Around China : jetfire9000 commented on news Shanghai Taxi Driver Investigated for Ripping Off Passengers on Multiple Occasions

Didi Dache seems like a niche market... for some reason cabs don't seem to use it at all in many cities. In Shanghai its sorta iffy. Even worse are tier 2 cities or anywhere outside of Jiangsu province in general. Uber seems to be headquartered in Shanghai, maybe it works better there...? Full Comment>>
