尼日利亚基于App的交通运输工会联合会（AUATON）已呼吁司机停止在inDrive平台上运营，理由是其所称的离谱车费。该立场由工会拉各斯州理事会主席Comrade Jaiyesimi Azeez在一份声明中公布。

在题为HOW INDRIVE LOW-FARE PRICING IS DESTROYING THE DIGNITY OF PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS的声明中，这位主席指出，问题的核心在于inDrive的车费议价模式；他认为该模式不可持续，并对司机构成威胁。

他表示，多年来，这一模式一直鼓励乘客压低专业司机服务的价值。因此，乘车价格并不是根据真实运营成本来设定，而是让乘客提出自己愿意支付的金额，而这些金额往往并未反映燃油成本、车辆保养、折旧、保险、交通状况或司机时间成本。

他称，结果就是一种“向下竞赛”。

“ This model has gradually changed passengers’ expectations. Many riders now believe they should decide the value of a driver’s labour, and this mentality has spread across the e-hailing industry ,” Comrade Azeez said.

其后果清晰而且相当严重。司机如今工作时间更长，但收入更少。车辆保养变得难以负担。许多司机陷入债务。职业标准正在被削弱。整个行业也被推向不可持续的定价。

不过，他指出，inDrive只有在司机允许的情况下才能依靠这一模式成功。他进一步警告称，接受inDrive不可持续车费的司机，无论是否有意，实际上都在帮助削弱整个职业群体。

“ I f we want to restore dignity to our profession we must stop supporting pricing models that drive fares lower and lower. I therefore appeal to every professional e-hailing driver to carefully consider where they invest their time and effort. Stand together. Support fair pricing. Reject fares that cannot sustain your business. And stop competing ourselves into poverty ,” he said.

inDrive坚持其定价模式赋予自由

inDrive方面一直坚持认为，其竞价模式让司机可以赚取自己想要的收入，也让乘客支付自己愿意支付的金额。该公司还表示，与大多数网约车平台不同，其系统允许乘客和司机在行程开始前就先就车费达成一致。

据国家代表Timothy Oladimeji称，该平台设有一个对司机公平的最低基准。他解释说，公司的议价系统通过限制乘客可压到多低、司机可抬到多高，来抑制剥削行为。他表示，这带来了平衡。

“ There is a fair minimum benchmark. Our bargaining system discourages exploitation by putting guard rails on how low passengers can bargain and how high drivers can bargain as well. Our social listening and research with drivers show that inDrive has been the balance point for both riders and passengers , ” Oladimeji said.

他还指出，在平台提供的平衡下，司机能够对行程作出更有依据的选择，乘客也可以获得公平的议价结果。因此，该平台的议价模式确保需求和供给在没有算法干预的情况下自然互动。

“ Achieving marketplace balance can be challenging. Our bargaining model ensures that demand and supply interact naturally, without algorithmic interference ,” inDrive’s Nigeria lead said.
