This golden autumn National Day holiday, the hot scene of the hitchhiking market is eye-catching, the drivers' mobile phones keep ringing, the sound of receiving orders comes and goes, it seems to be pushed by an invisible force, everyone is vying to seize the opportunity to travel during this time, many drivers sigh, such days are really long-lost, the list is like a tide, which is exciting
A hitchhiking driver in Hangzhou, in recent days to receive orders made him excited, his orders from September 28 began to increase, almost every day can see new passengers appointments, his mobile phone screen shows a line of orders, all are long-distance and exclusive, he secretly rejoiced, finally ushered in the most profitable moment of the year, communication with passengers has become more and more smooth, everyone is willing to take the initiative to discuss the cost, even at the expense of increasing the price to ensure a smooth ride
And Guangzhou driver Xiao Liu, feel the same strong, he travels between Guangzhou and Qingyuan, almost every day can receive several high-priced orders, passengers seem to be less sensitive to price, willing to pay more for the convenience of hitchhiking, although the National Day high-speed free, but the traffic jam on the road is annoying, Xiao Liu sighed: "can earn this money, but traffic jams are also a big test,
Hitchhikers are hot, not only the drivers feast, the passengers' demand is also strong, a part-time worker, because the high-speed rail tickets are sold out, can only choose hitchhiking, his hometown Shanwei, usually only 110 yuan to go home, but during the National Day, the price soared to nearly 200 yuan, he understands in his heart that although the hitchhiker is expensive, but it is the only choice, the price of the passengers abound during this holiday, for fear of missing this rare opportunity
In this hot market environment, the major hitchhiking platforms have also launched a variety of preferential activities to attract more passengers, Hello Hitch fare increases, along with additional subsidies for each order, so that the drivers' income has risen sharply, Didi Hitch "6 orders 300 yuan" reward activities, so that drivers rush to participate in it, so that the activity not only enhances the enthusiasm of drivers, but also makes passengers feel the convenience and affordability of hitchhiking
There are also hidden risks behind the hot market, drivers are well aware that high returns come with high risks, once they encounter a car inspection, they may face penalties, and traffic accidents may lead to the dilemma of insurance companies refusing to pay, these hidden dangers make some drivers worried, despite the enthusiasm for taking orders, but always be vigilant
On the first day of the National Day, the market feedback is very exciting, the surge in orders makes the drivers seem to have a good income, but the long-distance traffic jam has become a reality that cannot be ignored, many drivers run for hours on the road, but may not be able to reach the destination smoothly, fatigue and income comparison make them have to rethink the meaning of taking orders
This special holiday, the demand for passengers is in stark contrast to the supply of drivers, in the past, it was the drivers who actively sought out passengers, but now it is the passengers who take the initiative to contact the drivers, and even do not hesitate to increase the price for a smooth trip, this shift has made the entire rideshare market vibrant, but also made some drivers feel stressed
For many drivers, business is an important part of their income throughout the year, and despite the many challenges they face, they still don't want to miss this Golden Week, and every successful order is a recognition of their hard work, although they understand that this excitement will not last long
The mentality of the drivers has also quietly changed, in the face of sudden orders, they are sometimes excited, for fear of missing any opportunity, for passengers, this holiday is a rare travel experience, everyone chooses to hitchhike, but also for their own travel safety and comfort
The future market trend is still full of uncertainty, with the arrival of the return peak, whether it can maintain such prosperity, has become the question in the minds of many drivers and passengers, although the current hitchhiking market is outstanding, but everyone is thinking, how to enjoy the convenience at the same time, to avoid potential risks
During this period of National Day holiday, both drivers and passengers have left their own stories in the hitchhiking journey, every order, every trip, carry people's expectations and wishes, although market fluctuations are unpredictable, but for every participant, this is an unforgettable experience
How will the changes in the hitchhiking market develop, it is worth everyone's attention and thinking, this holiday is hot, maybe just a beginning, and the real challenges and opportunities, but also in how to balance benefits and risks, everyone in this busy season, together weaving travel stories, looking forward to the next encounter
In the process of Xiao Li's order, he gradually figured out some tricks, he began to take the initiative to promote his hitchhiking service on social platforms to attract more passengers, and in his circle of friends, from time to time there will be passenger praise and feedback, which have won him more trust, passengers saw his efforts, and took the initiative to contact him to ask if he could take a ride along the way, so that the interaction not only increased Xiao Li's order volume, but also made him feel a sense of achievement
