At the beginning of this year, a sudden epidemic changed the pace of people's work. Some people could not return to work, some chose to work from home and online, and the commuting was greatly affected. According to media reports, many ordinary office workers chose to take a taxi during the epidemic due to the concern of the relatively dense subway and bus personnel. However, in the context of the epidemic, both taxis and online car booking are "scarce resources", and if you have to work overtime, it is "just needed" to take a taxi home.
Today, China has taken the lead in overcoming the adverse impact of the epidemic and has fully resumed work and production. People's confidence in public transport has returned, making it easier to hail a taxi. After the baptism of the epidemic, many enterprises have begun to pay attention to the importance of commuting. How to help employees solve their daily travel troubles, especially the need to work overtime at night to go home, has become one of the important tasks for more employees.
Recently, Didi Enterprise Edition released a series of big data on overtime car use in 2020, which vividly shows the situation of overtime car use in major cities, industries and enterprises in China from the beginning of this year, as well as the real travel status of Chinese office workers in the midst of this alt-changing epidemic.
The number of cars used for overtime work dropped sharply under the epidemic and began to recover in June
Affected by the epidemic, many enterprises started to work from home at the beginning of this year, and many people also started to work from home. According to data from Didi Enterprise Edition, the demand for cars that work late (after 21 PM) from February to May 2020 decreased by 54.7% year-on-year, which is a sharp drop compared to last year.
As all industries have basically resumed work and production since June, the number of cars used for overtime work has rebounded. Data shows that although the number of cars used for overtime work at night from June to August in 2020 decreased by 20 percent compared to the same period last year, the number of cars used for overtime work at night increased by 49 percent compared to the same period from February to May this year, indicating that the demand for overtime work at night has shown a significant recovery.
Under the influence of the epidemic, taking a taxi home has obviously become the way for many people working overtime to go home at night. The revival of the car at night also indirectly shows that the control of the epidemic is becoming more and more stable, and all industries are actively promoting and realizing the real state of the resumption of work and production.
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou continue to be the TOP 3 cities with the highest demand for overtime cars
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have long been the cities with the most resources and opportunities in China, as well as the most frequent overtime work. For office workers living in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, public transport is often out of service after working overtime, and taking a taxi home has long become a necessity for them. According to Didi Enterprise Edition, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou once again topped the top three cities with the most demand for cars for overtime work.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, the total number of trips in the first half of this year decreased significantly compared to last year, and rebounded significantly after entering June. According to the data of Didi Enterprise Edition, from June to August 2020, the number of cars used for overtime work in Guangzhou and Shanghai increased by 19% and 15% respectively compared with the same period last year, showing obvious growth momentum. In Beijing's Zhongguancun district, the total number of overtime cars increased by 51.2 percent from June to August this year compared with the same period in 2019. As we all know, Zhongguancun area is the core area of science and technology in Beijing, known as the Silicon Valley of China. It is the hub of many famous enterprises and also the mecca for a large number of entrepreneurs. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more than 200 enterprises in the Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone have overcome their own difficulties and directly participated in epidemic prevention and control. It can be said that the people working in Zhongguancun are among the hardest groups and the most lovely people.
Technology, software and leasing are the top three industries with the most overtime work
Affected by the epidemic, the digital transformation of various industries in China accelerated in the first half of this year, with rapid development of online education, online office, fresh food e-commerce and other industries. In the special period of epidemic prevention and control, intelligent office tools based on cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies have highlighted their value, making it possible for enterprises to do uninterrupted business during the epidemic prevention period. With the advancement of the digital transformation of various industries in China, traditional industries such as leasing and business services have also started to conduct remote online business, effectively reducing the impact of the epidemic on business.
According to data from Didi Enterprise Edition, the top three industries for driving cars at night overtime from June to August 2020 were scientific research and technology service/information transmission, software and information technology service, leasing and business service, which remained unchanged compared with previous years. Among the subdivided verticals, radio, television, film and sound production grew by 17.6 percent; Real estate fell 17.7 percent; The insurance industry grew 23.7%; Home construction increased 29.3 percent.
Among them, the public attention of the Internet and related service industry to resume work and production momentum is good, the evening peak car volume is basically unchanged from the same period last year. The entertainment industry, which was the worst affected by the epidemic, is still recovering gradually. From June to August, the number of cars used at night for overtime work decreased by 80 percent compared with last year.
This year marks the sixth year that the enterprise version of Didi has been launched. So far, it has served 300,000 enterprises, covering 400 cities and more than 17 million office workers. Through the user big data of Didi Enterprise edition, we can accurately sketch a complete portrait of working overtime. In the face of the epidemic, it is the overtime efforts of enterprises in various industries that have pushed the "accelerator button" for the sustained recovery of the Chinese economy. In the post-epidemic era, Didi Enterprise version is still the travel safety guarantee for workers and the embodiment of humanized care for employees.
