Taxi apps issue own set of standards
Print Edition
Two Chinese taxi-hailing apps that merged in February yesterday issued a set of standards to govern their ride-on-demand services.
Under the self-imposed standards issued by Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache, drivers must have at least three years of driving experience, be screened for criminal and traffic violation records and undergo training and tests before being employed.
It also laid out requirements for vehicles used for such services and required them to be monitored through GPS and the Internet. The company will also be obliged to compensate passengers for accidents that occur during trips.
The two apps launched ride-on-demand services during the second half of last year. Both taxi drivers and private car owners have signed up, but the service has been challenged by regulators as some cities banned unlicensed drivers at the end of last year.
China’s Ministry of Transport also banned private cars from taking passengers for profit in January and ordered app developers to only dispatch cars owned by taxi or car-rental companies “out of safety concerns.”
