Premium ride services offer better service quality compared to Express rides, and the vehicles used for Premium are more high-end and comfortable. Premium Ride: The difference from regular Express lies in the fact that vehicles providing 'Premium' services are relatively higher-tier models within the local Express fleet, ensuring a superior passenger experience in terms of hardware. Premium rides further segment the existing ride-hailing system, better balancing comfort and economic efficiency. Simply put, Premium offers better vehicle models and services than Express at a price cheaper than dedicated chauffeur services. Pricing: Premium rides are priced higher than Express. However, in practice, the total daily earnings for Premium drivers are roughly similar to Express. A key distinction is that Express receives a significantly higher volume of orders. Carpooling tends to be more exhausting. Premium rides may involve slightly longer pick-up distances, but since they don't include carpooling orders, the workload is relatively lighter.

I often take ride-hailing services for my commute and have noticed the main differences between standard rides and premium rides lie in service quality. Standard rides are like economy class—affordable but with ordinary vehicles, sometimes older models or cramped spaces. Premium rides are akin to business class, requiring cars under two years old with a wheelbase of at least 2.7 meters, typically mid-sized sedans like the Accord or Camry, offering notably spacious rear seating. Drivers also dress formally; in my few experiences, they proactively assist with opening doors and handling luggage. For short trips or solo commutes, standard rides are cost-effective, but for clients or family outings, spending an extra 20-30 yuan on premium rides makes a world of difference in comfort. The platform's commission rates are actually similar, and drivers mention passenger complaint rates are much lower for premium ride orders.

What is the function of the throttle body?

The throttle body has many functions, mainly including the following aspects: automatically adjusting to correct the intake function; controlling the operation of the engine assembly (the idle switch inside the engine is working); controlling the flap, and through the operation of the sensor, regulating the amount of intake air to enhance power. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter on the top and the engine block on the bottom, and is often referred to as the throat of the car engine. There are three main reasons why the throttle body becomes dirty: The air filter cannot completely filter out dust from the intake air, and the remaining dust enters the engine through the throttle body. The high airflow speed at the edges of the throttle valve plate generates static electricity due to air friction, which attracts and accumulates dust. The intake pipe of the crankcase ventilation system is connected in front of the throttle body. After the engine is turned off, oil vapor from the crankcase flows back through the pipe to the throttle body. When it encounters low temperatures, it condenses into oil droplets that adhere to the throttle body and valve plate, which also attract a large amount of dust. During engine operation, the late closing of the intake valve causes some of the mixture and exhaust gases to enter the intake manifold, which then flows back and contaminates the back of the throttle body. After the throttle body becomes dirty, the following symptoms may appear: unstable engine idle, persistently high engine RPM, difficulty starting the engine, especially cold starts; unstable or no idle; difficulty starting the engine; insufficient engine power, poor acceleration performance, and unstable operation; black smoke from the car's exhaust pipe and increased fuel consumption. Throttle body cleaning cycle: Generally, it is recommended to clean the throttle body every 20,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is used in an area with poor environmental quality and high levels of dust particles in the air, it is advisable to clean it 1,000 kilometers earlier. Avoid frequent cleaning of the throttle body, as excessive cleaning may cause damage to it.
