According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Transport yesterday, as of May 31, 2024, the number of drivers who have obtained online car-hailing qualification certificates has exceeded 7 million.
According to data from the Ministry of Transport, as of May 31, 351 online car-hailing platforms across the country have obtained business licenses, an increase of 2 from the previous month, the number of platforms continues to grow, and the number of drivers with personal ID cards is also increasing, and at first glance the industry is actually booming.
However, due to the constraints of supervision, regulations, and regulations, the degree of legalization of the online car-hailing industry is actually not high, and some behaviors that take advantage of the loopholes in offline regulatory regulations have emerged in an endless stream, and resale orders, yin and yang bills, license plate leasing, license plate trading, etc. have been continuously exposed.
Especially after the aggregation platform emerged, a number of unknown small platforms began to emerge collectively, and the phenomenon of opening the city on a platform began to appear in many cities every week, but the problem also began to be exposed, some small platforms do not have offline service capabilities, and they opened the city after finding a local leasing company to cooperate with the land license, and the passengers and staff who could not find the platform could not even get through the customer service phone when there was a problem. There are also small platforms that directly lease their licenses to some companies that have not obtained licenses from the Ministry of Transport to earn license rental income.
In fact, all kinds of chaos in the online car-hailing industry are based on the trend of the industry's order flow beginning to change from centralized to decentralized and diversified, and the aggregation platform relies on low prices to cater to the changes in passengers' consumption habits and quickly out of the circle, and finally becomes a safe haven for a number of small platforms, under the protection of the aggregation platform, the small platform no longer has to participate in the cruel market competition, and survives by relying on the traffic distribution of the aggregation platform.
There is the protection of the aggregation platform, but also indirectly let many small platforms begin to lie flat, and more and more problems have been exposed, recently a driver broke the news, the Changchun Municipal Transportation Bureau recently held a special rectification work promotion meeting for the Changchun online car-hailing industry.
It is reported that the meeting informed the local online car-hailing compliance situation in Changchun, and at the same time made a notice of the proposed withdrawal of 25 local online car-hailing platforms, requiring all online car-hailing platforms to complete the clearance of non-compliant capacity within three months from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024.
Changchun City's heavy blow can be said to have a very big purification effect on the rectification of the local online car-hailing market, the current online car-hailing industry is seriously involuted, its essence is still too many platforms, the total number of orders in the market is limited, in order to compete for orders between the platforms to fight a price war between each other, not only hurt the interests of online car-hailing drivers, but also hurt the interests of taxi drivers.
Therefore, the Changchun Municipal Transportation Bureau's approach has a certain positive significance for the entire industry, and only by cleaning up the unruly platforms can the online car-hailing industry develop healthily and the interests of drivers be guaranteed.
25 online car-hailing platforms in Changchun City are about to be cleared, and online car-hailing drivers should also pay attention to timely withdrawals and pay attention to the latest developments of the platform at any time!
