Clear mark up vs random mark up

How difficult is it to take a taxi during the Spring Festival? The analysis report on the difficulty of taking a taxi in 2019 jointly released by Gaode map and the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences finds out the ten most difficult days of taking a taxi in 2019, which are basically holidays. Among them, the Spring Festival is the most, with a total of 6 days.

Gaode map big data analysts believe that the demand for travel on holidays is concentrated, there are many people and roads are congested. In addition, some online car Hailing drivers choose to rest on holidays, resulting in short supply and difficulty in taking a taxi.

According to the relevant person in charge of Zhuhai Transportation Bureau, during the Spring Festival every year, affected by the relationship between supply and demand, a considerable number of industries have the practice of charging additional fees. Civil aviation, railway (except high-speed railway) and road passenger transportation, which belong to the same field of transportation, have launched the freight rate floating mechanism during the Spring Festival every year, so the price is also higher than that in daily life.

Xia Yingchun, deputy director of Huai'an Transportation Bureau, said in response to the price increase during the Spring Festival, "the price may increase some burdens on the masses, but during the Spring Festival, price adjustment will occur in many industries, and taxis maintain a price for a long time, resulting in their transport capacity not being able to meet the needs of the masses."

There are fewer taxi drivers working on the road during the Spring Festival holiday. There are more phenomena such as unable to get a taxi, refusing to load, detour and arbitrary charging than usual. The "black car" drivers often "embrace business opportunities" at this time. The relevant person in charge of Zhuhai Transportation Bureau said that the solidification of taxi freight rate is an important reason. The trial implementation of the freight rate floating policy can reduce such violations to a certain extent and avoid contradictions between drivers and passengers.

According to dongfang.com, most Zhuhai citizens understand the price adjustment of taxis during the Spring Festival. Many people have shown understanding and tolerance and believe that the 'price increase' during the Spring Festival is an affirmation and respect for the labor paid by taxi drivers during the festival.
