The saturation of the ride-hailing market has become a hot topic. Drivers travel 14 or 5 hours a day, but they still find it difficult to save their savings. Some drivers even have to sleep in the car for long periods of time. Why do ride-hailing drivers fall into such a predicament?What is the reason for the saturation of the ride-hailing market?
Let's take a look at this issue together. On July 21, Shanghai suspended the acceptance of online car-hailing transportation permit-related business, and the introduction of this policy is due to the saturation of the online car-hailing market. Five months later, what is the business of ride-hailing drivers?
A ride-hailing driver showed us his "home" in the car, sleeping for hours while charging for five months. He said that this will not only save on rent costs, but also improve the efficiency of getting out of the car. So why are these drivers so budget-conscious?
In fact, many ride-hailing drivers are like him, because they have to pay high vehicle rentals, they have to run desperately every day. They need to travel fifteen hours on the road, eat only two meals a day, and some drivers even sleep in the car for long periods of time. Why did they endure so much hardship?
According to the Beijing News, the saturation of the ride-hailing market is no longer an isolated case. In this market, competition is fierce and there is an oversupply of vehicles, resulting in a decline in driver income. According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2019, the transaction volume of the online car-hailing market fell by 15% year-on-year, and the profit margin continued to narrow, which made many practitioners in trouble.
In order to earn more money, they have to travel long hours on the road, even sacrificing their normal rest time. In this case, many ride-hailing drivers have to adopt various cost-saving measures in order to survive in the fierce market competition.
They choose to sleep in the car, not only to save money, but also to improve the efficiency of the car and strive for more income. Behind this, however, is a reflection of the serious consequences of the saturation of the ride-hailing market. In fact, the saturation of the ride-hailing market has not only put tremendous pressure on drivers, but also brought challenges to the entire industry.
In a highly competitive market, platforms and practitioners need to work together to find solutions. **It is also necessary to introduce more reasonable policies to provide more support and guarantee for the healthy development of the online car-hailing market. Only in this way can the online car-hailing market develop in a more healthy and orderly manner, and bring more benefits and convenience to the majority of practitioners and passengers.
Overall, the saturation of the ride-hailing market has not only had a huge impact on the lives of drivers, but also created challenges for the entire industry. We need to work together to find a more reasonable solution, so that the online car-hailing market can develop in a healthy and orderly manner, and bring more benefits and convenience to the majority of practitioners and passengers.
The hard life of ride-hailing drivers has always been talked about, and they need to sleep in the car and drive for long hours in order to make a living. These drivers work 17 hours a day and don't earn much, sometimes not even a penny.
Moreover, the online car-hailing market has been saturated, the total number of cars has increased, and the orders that can be run by each car have decreased, and drivers have to try their best to save money. In this case, they choose to sleep in the car, which is the most economical option for them. They need to save money on renting and reduce the number of empty cars, so they have to sleep in their cars.
Drivers have a difficult life and have to choose between time and money, which is worth pondering.
