「生存压力下，辽宁、吉林数千辆出租车相继罢工（2025.11.21-24）」近日，中国东北地区的辽宁阜新和吉林松原接连爆发大规模出租车罢工事件。面对微薄的收入、巨大的生活压力以及“黑车”的冲击，数千名司机选择了停运抗议。
11月21日，辽宁省阜新市约3000辆出租车集体停运。据当事司机透露，罢工的直接导火索是近期大量“黑网约车”抢占了客源，而当地政府干预不力，导致本就收入微薄的司机们入不敷出。司机们曾试图集体驾车前往沈阳上访，但在途中遭到警察拦截。迫于压力，阜新市交通运输综合执法队当日即发布通告，承诺将于11月26日前清理滴滴平台中未取得网约车运输证的车辆。仅三天后，吉林省松原市的2000多辆出租车也因遭受同样的生存挤压，发起了集体罢工。
根据“昨天”项目统计，2025年以来，东北三省已先后发生十余起出租车罢工事件。如此频繁的罢工背后，除了私家车增多，网约车、共享单车等新兴业态的市场冲击外，更深层的原因在于当地低迷的经济环境与极度饱和的出租车市场。以辽宁阜新为例，该市人口仅约160万，2024年GDP仅650亿元，却拥有三千余辆出租车，相当于每533人就拥有一辆。这一人均保有量远超一般三四线城市，密度堪比北京、上海。出租车数量如此之多，一方面源于阜新市是一个资源枯竭型城市，在大量的矿企倒闭后，下岗的工人们便涌入了出租车这一入行门槛相对较低的行业以维持生计。与此同时，地方政府为追求财政收入，也曾滥发大量出租车牌照。在市场极度饱和的状态下，任何未经许可的外部运力（如“黑车”）介入，都会成为压垮司机生计的最后一根稻草，从而引发罢工。
面对行业日渐衰落，司机们为何仍不转行？原因在于，出租车牌照和车辆成本高昂，动辄数十万元，在当前的市场环境下，很难通过转手收回投入。此外，受年龄和技能限制，许多司机除了开车几乎没有其他谋生手段。尽管他们清楚这是一个“黄昏产业”，但在经济压力与就业局限的双重夹击下，只能艰难坚持，直至陷入生存困境。
Under Survival Pressure, Thousands of Taxis Strike in Liaoning and Jilin (Nov 21–24, 2025)
Recently, large-scale taxi strikes have erupted consecutively in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, and Songyuan, Jilin Province, in Northeast China. Facing meager incomes, immense living pressures, and competition from unlicensed “black taxis,” thousands of drivers chose to suspend operations in protest.
On November 21, about 3,000 taxis in Fuxin collectively stopped operating. According to drivers involved, the immediate trigger was the surge of unlicensed ride-hailing vehicles that captured passengers, while local authorities failed to intervene effectively, leaving already low-earning drivers unable to make ends meet. Drivers attempted to drive collectively to Shenyang to petition higher authorities but were intercepted along the way. Under pressure, the Fuxin Municipal Comprehensive Transportation Law Enforcement Team issued a notice that same day, pledging to remove vehicles on the Didi platform without ride-hailing licenses by November 26. Just three days later, over 2,000 taxis in Songyuan, Jilin Province, also launched a strike due to similar survival pressures.
According to statistics from the “Yesterday” project, more than ten taxi strikes have occurred across the three northeastern provinces since the beginning of 2025. Behind this frequent unrest, beyond the rise of private cars and market disruptions from ride-hailing and bike-sharing platforms, deeper causes lie in the local sluggish economic environment and the oversaturated taxi market. In Fuxin, Liaoning, for instance, the city has a population of about 1.6 million and a GDP of just 65 billion yuan in 2024, yet it hosts over 3,000 taxis—equivalent to one taxi per 533 residents. This per-capita taxi density far exceeds that of typical third- or fourth-tier cities and is comparable to Beijing or Shanghai.
The large number of taxis stems partly from Fuxin being a resource-exhausted city. After many mining companies closed, laid-off workers flocked to the taxi industry, which has a relatively low entry threshold, to make a living. At the same time, local authorities, seeking fiscal revenue, had previously issued excessive taxi licenses. In an already oversaturated market, any external unlicensed transport—such as “black taxis”—can become the final straw that crushes drivers’ livelihoods, triggering strikes.
Why do drivers not change careers despite the industry’s decline? The reason lies in the high cost of taxi licenses and vehicles, often tens of thousands of yuan, which is difficult to recover in the current market. Moreover, due to age and skill limitations, many drivers have few alternative means of livelihood beyond driving. Although they are aware this is a “sunset industry,” under the combined pressures of economic hardship and limited employment options, they can only persist with great difficulty, ultimately falling into a survival crisis.
