Many central areas but it is difficult to book technology cars in the past days.

Gasoline increases, fares increase, car companies make profits?

Over the past week, it has been difficult to order technology cars in many areas in Ho Chi Minh City. There are even areas where there are often many technology cars parked such as Tan Son Nhat airport (Tan Binh), Dam Sen area, luxury apartment complex on Phan Van Tri street (Go Vap district),… Picking up the car is not easy either. Some passengers have to wait from 30 to 60 minutes to book a ride that is only about 10km.

According to the sharing of NTT drivers (who have been driving technology cars for 5 years), a series of technology car drivers have quit when gas prices are high but are not supported by technology companies. Compared to before, the income of technology car drivers has decreased by 40-60%, so many drivers have to give up.

“80% of the brothers who bought a car on installments have been disbanded. They don’t have enough money to pay the bank and take care of car maintenance costs. A 4-seater car is still good, a 7-seater car now runs a technology car, sometimes it’s only enough to eat 2 meals. I have a friend who drives a 7-seater car and pours out 1.2 million gas money a day, but his income is only 1.1 million dong/day”, Mr. T. confided.

According to Mr. T., since the price of gasoline increased, the technology car company said it would support drivers, but in reality, there was no support. When the price of gasoline increases, the car company increases the freight rate, but the percentage of the driver’s revenue remains unchanged.

“There is a lot of shortage of cars now, because the company charges too much, including the tax of 37%. If the company increases the fare, the percentage of the driver remains unchanged, the price increase only increases profits for the company. Now, if we want to have the same income as before, we have to run more. In the past, with an income of one million dong/day, now it’s only 500,000 dong, very tiring,” added Mr. T.

Mr. T. said that since gasoline prices increased, many technology car drivers have quit their jobs and sold cars.

“Driving is a dream job, but like this, the family is ruined”

As a person who used to drive technology cars, Mr. NH Tuan (from Thai Binh province) said that many technology car drivers had to give up their “money-making” jobs because of rising gasoline and rising costs. In 2019, after 5 years of driving a motorbike taxi, Tuan saved nearly 200 million VND, he decided to buy a car on installments to earn a living.

“At that time, I saw that my brothers and sisters were doing very well with cars, some people pocketed 20 million dong per month. After a few days of thinking, I decided to buy a car for more than 800 million dong, borrow 500 million dong from a bank, monthly installments of about 10 million dong. After running for a few months, the epidemic hit, from then on, tragedy also began to fall on my family,” Mr. Tuan recalled.

At the time of the epidemic, he had to stop driving, he had to borrow money everywhere to earn money to pay the bank. The lack of spending made his family frustrated, causing conflicts and rifts, his wife often scolded him for his “flawless” decision when buying a car on installment. The family home with a wife waiting for her husband to ride a motorbike taxi every night instead of quarrels.

“I also want to buy a car and also want to have a better job to make a living to support my wife and children, but when the epidemic hits, no one can predict, many people are in the same situation, not just me. However, my wife does not understand, often The blame makes me sleepless. Anyone who suffers from being away from home and asking for food like me understands how heavy and frustrating it is to be abandoned by his wife, “confided in the 35-year-old man.

Because the couple often quarreled over debt, after the epidemic, Mr. Tuan drove from early morning to late at night to return to the motel room. When he saw that his husband was often away from home, and the money brought home less and less, making the family more and more difficult, his wife Tuan left her hometown. Many times begging could not, he had to “go into the water”.

“My wife thinks I don’t take care of the family, abandoning my wife and children, but in fact, I work day and night to earn money to pay the debt. When I have money, the family will be less quarrelsome. My wife thinks that I go out for a girlfriend. At the beginning of last year, I had to sell my car to go back to my hometown to live with my wife for a while. Now I have sold my car to pay off my debt. I am applying to work as a worker. Being a driver is a dream job. My wish, but if it continues like this, the family will be ruined. Buying a car thought it would change their life, who would have thought they would have almost lost their wife”, Mr. Tuan sighed.
