Transportation Department of Taiyuan City announced that up to now, there are a total of 80 online car-hailing platform companies that have obtained operating licenses in the city, issuing over 36,000 "Network Reservation Taxi Transport Certificates" and over 36,000 "Network Reservation Taxi Driver Certificates". There are an average of 18,000 operating vehicles per day, with an average daily order volume of less than 12 orders per vehicle and an average daily turnover of about 160 yuan. Approximately 75% of drivers who operate for over 8 hours a day have a daily turnover of less than 200 yuan. Risk warning: Be cautious about entering the online car-hailing market. Currently, the "bus + rail" service in Taiyuan City is continuously improving and enhancing its service capacity. The competition in the taxi industry is fierce, and the online car-hailing market capacity is approaching saturation, leading to a decreasing trend in daily income. Those who are interested in entering the online car-hailing business should fully understand the current market situation, consider factors such as vehicle depreciation, operational costs, insurance expenses, scrap limits, and expected income, reasonably evaluate the operating risks, avoid blindly entering the online car-hailing market, and prevent unnecessary economic losses, conflicts, or income expectation gaps. It is important to carefully make investment and career choices.
