车份儿

noun

rental fee (for a rickshaw, pedicab); lease fee (from a taxi driver)

Originally a Beijing/Tianjin dialect term referring to the daily fee a rickshaw puller paid to the vehicle's owner. The concept and term have evolved to describe the fixed fee or 'lease' that a taxi driver pays to their company or the car owner for the right to operate the vehicle, before keeping their own earnings. It's a historical and industry-specific term.
