Taxi hailing app to 鈥榗orrect behavior鈥
Print Edition
Beijing transport authorities have again stressed the illegality of unlicensed taxis after questioning executives of taxi-hailing app Didi Dache at a meeting on Tuesday.
Didi Dache services Didi Express and Didi Zhuanche, which allow private car owners to accept fares for driving passengers around, violate existing laws and regulations, according to a statement by the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission and Traffic Law Enforcement Agency.
Only cars officially designated as taxis may pick up paying passengers, the statement said.
Didi Express charges slightly less than taxis. Didi Zhuanche charges at least 30 percent more than taxis but frequently offers coupons.
Didi, which is backed by Chinese Internet giant Tencent and has more than 100 million registered users, also runs another two services. One allows users to hail standard taxis. Another, launched on Monday, is designed for ride-sharing.
Following Tuesday鈥檚 meeting, a Didi executive promised to 鈥渃orrect the company鈥檚 behavior according to government requirements and strengthen its cooperation with relevant government institutions.鈥
The taxi-hailing apps market has boomed in China since Didi launched in 2013. While welcomed by the public, they have been subject to sporadic government crackdowns, and taxi drivers have protested at a lack of regulation of such services.
