网约车平台集体官宣：下调！

Core Viewpoint - The high commission rates that have long troubled ride-hailing drivers are expected to improve as platforms like Didi Chuxing, T3 Mobility, and Cao Cao Mobility announce reductions in commission rates to better protect driver rights [1][3]. Group 1: Commission Rate Reductions - Didi Chuxing will lower the maximum commission rate from 29% to 27% by the end of this year, with any amount exceeding 27% refunded to drivers.
