在拥有1800万人口的特大城市深圳，网约车市场已正式饱和，截至四月底已有超过14万辆运营车辆和40万名司机。在全国范围内，大约有750万人（主要为年轻男性）在失去其他工作后将网约车作为最后的退路。

深圳的网约车司机平均每天仅能接到13.1单，远低于30单的理想水平，在起步价仅为10元（约合1.48美元）的情况下，这难以维持基本生计。这种经济压力导致许多外来司机选择睡在车里以省去房租开支。

随着大城市难以吸收过剩劳动力，2025年有创纪录数量的农民工放弃城市就业并返回家乡。网约车市场的饱和凸显了中国在依赖城市服务业推动未来经济增长方面所面临的严峻挑战。

In Shenzhen, an 18-million-resident megacity, the ride-hailing market is officially saturated, with over 140,000 licensed cars and 400,000 drivers by the end of April. Nationwide, approximately 7.5 million people have turned to ride-hailing as a last resort fallback after losing other employment.

Drivers in Shenzhen average only 13.1 fares per day, down from a decent target of 30, which fails to cover living costs with minimum fares set at just 10 yuan ($1.48). This economic pressure has led many migrant drivers to sleep in their cars to avoid rent expenses.

As major cities struggle to absorb surplus labor, a record number of migrant workers in 2025 gave up on urban employment and returned to their home provinces. The saturation of the ride-hailing market highlights the challenges China faces in relying on its urban service sector for future economic growth.
