Women can also now hail late night rides with Didi.

Didi Chuxing, operator of China’s largest ride-hailing platform, has reversed a decision to allow only male passengers to hail a late hitch ride after a public backlash over its decision to have different service cut-off times for men and women.

That prompted outrage on social media, with many women complaining that the tech company was restricting women’s freedoms. Some even called the different service time a “curfew” for women. First launched in 2015, Hitch was once hailed as an energy-saving way of commuting before it was put on indefinite hold over safety concerns in August last year.

According to Thursday’s statement, Hitch records showed that sex-related complaints between 8pm and 11pm were 45% higher than between 5am to 8pm.

Right now, Rohingya crisis bigger than China’s treatment of Uyghur - Dr MHe tells Financial Times M’sia will only join the world in protest if there’s a mass emigration of Uighur due to ill-treatment. Just be honest about it Mahathir chedetofficial - You are now afraid Chinese in China will do like what Indians in India have done to Malaysia's economy. Tun's statement is clear & perfect to avoid muslim's voices in M'sia and minimize the conflict with China. But from economy's perspective, M'sia is not afford to keep Rohingya, soon will be slammed by voices of poverty in M'sia. Gov has to think what can Roh do to contribute.
