SHENZHEN is No. 5 in the ranking based on demand for going out at night in different cities published by DiDi on Tuesday. The top 10 cities in order of demand between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. are Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Foshan and Nanjing, which was calculated based on data from July to the end of August. The statistics from ride-hailing app DiDi show that the period from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. is the peak for those who go out at night in Shenzhen. The rush in demand is focused in communities, commercial buildings, bus stations, enterprises, Metro stations and other relevant locations. The top three destinations are Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint, Haiya Mega Mall and Xili Port Apartments. The top 10 hot destinations continue with Qinghu and Shuanglong Metro stations and Huanggang Checkpoint. Nighttime social situations frequently take place between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., which happens to be the time that drivers get off work and go home. As a result, the demand rises, while the capacity decreases, resulting in the night peak. DiDi has come up with a higher nighttime duration and distance fee, which will gradually incentivize drivers to go out at night. (Chen Siqi) |
