Ride-hailing Driver Attitudes and Behaviors Survey

Company overview

T3 Travel is a technology company dedicated to intelligent mobility services, committed to delivering safe, convenient, and eco-friendly transportation solutions through technological innovation and efficient operations. The company currently operates an established network across multiple cities, earning widespread user trust and high satisfaction through its intelligent dispatch system and high-quality service. T3 Travel consistently places users at the center of its operations, continuously improving service quality to deliver the best possible travel experience. Since the pandemic, the ride-hailing industry has experienced significant transformation. The rapid entry of platforms such as AutoNavi and Tencent, combined with the temporary removal and subsequent relaunch of DiDi, has reshaped the entire market structure. These changes have not only altered passenger travel habits but have also profoundly influenced ride-hailing drivers' selection behaviors and career expectations. In this context, T3 Travel aims to conduct a systematic study to deeply understand the key factors influencing drivers' platform choices, their genuine attitudes toward platforms, and their expectations for future development—enabling the company to better adapt to industry changes, refine platform strategies, and enhance driver satisfaction and platform loyalty.

Research background

In June 2024, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by T3 Travel to conduct a focused study on the ride-hailing driver community. The research employed a combination of online questionnaires and focus group discussions, with questionnaires covering 1,000 active drivers across 15 major Chinese cities. Focus group sessions were held in Guangzhou and Chengdu, inviting representative drivers to engage in in-depth discussions on various topics. The study explored drivers' perceptions of market changes, their satisfaction with the T3 platform and rental services, platform preference, career stability, and future development expectations. Based on demographic and professional background characteristics, a detailed driver profile analysis was conducted to comprehensively capture the core needs and behavioral patterns of the driver population.

Research scope

This study will provide T3 Travel with in-depth market and user insights, helping the platform understand the specific impacts of current industry dynamics on driver behaviors and attitudes, and guiding the optimization of platform operations and incentive mechanisms. Through quantitative analysis of driver satisfaction and policy demands, the research findings will offer strategic direction for enhancing service experiences and strengthening driver retention. Additionally, the study will establish a systematic driver profile database, laying the foundation for personalized services and resource allocation. Ultimately, T3 Travel will develop more accurate and data-driven market strategies based on this research, thereby enhancing its competitive advantage in the industry.
