TapTechNews June 21 news, today on Weibo #纯收入 300 元 after driving a ride-hailing car for 16 hours# became a hot search. As of the TapTechNews release, the related topic has a reading volume of 11.214 million and is in the fifth place of real-time hot searches.
TapTechNews learned from the top of the topic that the media Legal Daily recently conducted a survey on the current situation of ride-hailing drivers, claiming that there are quite a lot of people who drive for 14 or 15 hours a day and sleep when tired, work when awake, but after deducting the costs such as car rental fees, rent, and charging fees, the average monthly income of drivers is between $900 and $1200 (approximate conversion), and it is less than $2.25 (approximate conversion) to earn per kilometer.
A Beijing driver Mr. Zheng disclosed that he works 16 hours a day. On June 7, for example, he went out to eat breakfast at 6 am and then went online on a certain ride-hailing platform, and since then he has been in the car and never stopped accepting orders. At 11 pm that night, he ended his one-day ride-hailing work, and by the time he finished dealing with family affairs, washed up and went to bed, it was already one or two in the morning, and after four or five hours, he had to get up and start working again.
It is known that Mr. Zheng's income on June 7 is more than $120 (approximate conversion), and after deducting the cost of that day, the net income is approximately $45 (approximate conversion), and the highest income order of that day is for a passenger from Qinghe Town, Haidian District to Songjiazhuang, Fengtai District, and the fare is more than $12 (approximate conversion).
In terms of costs, $120 (approximate conversion) for the rented house per month, $135 (approximate conversion) for utilities, $7500 (approximate conversion) for the car rental fee per year, $21-22.5 (approximate conversion) for the daily fuel cost; $12 (approximate conversion) for daily food/cigarette money, $6 (approximate conversion) for insurance/maintenance, and the averaged cost to each day is approximately $75 (approximate conversion).
Mr. Zheng said that every day as soon as he opens his eyes, he has to earn out these $75 (approximate conversion) first, and the extra part is his own. Even if he earns $100-105 (approximate conversion) in income for a dozen or so hours of driving a day, he only earns $25-30 (approximate conversion). In this situation, even on days with traffic restrictions, he would rather pay the fine and insist on going out on the road. If you don't go out on the road for one day, not only there is no income, but also the $75 (approximate conversion) living cost has no着落.
