Some taxis would rather go into town empty than pull people on the way, do you know why?

I often hear some neighbors in my hometown boasting: "I went to the city today, luck is good, I took a taxi along the way, ** cheaper than the bus, only paid 10 yuan for the driver, or a chartered car, and not crowded, the same is to send me to the bus station, the driver is also happy, after all, he sent people back to the city with an empty car, 10 yuan is enough for his tolls, one is counted as one, and the empty car is also returned without carrying people!" Some taxis would rather go into town empty than pull people on the way, do you know why?

Some taxis would rather go into town empty, rather than pull people on the way.

We all know that taxis generally run in the city, but often encounter some chartered passengers to go to the countryside, in this case, the driver master will definitely calculate the loss of the return trip, for example, usually play the meter for 40 yuan**At this time, the taxi driver will generally charge about 80 yuan**, because only in this way will they not lose the time of the return trip in vain.

You know why?

Drivers are reluctant to break the principle, even if the return trip is empty, even if the price is reduced, there must be a scale, and it is impossible to reduce the price unprincipledly. That is to say, it is inevitable to reduce the price of empty cars on the return trip, but there must be a degree, and this degree cannot be broken, which is a principled problem of the driver's psychology. When such principles are broken, vicious competition will be formed, which is detrimental to everyone.

For example, some products in the market, even if the best sales period has passed, the vendors do not return to unprincipled price reduction, and sometimes they would rather dispose of it as garbage than break the rules. On the one hand, the formation of such rules is customary, and once someone breaks it, it will be blamed and excluded by peers, which is an invisible binding force.

So, there are a lot of problems in business, and it's not that simple. Suppose it costs 50 yuan to rent the whole process, and now some customers say that you want to go into the city anyway, and 10 yuan will pull me over, which is better than running empty. After the customer tasted the sweetness, he still hoped to make a deal for ten yuan when he took the car again, otherwise he would rather not take it.

Because taxi drivers don't want to mess up, because passengers ask for less than a little, but a lot, and would rather be lacking than excessive.

Because no one knows whether these people on the road are good people, if these people are bandits, then the gains outweigh the losses for this taxi driver, not only do they not earn money, but they will be robbed by others.

I know that they also have certain rules and regulations when they operate, and there are a lot of private cars nowadays, and they generally don't pull other people on the road for unnecessary trouble.

Because you may not meet a single customer when you walk around the street for half a day, you will waste gasoline in vain. Everyone should know that in today's Internet platform, there are very many online car-hailing drivers, just as many as taxis on the street. For different customers, compared with taxis and online car-hailing, he must be more willing to place orders on his mobile phone, because when he goes out, he can see the car he has booked, isn't it very convenient?

But for the driver, not all orders are acceptable, and some short-range orders are cancelled directly, because they are not profitable, and they also consume gasoline. This is why taxi drivers would rather wait in line at the station than go to the street to attract customers, the main reason is of course because of the cost, maybe in the middle of the night on the street for a night can not pull a customer. But there are a lot of people who go to the station in the middle of the night, whether it's the train station or the airportAnyway, there will definitely be a large number of customers, and taxi drivers will definitely have a large order as long as they wait in line at the station for several hours.

Compared to waiting for customers in the car, this taxi driver will definitely suffer a loss for strolling on the street at night, and few people are willing to go out at night, let alone not driving yet. Because there are too many safety accidents in taking a taxi at nightWhen I went on a tour some time ago, I left the airport at one o'clock in the evening, and I preferred the latter to the driver who pulled people and the driver who queued up at the airport.

Everyone knows that people who come out of the station need a car, so this is also the reason why taxi drivers would rather wait in line at the station.

Because of soliciting passengers at the station, the passenger flow is large, and the distance is generally far away.

Or because of the large amount of ** at the station, there is no shortage of business to do.

Because taxis do not lack passengers, and many people recognize them.

The passenger flow of the station is relatively large. They move very fast.

Because now passengers don't like to solicit customers in their hearts.

Because the distance traveled by people at the station is generally relatively far.
