In July this year, Shanghai announced that it would suspend the application.
Business related to online car-hailing transportation certificates.
So 5 months later, how is the business of ride-hailing drivers?
Recently, Xiaofang's colleague was in the early hours of the morning.
With a Didi driver sleeping in the car.
Chatted. He brought his own bedding and slept in the car for five months.
Fourteen or fifteen hours a day.
but they can't save money."
Take advantage of the charging time to sleep for a few hours in the car.
It's been up to 5 months.
At three o'clock in the morning, in the underground garage of an office building in Pudong, Shanghai, 34-year-old online car-hailing driver Lei Zi showed reporters his "equipment": sleeping quilts, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc.
Leizi said that there is hot water near the charging piles in most suburbs, and you can wash your feet and clothes with a folding basin, which is more practical and does not take up space.
After finishing work every day, Leizi found a charging station, and while he was charging, he slept in the car for a few hours. Five months have passed since Leizi had such days.
Why sleep in the car?Leizi said that it is still to save the daily cost of living, not only to save some rent, but also to improve the efficiency of the car. If the rented house is in Pudong and you get an order to go to Hongqiao, it will take time to go home and run empty.
Run 15 hours a day on the road.
Earn more than 400 a day.
Only when you are sick do you dare to rest for half a day.
Why be so budget-conscious?In fact, many online car-hailing drivers are the same as Leizi, the car is rented, and every day when they open their eyes, they owe the car rental company 350 yuan in rental fees, and they have to run desperately to save a little money for themselves. "If you earn 350 car rental fees a day, you have to spend at least 8 hours, that is, the next 8 hours are earned for yourself. ”
Taking November 1 as an example, the total turnover of the Leizi sports car was 833 yuan, and the last one that could go into his pocket was about 400 yuan, and how long did he drive the car on this day?
I finish work at two o'clock in the morning, charge for an hour and a half, sleep until half past eight to start work, and basically be on the road the rest of the time, only eating two meals a day. "I run 15 hours a day, charge for 3 hours, and work 18 hours a day. Nearly three o'clock to eight thirty-past five hours of sleeping, like this, I nearly earn more than 400 a day. ”
Leizi said that except for being sick, he opened it every day. One day he only had more than 100 pieces of water, because he had gout that day, and his legs were so swollen that he couldn't walk, but he only dared to rest for half a day.
It was not only Leizi who slept in the car, the reporter found that a female online car-hailing driver was also asleep in another car opposite, and she said that she also used the charging time to sleep. When asked if she could save money, the female driver shook her head in silence.
Some of the masters are thinking about escaping.
I won't do it until the New Year.
In July this year, the Municipal Road Transport Bureau released data: about 7 online car-hailing vehicles with vehicle transportation certificates in Shanghai are available60,000 vehicles, 50,000 cruise cars, the online car-hailing market capacity has been saturated, the total number of cars is more, and the orders that each car can run are less.
If you can save some money, you can save a little. On the road with empty cars, there will be less if you can. Sleeping in a car is the most economical option for these drivers.
Driver: "Sometimes for example, if you live in Qingpu, you may be in Baoshan or Waigaoqiao at night**, fifty or sixty kilometers away from home, and you have to run for an hour to go back, and you feel that you can't row." ”
Driver: "I'm tired, I drove for 18 hours that day to get 600 yuan, which means that I didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't wash my face, and didn't have access to the toilet." ”
Driver: "Calculated every day, it's basically more than 200 shares, plus the cost of charging is basically about 300, almost can't save money, barely make ends meet." ”
As for how long you plan to run on the road like this?
Some drivers said they couldn't stay up.
Driver: "There is no time to pave on the road, how can there be money to earn, really, it is to rely on time for money, remove the gas money, and actually get more than 5,000 a month, now the child has a week 1,600, I have to rely on the elderly at home to subsidize, I still have a million loans." ”
Driver: "One day."
I can't run for six or seven hundred yuan, so I have to drive.
Ten. Five or six hours, at the end of the year, when the contract expires, I will return the car. ”
Driver: I may not do it until the Chinese New Year, I am ready to go back to make dim sum. ”
In this regard, many netizens said.
The reality is helpless, but health is precious.
