Cost comparison: the total cost of carpooling is close to 600 yuan, and 3 people share each 200 yuan; It takes 7 hours by train from Shenyang to Tangshan, with hard seat 78 yuan/person and hard sleeper 160 yuan/person. Coach sleeper fare 165 yuan/person.
But then again, if you take a bus or a bullet train with a lot of luggage, you need to transfer to other means of transportation to get home. In this way, if several friends carpool together, the price is cost-effective. What's more, although there is no advantage in carpooling price, there are basically no tickets for train tickets and bus tickets. Most of the prices of carpooling websites are announced by the owners themselves and can be discussed again.
If there is an accident in carpooling, it is not easy to claim compensation.
Although carpooling brings some convenience, safety is more important, but carpooling groups seem to ignore this problem.
Combing carpooling news often highlights the convenience of price and time, claiming that "the charge is not high, that is, making oil money" and "getting home the same day". However, in terms of safety and risks, there is a lack of due requirements: apart from simply requiring a driver's license and prohibiting smoking in the car, news publishers rarely involve the responsibility and risks of carpooling and the security inspection of the car itself, let alone signing a risk agreement in advance.
Many carpoolers want to sign a carpool agreement, but they don't know how to start. In this regard, Li Liwei, a lawyer, said that apart from the carpool price that * * * cares about, both parties should write their basic information into the agreement. Before carpooling, carefully check each other's identity and write down telephone number, address, occupation and other information.
Although supported by the transportation department, carpooling still has certain security risks. Because the owner's vehicles are all insured by private cars, they can provide paid operation services when carpooling, and they have not reached an agreement with the insurance company to change the nature of vehicle use, which is suspected of changing the nature of use. Therefore, in the event of a traffic accident, claims are prone to disputes.
Therefore, carpooling gives priority to the formal platform.
Miss Li, a native of Henan who works in Quzhou, also plans to carpool home this year. She said that seeing that many fellow villagers couldn't get their tickets back, she simply didn't grab them and took a ride home. However, in the choice of hitchhiking, Miss Li is still very cautious. Although some local forums, QQ groups and WeChat groups have carpooling information, several people agreed to go together and then share the tolls and fuel costs, but Miss Li felt that it was unsafe and insecure.
"I have certain risks in taking a stranger's car alone, so I will choose a regular platform to operate the vehicle. Even if the cost is higher, at least the safety will be more secure." Miss Li said.
