Which is cheaper, a dropshipper or a cab?

Dropshipping and cabs actually charge roughly the same.

On the face of it, Drip seems cheaper than a cab, but it has a time charge of about 3 cents a minute and a waiting charge of only 12 kilometers an hour. A cab is one of those cars that you reach out and stop it, so there's no gas charge. The cost is really about the same.

Expanded:

Drops start at $17 for a mileage of $3.70, with a more than 15 kilometers is charged at 1.5 yuan per kilometer. Meanwhile, another car hailing app, Express, has also launched its Private Car One service, which starts at 15 yuan, with a mileage fee of 2.9 yuan per kilometer and an ongoing fee of 0.5 yuan per minute.

Driver Yang explained that the car mainly serves high-end business people, such as scheduled shuttles, corporate shuttles, etc., and can also issue reimbursement invoices.
