Profit before people puts the public at risk

"Better late than never." That's what most people said when I interviewed them about their views on the overhaul of the ride-hailing industry, which was prompted by the murders of two young women by drivers employed by Didi Chuxing's hitch service.
Despite the severity of the incidents, people seem fine with the safety measures the company introduced immediately after the government suspended its hitch service indefinitely.
However, as far as I am concerned, the solution doesn't lie entirely in building a safety mechanism - it's the company's attitude and values that really matter.
