Taxi strikes have occurred one after another. Whose cheese has been moved by the private car service?

Recently, taxi drivers in Shenyang, Dongyang and other cities have been on strike, and many taxi suspension incidents have occurred across the country. Xiangzi has been absent from work frequently. In a way of self-mutilation, he has given a shot to the taxi companies - I will not go out to make money, and I will sit and starve.

The fuse of this incident was the proliferation of "black taxis" and the occupation of the market by "private cars". Why is it called a fuse? It's like Japan wanted to attack China, and the fuse of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident was just an excuse for it.

In fact, taxi drivers have long been fed up with taxi companies, which have been charging high "shares" for many years and monopolizing the industry. "Shares" account for more than half of the total income. What grudge do you have against me that you charge me so much?

But the unspoken rules of this industry are hard to break. If you don't want to drive a taxi, no one forces you to do it. Don't drive! Or you can set up a taxi company yourself, but the high threshold of the industry leads to industry monopoly.

In the past, although taxi drivers had to pay a "share of money", they could still make a net profit of about 10,000 yuan a month, so taxi drivers endured it. In fact, it was not the "private cars" or "black cars" that caused the anger and dissatisfaction of taxi drivers and robbed their business.

Here are some of the taxi drivers' complaints:

1. The contribution is too high:

In addition to paying membership fees every month, taxi drivers also have to pay insurance premiums, maintenance fees, and fines for violations, which are all personal responsibilities. Taxi companies do not care and directly transfer the costs to drivers. Drivers are forced to accept this unequal game rule and have no choice but to transfer the survival pressure to passengers, increase their income by refusing to pick up passengers, taking detours, etc., resulting in chaos in the entire taxi market.

2. High-spec taxi logo:

The taxi logo is equivalent to the vehicle's operating license, just like the route operating rights of a bus. Without it, it is an illegal taxi.

Due to the strict control of the number of taxis, the price of taxis has skyrocketed in recent years. In Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the price of taxis has soared from 200,000 to 1.26 million, and in Shenyang, the price of taxis has also soared to 600,000. And these bad consequences are ultimately shared by taxi drivers who have no "bargaining power". The hard-working taxi drivers have become lambs to be slaughtered.

3. The one-yuan surcharge has been cancelled, reducing drivers’ profit points.

4. Black taxis steal business:

Rather than saying that they have seized the market, it is better to say that the taxi drivers are feeling unbalanced. Why do we have to pay membership fees, but they don't? We all have to pass the "Taxi Driver Qualification Certificate" and our vehicles must have a "Taxi Vehicle Operation Certificate", but they don't need to do anything, they just drive their private cars and grab the business, and their monthly income easily exceeds 10,000 yuan. This is unfair.

The taxi driver didn't mean to say that I was suppressing private cars, but could we not pay the membership fee? ! !

But we need to see: Whose cheese is being disturbed by the private car service? The private car service touches the interests of the taxi companies, and the taxi companies are monopolized by the government! It directly affects the interests of taxi drivers. It is simply digging into the grave of Tai Sui Ye!

But this is not the original intention of Internet companies to provide private car services. Since last year, Didi Private Car, No. 1 Private Car, Yidao Yongche, AA Car Rental, Uber and other Internet and mobile car rental software have gradually emerged and become popular. The purpose of Internet companies' private car services is to seize the entrance to the mobile Internet and ensure their own position in mobile payment.

The current situation is: After Shanghai stopped the use of private cars, Shenyang and Beijing also stopped the use of private cars. Since January this year, the Beijing Municipal Traffic Law Enforcement Corps has begun to vigorously crack down on social vehicles that use the Internet and mobile phone software to engage in illegal operations.

The expected development trends in the future are:

1. Special car operators: cooperate with regular car rental companies to provide open, transparent and compliant travel services. Control the behavior of private cars and social vehicles registered under the name of car rental companies.

2. Government departments: The government should pay attention to the way of supervision, such as opening up the franchise market, formulating unified industry rules, and incorporating these transport capacities into the urban transportation service system, rather than simply setting the so-called "qualification certification" threshold.

3. Taxi companies: Improve management methods, reduce the price of "share money" and "car logos", and provide more benefits to taxi drivers.

4. Taxi drivers: For taxi drivers, private cars may not be their opponents, but may become their helpers. With the emergence of private cars, traditional taxi companies that have monopolized the market for many years will face real challenges from the market, and the situation of just sitting back and waiting to collect rent may also change.
