Has Yidao Yongche returned to normal operation?

[StJocelyn]

Yidao Yongche has not resumed normal operations. Below is relevant information about Yidao Yongche: Founding: Yidao Yongche was founded in 2010 by Zhou Hang, an advocate of intelligent transportation and car-sharing concepts. Through mobile internet technology and the new concept of Car-Sharing, it not only effectively improves vehicle utilization, reduces car ownership, and achieves energy-saving and environmentally friendly living, but also allows users to enjoy truly pleasant travel. Service Coverage: Yidao Yongche services have expanded to over 190 cities worldwide, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

As a frequent ride-hailing user, I recently tried Yongche (Yidao) and noticed it's gradually resuming services in some areas, though not as reliable as before. I've used it several times in Beijing - sometimes the app works normally with 10+ minute response times, but drivers report unstable order volumes and potential app crashes during peak hours. This likely reflects operational hiccups post-restructuring, with unresolved capital chain issues. Car-sharing services hinge on stable servers and driver incentive systems; persistent app glitches will push users to Didi or Amap. I recommend comparing multiple platforms before trips to avoid delays. Overall, it's in recovery mode but full normalization may take time.

A friend who used to drive for ride-hailing told me that Yidao Yongche has resumed taking orders in some cities, but the experience is mediocre. He mentioned recently being able to log into the driver app, but there are few orders with low commissions, and the app often crashes during peak hours. Past incidents of unpaid wages have shaken driver confidence, with many switching to other platforms. The car service industry is fiercely competitive now, with platforms like Didi offering more subsidies, making them more attractive. If Yidao wants to regain vitality, it must first optimize its backend system and incentive mechanisms. If users can't get a ride, they should directly opt for alternative options. This recovery process is often slow, and drivers are still in a wait-and-see mode.

I heard that Yidao Yongche resumed its services in the second half of 2023, and the app is now usable in some major cities. I used it once in downtown Shanghai, and although the response was five minutes slower than expected, the ride went smoothly. The platform is in the process of recovery, but coverage is still limited, and it might not be available in smaller towns. It's advisable to check the app for available rides before your trip. Stability is crucial for car-hailing apps, and Yidao faces challenges like user attrition and competition from rivals. If the service isn't fully optimized yet, opting for a more established platform might be a safer choice. Don't risk disrupting your travel plans.
