首先，要大力推动更透明化的定价机制与更合理化的抽佣规则。叫停"一口价"的初衷是取缔"无序低价 竞争"，不是增加乘客的负担。平台应积极主动地向司机和消费者清晰公示计价规则、抽佣比例及其具 体构成，让司机的每一份付出都得到清晰对等的回报，同时也让乘客的每一笔消费都明明白白。 其次，必须精准平衡好司机、平台与乘客之间的关系。平台作为连接供需两侧的关键枢纽，既要获得自 身利益，更要照顾司机的利益和顾及乘客体验。在取缔不合理低价、确保司机劳动价值得到尊重的同 时，也应通过优化计价方式兼顾"最大公约数"，确保各方利益的平衡。 近日，陕西西安等地出台政策，全面暂停网约车"一口价"等低价营销行为，严禁任何形式的价格欺诈和 恶意压价。而在此前，江西鹰潭、河南开封、广东清远等多地也相继出台类似政策，禁止平台以"一口 价"模式强制司机接单。各地有关部门的相关举措，对构建公平、透明、可持续的行业生态具有积极意 义。 "一口价"等低价模式，本质上是平台抢占市场份额的捷径。它短期内看似惠及了乘客，留住了用户，但 其将运营成本转嫁给了司机群体，"司机接单增多而收入未增"。这种模式不仅不可持续，更背离了行业 长期健康发展的方向。监管部门叫停 ...

多地暂停网约车"一口价"等低价营销行为。 近日，陕西西安等地出台政策，全面暂停网约车"一口价"等低价营销行为，严禁任何形式的价格欺诈和恶意压价。而在此前，江西鹰 潭、河南开封、广东清远等多地也相继出台类似政策，禁止平台以"一口价"模式强制司机接单，治理无序低价竞争行为。一些通知指 出，这类订单扰乱了市场秩序，侵害了从业人员权益。 相关文件 所谓"一口价"订单，是指乘客设定目的地后，系统依据预估里程、时长及实时路况等因素生成固定结算价格，即便出现堵车或路线变 更，乘客仍按初始价格付费。该模式因价格低廉、费用可控，对乘客具有较强吸引力，曾是网约车平台抢占市场份额的重要手段，能在 短期内刺激打车需求增长。 有利也有弊，这种模式也给司机群体带来了一些显著困扰。不少司机反映，"一口价"订单的单价普遍低于正常订单，且不计算跑单时长 费，导致"接单量增多但收入未增"的怪象。在拥堵路段或路线调整时，司机实际运营成本上升，但收入却无法相应增加，劳动权益难以 得到保障。 对于当前市场对一口价的争议，国际智能运载科技协会秘书长、黄河科技学院客座教授张翔对观察者网表示，"一口价"订单让司机看起 来订单变多了，但是挣的钱没有增加，却使 ...
