Recently, some Xiaoshan netizens reported that they encountered the problem of difficulty in taking a taxi, usually waiting for a maximum of 5 minutes must have an online car-hailing car to arrive, and it is difficult to get a taxi in the past two days, 2 yuan, 4 yuan, 6 yuan, no one takes the order, gritting his teeth and adding it to 10 yuan, and the express car ** is multiplied by 2, and the response rate is still 33%.
Many netizens left messages that they had also encountered this situation:
Zhou Xiaoyong: "Make an appointment for an express train, arrive at Hangzhou East Railway Station tomorrow morning, three hours have passed, and there is no driver to take the order." ”
Zhang Lei: "I didn't get a taxi in 20 minutes today. ”
Is the car really that hard to fight?
On February 5, Mr. Zhang from Xiaoshan needed to set off from Xingyi Homeland at 10 a.m. and go to Qiandao Lake with his classmates. Thinking of starting at half past nine, take a taxi from Huiyu Home on Yucai Road, which is only half an hour's drive. However, when he made an appointment for an online car-hailing car, he found that no one took the order within 5 minutes after checking all the models, and finally there was a car to take the order, but he found that the online car-hailing was 8 kilometers away, Mr. Zhang was anxious, canceled the current reservation order, re-booked the online car-hailing, and finally received the online car-hailing car that arrived within 5 minutes after another 5 minutes, and finally arrived 20 minutes late.
The reporter took a taxi from Hangzhou to Xiaoshan District yesterday, ticked all the models, and after 5 minutes of waiting, there was finally an online car-hailing appointment, but it was driven from 5 kilometers away, and it took more than 10 minutes to wait.
Take a taxi to the train station and airport at least half an hour in advance
Xiang Jianfei is an online ride-hailing driver, he is from Jiaxing, plans to go home in Chinese New Year's Eve, these days at 6 o'clock in the morning, not necessarily at what time to go home in the evening, sometimes working until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning.
He said: "There are lists, one after another, but now it's not like some time ago when the platform sent to pick it up, the unit price of a fixed price is too low, and sometimes the road is closer, and you can earn a starting price." Now they are turning off the function of fixed price and selectively taking orders, which is also the reason why some passengers can't get a taxi. There are more than 50 drivers in my group, and there may be less than 10 left. I am tired all year round, take advantage of the Spring Festival to go back early to rest, now there are more passengers in the direction of the airport and the railway station, the airport is better, the distance is far, and the income is a little more. If you go in the direction of the train station, it will be difficult to get out. There are a lot of drivers who are reluctant to take orders. ”
Xiang Jianfei currently has two platforms, and the passengers who take the order basically wait for ten minutes, eight minutes is common, and even fifteen minutes, and the passengers who are too far away will take the initiative to cancel the order.
Sister Ayan, who is in her early 50s, is a member of the Blue Union Taxi Company, has been driving taxis for more than 20 years, and is now the captain of the company.
She said that taxis are not picky, and there are many foreign drivers who go home early for the New Year, resulting in a reduction in taxi capacity, and the waiting time for passengers in the past two days is longer, and there are more in the direction of the airport and railway station, and the return time plus the traffic jam time, the empty time is more than usual.
Sister A Yan reminded that now you need to call a taxi at least half an hour earlier than usual to get a taxi to the train station and airport.
