月突然出现在北京一家最出名的购物广场，该广场是去年4月份提升停车费的14个试点区之一。

Reporter: What deal can I get if I park for four hours?
记者：如果我停车4个小时要多少钱？

Operator: 25 yuan is the best I can offer.
经营者：我能提出的最低价格是25元。

But the real price should have been 40 yuan.
但是真正的价格应该是40元。

Operators say they've been forced to provide discounts. As the fees have gone up, their business and their incomes have fallen significantly.
经营者称他们被迫进行打折。由于停车费涨价，他们的生意和收入大幅度减少。

Reporter: So you're making less money?
记者：所以你们赚的更少了?

Operator: Yes. Because 20 percent of the fees go into our pockets.
经营者：是的。因为只有20%的费用进入我们的口袋。

Some experts say policy-makers are out of touch with the market.
有些专家称我们的决策者是不了解市场的。

Jia Yuanhua, Prefessor of Beijing Jiaotong University sadi "It is true that parking spaces are a public resource. But they are in most cases leased and run by contractors. So even if the government issues controlling rules, the operators may act differently to make up the loss, in their own way. Because it's their interests that are being jeopardized. "
北京交通大学Jia Yuanhua教授说：“停车位的确是一个公共资源。但是大部分情况下都是由承包商租用经营的。所以，尽管政府采取控制条例，经营者也会相应采取措施弥补这个损失。因为他们的利益受到危害。”

When Beijing decides to expand the parking fee hike to more downtown areas this year, enforcement measures will be put in place, including a hotline to report illegal discounts.
如果北京决定今年停车收费上涨扩大到更多的市区，就会落实一些强制措施，包括开通一个举报非法打折的热线。

But in the long term, many experts believe better mechanisms to distribute profits and responsibility are needed, if the move is to succeed.
但是从长远来看，很多专家相信如果希望该措施成功实施，就需要有更好的机制来分配利润和责任。
