is affected by the epidemic, causing the online car-hailing industry to press the slow travel button or even the pause button. Platforms such as Yihe Shunfeng Travel, T3 Travel and Meituan Taxi are also facing the pressure of reducing orders, and the significant reduction in the number of orders received has also directly led to a halving of the revenue of online car-hailing drivers.
1. Young people are increasingly disliked to go online car-hailing
"If it is not a last resort, don't go online car-hailing!" has withdrawn online car-hailing. Master Zhao, who went home to take over his old father's taxi, told the new financial reporter, "Isn't it recently? Is there any news that driverless taxis need to be realized? Live people should not do this."
Master Zhao is a local from Tianjin. Before he went home to drive a taxi, he drove online car-hailing for three years, and the platform has done it from Didi to Cao Cao. Master Zhao made some calculations for the reporter with his personal experience, proving that online ride-hailing drivers are "difficulty in making money".
"In the past, when I drove an online car-hailing car, I could take my time and go from 9 to 6 a day, but now I have to run. Basically, I have to come out at 6 a.m., and then drive until 10 a.m., and go home and sleep for a while. I usually have to drive until 12 a.m. at night to collect. But even if I run for 13 hours a day, I only have to run for four or five hundred a.m., and I actually get only seven or eight thousand, but this is still It was the result of me having to rest for two days a month and working more than 10 hours a day. "
He also said that this is already a "common situation" in this "industry". For example, Master Huang, whom he knew, has been running online for six years. At the beginning, he and his son could basically earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. However, the overall environment was not good, and his son also found a job again, so he basically ran alone now, but even if he ran for more than ten hours a day, he could earn up to 8,000 yuan a month.
In addition, many young drivers also said that online car-hailing is becoming increasingly unable to continue running, most of the reasons are that "the platform does not work as a person, the overall environment is bad, and customer service is the same as it does not exist."
2. The online car-hailing industry is thriving
Compared with the miserable life of drivers, the online car-hailing industry is developing more and more prosperous, and financing news continues to spread. First, Cao Cao Travel , it was rumored to be listed in Hong Kong as soon as next year, and then in October 2021, T3 Travel received a round A financing of 7.7 billion yuan.
is constantly financing, and more and more contestants are rushing to enter this track. For example, Baidu , which had nothing to do with cars before, has begun to study unmanned taxis in recent years. Huawei , which is good at making mobile phones and various electronic products, has also begun to learn how to take taxis and launch its own aggregation platform. In addition, as early as March this year, Tencent 's taxi service has also been quietly launched, and it is said that it has covered more than 100 cities across the country.
Of course, the platform is developing rapidly, and there are many problems behind it. In August 2022, the transportation agency interviewed 11 platforms including T3 Travel, Cao Cao Travel, Didi and Yihe Hitchhiking on the platform compliance issue. In other words, the primary issue is to go further and solve its own problems.