Xiao Liu took another strategy, taking the initiative to ask passengers about the itinerary, and flexibly adjust their routes according to their needs, passengers not only feel valued, but also willing to pay extra for this intimate service, Xiao Liu's business is getting more and more prosperous, his car is often full of passengers looking forward to traveling, the atmosphere in the car is relaxed and happy, everyone shares their travel plans, as if the car is not only a means of transportation, but also a small communication platform
In this special holiday, the needs of passengers are becoming more and more diverse, and some passengers want to enjoy the scenery and fun on the way; In the face of different needs, drivers are constantly adjusting their service methods to meet the expectations of passengers, and the flexibility of drivers makes passengers feel at ease and are willing to pay more for this high-quality service
With the increase in orders, the hitchhiking platform subsidy activities have also sprung up, passengers enjoy a variety of discounts, and drivers get higher income in these activities, Haro and Didi and other platform subsidy policies, so that each single profit is increasing, drivers have shared their "order secrets", so that more people join the ranks
The hot market also makes some drivers feel anxious, behind the high returns, is a long time to wait and rush, despite the high frequency of orders, but long-distance traffic jams and unpredictable road conditions make many drivers feel tired, Xiao Li and Xiao Liu have suffered several serious traffic jams on the road, resulting in their trips being forced to delay, although passengers understand, but it is always difficult for drivers to balance this benefit and pay relationship
After a period of high-intensity orders, Xiao Li felt a little tired, although the income was considerable, but the long-term high-intensity work made him physically and mentally exhausted, he began to think about whether he should find a way to balance his busy work, appropriate rest and adjustment, so that he can better cope with market changes in the next days
Xiao Liu chose another way to cope with the pressure, he began to communicate with other drivers, sharing their experiences and experiences, through this exchange, he not only got more information, but also met some like-minded friends, everyone helped each other, and faced the challenges of the market together, this team spirit made Xiao Liu feel warm, but also let him find a sense of belonging in this highly competitive environment
The end of the National Day holiday seems to be quietly approaching, drivers and passengers are faintly feeling a trace of uneasiness in their hearts, many drivers began to think, how to maintain a stable number of orders after the end of this holiday, passengers are also considering, after the end of the holiday, whether they can still find a suitable hitchhike to travel, this holiday brings a hot atmosphere, will it dissipate with the passage of time?
Drivers began to realize that a single holiday boom alone could not sustain a long-term livelihood, and both Li and Liu thought about how to attract more passengers by improving the quality of service, and they began to pay attention to the cleanliness of the interior of the car, as much as possible to provide passengers with a more comfortable riding experience, and they would communicate with passengers in advance to understand their needs in order to provide more personalized service
With the end of the National Day holiday, the changes in the hitchhiking market began to appear, the demand for passengers gradually decreased, and the number of orders received by drivers also declined
In response to market changes, Xiao Li and Xiao Liu began to explore new ways to travel, they actively participated in online activities, enhanced their popularity, and strived to stand out in the fierce market competition. Xiao Liu joined the local driver exchange group to exchange experiences and find new market opportunities together
In the process, the mentality of drivers is also changing, and in the face of market fluctuations, they gradually learn to adjust their expectations, although the income has decreased, everyone understands that this is just a normal market fluctuation, and they are starting to pay more attention to the quality of service in order to win more trust from passengers in the future
Although the National Day holiday boom has passed, the rideshare market is still full of opportunities and challenges, and drivers have gained valuable experience and established deep friendships in the process, and each participant has grown and gradually adapted to market changes in the process
Where the future will be is still unknown, whether it is drivers or passengers, everyone is constantly exploring on this travel road, looking forward to the arrival of the next spring, the hitchhiking market story continues, and every participant adds a wonderful stroke to their journey
In this market full of variables, who can be invincible in the future competition, is still a suspense, no matter what the result, everyone's efforts and persistence, is worth remembering, I hope that every driver and passenger, can find their own direction on this road
