It's the end of 2023, do you know how many ride-hailing drivers there are?According to the Gelonghui data report, as of October this year, the number of online ride-hailing drivers has increased to 63340,000, compared to 289 at the end of 202010,000 people, a surge of 119%, more than doubled!
What an exaggerated number!
In stark contrast, the average daily number of orders received by online ride-hailing drivers has increased from 23 at the end of 2020 to less than 10 orders per day now. 23 orders compared to 10 orders, it is also more than double, but it is the other way around, this proportion of data is really interesting.
In the face of the vicious circle of the overcrowded online car-hailing capacity market, drivers who can't receive orders, and platforms with increasingly fierce competition, the transportation bureaus of various cities can only step forward and manually press the pause button. From the beginning of this year to the present, Shanghai, Sanya, Jinan, Changsha and other places have successively announced the suspension of the acceptance of online car-hailing business licenses and the issuance of transportation licenses.
These cities, which were originally located in the center of the ride-hailing industry, are also unavoidable, and even the competition is more serious than that of third- and fourth-tier cities. This year, there are many hot words and headlines in online car-hailing, and they are on the hot search at every turn, either to say that the online car-hailing driver has the longest time, or that the driver can earn less than 200 yuan for more than ten hours of running a car.
All the points are to one conclusion: you really can't make money by running online car-hailing.
Thinking about the overall situation, the current shared travel industry is very much like a bottom line for the society, on the one hand, complaining that there are more and more drivers and can't eat, and on the other hand, it continues to absorb unemployed people in the society. In the current environment, how many young people who have been laid off, unemployed, and unable to find a job have the best choice is to run online car-hailing or food delivery.
Now, in order to curb this momentum, most cities have begun to strictly apply for compliance certificates, supplemented by strict investigation of non-compliant online car-hailing drivers, thinking that everything will be fine, and the rest will be left to the market to regulate freely. However, this is not a cure for the symptoms, and the root cause is that the constraints on online ride-hailing platforms are not strong enough.
The limitations of the upside, and the growing number of people at the bottom, have given birth to countless industry chaos, and batches of drivers continue to pour in, in the eyes of many people, are tender and delicious leeks, counting on their deposits and car rentals to live.
In addition, there are no perfect regulations for the online car-hailing industry, and almost every relevant clause in the contract between the driver and the car rental company is buried, and the purpose of each pit is to get the driver's hair. The deceived driver has no way to complain, and there is nowhere to sue.
