(Baonghean.vn) – With the development of personal vehicles and competition from other transportation services such as taxis and buses, the already difficult job of motorbike taxi has become even more difficult...
 |
| In Vinh city today, it is estimated that there are about 800 - 1000 people working as motorbike taxi drivers. They are mainly concentrated at train stations, bus stops, hospitals... |
 |
| Those who operate at bus stops, coach stations, train stations, etc. have to compete more fiercely with taxis and other people in the same profession than those who operate at alleys, lanes, and other small points. |
 |
| Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, from Nghi Van, who drives a motorbike taxi in Vinh, said: "In the past, we could still make a living, but in recent years, taxis have developed strongly, and buses now go to most routes in the city, so the number of customers is now very unstable." |
 |
| To catch passengers, many motorbike taxi drivers risk their lives by running out onto the street, chasing buses and coaches before they stop to compete for passengers. |
 |
| To avoid two people fighting over the same customer, motorbike taxi drivers "select" customers by loudly announcing the characteristics of the customer they are selecting: "Red shirt, red shirt"; "Wearing glasses, carrying a backpack"…. |
 |
| Unlike the chaos and harshness at bus stations and bus stops, the work of Mr. Hoang Duy Xich (63 years old) at the intersection of Nguyen Duc Canh - Le Hong Phong is more peaceful as his customers, although few, are mostly regulars. |
 |
| Those who earn a living by working as motorbike taxi drivers but live far away often eat and rest on the spot to save on gas for the return trip. When there are no customers, many people put their feet up on the motorbike to take a nap. |
 |
| The motorbike taxi profession seems simple but is a risky and dangerous one. There have been many incidents of disturbances and injuries due to robbing passengers. The act of robbing, stealing passengers, and soliciting passengers by motorbike taxi drivers is also being opposed by many tourists and local people. |
