DiDi ride-hailing app tested in Gauteng

DiDi rides tested — It's like Uber, but cheaper

We tested DiDi, the latest ride-hailing app to launch in South Africa, and found it stacks up well to established players like Uber and Bolt.

After initially rolling out in Gqeberha and Cape Town earlier this year, Didi launched in Gauteng on Monday, 23 August.

Its like Uber but Chinese.
Same-Same but different…

Oh crikey, so they squeeze their drivers more than Uber. You get what you pay for no doubt.

 

[WalkWithMe]

Uber prop up the American capitalism with shareholding from US to Japan to Saudi Arabia
Bolt - Estonia in Europe, prop up the EU economy
Didi - Chinese, prop up the communism, socialist life.

Drivers use all the apps and just switch, favouring Uber as they get the most from it.

Uber vets their drivers and the vehicle the strictest.

If you want cheap, then chose, if you want to consider where your money goes and the quality, then chose.

Uber is no saint in the market. Try getting support from them.

App is the best designed of all the ride-sharing services and I seem to have to wait the least for a Didi compared to all the others.

I use Uber at times to arrange school runs for my son. I prefer to book the trips and not have him do the booking as most of the time he has no data left. Anybody know how to do that on Didi?

The only didi I know is @D3nz

I’m on the Uber, Bolt, InDriver group and the drivers love DiDi. The 13% commission fee DiDi charges is a winner for them. It’s up to riders now to continue using it after the promos come to an end.

Exactly, Chinese, so I boycott.

Uber actually has a big shareholding in DiDi. Along with Tencent, they own 41% of DiDi.

but selling your personal info to the Communists is Cheaper, and if you praise them enough, more satisfying.
just like tiktok, showing them your praise of communism gets you Views and Likes.

maybe even typing this on a Huawei phone and saying how Glorious the CCP is, will get you something.

DiDi was banned from Chinese app stores under suspicion of being involved in the illegal collection and use of user data.

This was after the country enacted a new Data Security Law that requires companies and individuals to get approval from relevant authorities to transfer any data stored in China to overseas entities, such as law enforcement agencies.

Don't think that would have happened if it was a tool in the CCP's box.

no offense, but Data privacy in China is nonexistent,

as all citizens toil for the benefit/Glory of the CCP, so laws are made not for the people, but for the CCP,

so it was maybe removed, only for the spyware algorithms to be better hidden and more difficult to detect,

another reason I don't support tik tok, who knows what evil its hiding.
