Industry background of taxi software
As of May 7, 20 13, the total download volume of taxi software clients in Android platform1/mainstream application stores has exceeded one million, and users are mainly concentrated in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang. Because of the information asymmetry between taxi drivers and taxi drivers, taxis are empty during off-peak hours.
Drivers refuse to take taxis frequently during rush hours and bad weather, and mobile phone taxi software increases the chances of successful taxis by increasing the price, achieving a win-win situation for drivers and taxi drivers, so it is becoming more and more popular in big cities.
Mobile phone taxi software is in the initial exploration stage, and the business model is still unclear, resulting in high operating costs. Especially because the taxi market is not standardized, the fare increase strategy intensifies the contradiction of the original public transport resource allocation to a certain extent, disturbs the fair competition environment of roadside taxi and car-sharing applications, and may affect the development prospect of such taxi software.
