Ride-hailing drivers often need to put in a lot of effort and time, starting from early in the morning until late at night, and some drivers even give up their normal daily routines in order to earn a few more dollars. Behind this effort, it is to earn more money every day, because they know that the more time they earn, the more time they earn, is truly their own.
Despite their daily hard work, the net income of drivers is not ideal due to market competition and the saturation of the number of ride-hailing services. A driver in Shanghai shared that he worked nearly 18 hours a day, and in the end he was able to earn a net income of only about 400 yuan. Whether this is a small profit or too much blood loss makes people think deeply.
Livelihood issues have always been on the minds of ride-hailing drivers. Some people are burdened with heavy loans and have to work harder to pay off their debts. The saturation of the ride-hailing market has led to a gradual decrease in the number of orders per vehicle, which has also increased the financial pressure on drivers.
As the ride-hailing market continues to saturate, the future of drivers becomes more uncertain. Some believe that the ride-hailing industry may gradually decline, while drivers are planning to return to their hometowns in search of new livelihoods. This situation has also raised doubts about the sustainability of the ride-hailing industry.
Despite the pressure, the drivers are still looking forward to their New Year's wishes. After exhausting work, they still worked hard for their livelihood, and at the same time sent good wishes for the New Year.
