Since 2020, the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact and caused serious damage to transportation businesses. Transportation business activities have been suspended at many times, especially passenger transport due to regulations on Covid-19 prevention and control. Transportation business revenue has decreased sharply, but output costs such as labor costs, driver and assistant salaries; fuel costs; fees, taxes; bank loan interest... businesses still have to pay, leading to an imbalance in revenue and expenditure...
