Netizens, have you ever experienced such a thing: for the same distance, a taxi charges 80 yuan, while online car-hailing only costs 40 yuan? According to people's attention reports, recently, a female college student in Jinan, Shandong Province complained about her personal experience on social **, which aroused heated discussions from all parties.
About this, IMHO. First of all, we almost always default to the fairness of tolls. In fact, the ** of taxis did not fall from the sky, but was formed under the influence of many factors.
If you think taxi fares are too high, then let's discuss why online ride-hailing is so low. Is it because of the poor quality of service provided by the drivers? Definitely not.
It's because there are some giant companies that use their huge capital reserves to reduce the direct cost to consumers through subsidies and other means. But can this phenomenon be sustained? The answer is no. The subsidy policy cannot be sustained, and when the company burns out of money, it will rebound normally, or even.
I believe everyone already knows the remarks of this female college student. However, overnight, the controversy escalated from a dispute between a female college student and a taxi company to a collective ** in the taxi industry. And the statements of the taxi drivers also made us re-examine the essence of the matter.
Some may think that she is right, but that is the reality. It is true that there is a gap between taxis and online car-hailing, but taxis in history have still given us a lot of convenience. The meaning of its existence is not to be a monopoly and greedy for huge profits, but to solve the problem of transportation and make contributions to society. The truth of the matter is not simply right or wrong, but a deeper understanding and thinking about the social and economic system.
The difference between online car-hailing and taxis actually reflects to a certain extent the reciprocity and unequality, fairness and unfairness in the current society. We should see that the final payer of any subsidy and war is the consumer himself.
Finally, I would like to say that subsidies and wars are a way of commercial competition, but sometimes it may bring short-term pleasure, but the long-term effect may not be good. For this matter, I hope that the relevant departments can investigate responsibly, find out the truth, and make fair judgments to ensure the fairness of the industry and the health and stability of the market. And we should also take responsibility for our own choices and treat them rationally, rather than blindly pursuing cheapness.
