Drivers, customers laud Didi's changes

Drivers and passengers alike appear to welcome the latest safety measures taken by ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing, but they question whether the measures are enough to prevent future crimes.

Didi resumed its late-night taxi service on Saturday after a weeklong pause. The company had suspended its 11 pm to 5 am shift on Sept 8 after the second incident in a span of four months in which a female passenger was killed by a driver while using its hitch service.

The ride-hailing leader has limited late-night trips to drivers who have provided at least 1,000 rides with no issues over a period of six months or longer, according to Didi's latest statement.
