Didi restarts hitch service but adds more conditions

Uploads of information required for safety; some customers complain

Didi Chuxing resumed its "hitch" service over the weekend, with new functions added to improve safety, but customers have complained that fewer services are provided.

The car-hailing company's hitch service has been suspended since May 12, after the murder of a 21-year-old flight attendant. She was killed by a Didi driver on May 6 in Henan province. The pickup was arranged via mobile app, connecting passengers to private cars heading in the same direction.
