You can carpool by Ride. Then, can you also reduce the cost of using cars by carpooling? The reporter learned yesterday that from now on, users in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other cities only need to choose the “express carpool” function, and the fare can be as low as 60%.
On last December, “Express carpool” was launched in 15 cities including Beijing and Hangzhou. As a typical representative of sharing economy, it uses big data algorithm to instantly match passengers with similar routes and the same direction to help passengers carpool and share the cost. Passengers can enjoy more favorable prices than express cars by using “express carpool”, while car owners can get higher incomes.
The reporter learned that, unlike Express, Express carpool is billed at a fixed price. Passengers who choose “express carpool” need to enter the departure and destination accurately, and cannot change after issuing the order. The system will calculate the travel price based on these information. No matter whether someone carpool or not during the trip, passengers can enjoy a “fixed price” lower than the ordinary Express, and there is no need to pay extra fees even if there is a traffic jam. In addition, after successfully meeting pailyou, passengers can also receive red envelopes ranging from 1 yuan to 2 yuan to deduct the bicycle fee. According to Didi platform data, passengers can save up to 60% of the cost by using “express carpool. In terms of car owners, the average number of completed orders per hour has increased by 20%, and the average coincidence degree of the current carpool path has reached 75%, the income of car owners receiving carpooling orders can be increased by more than 30% compared with before.
However, Fuzhou consumers and Fuzhou car owners still have higher benefits. It is reported that in addition to “express carpool”, the upgraded version of “serial carpool” is also launched in Fuzhou. At present, “serial fight” is only opened during the peak period of traffic. During the peak traffic period, passengers will have the opportunity to experience the “chain fight” by using the “express carpool”. The “Serial fight” can match up to two groups of passengers, that is, a group of passengers will “meet” up to two groups of passengers before arriving at the destination, with a maximum of two passengers in each group. In addition, “serial fight” has further increased the income of car owners. For car owners, as long as they are driving a carpool order, there are still empty seats on the car and they have the opportunity to receive the order. “After the serial fight was started, the income of car owners increased by 10% again.” Sun Shu, head of Didi Express operation, said.
