“With DiDi Dache, you simply list where you are and where you want to go, leave a voice message for prospective drivers, and in my experience, within 5 minutes you have a taxi.  Some have reported that they were able to take rides for just 2 yuan, approximately 33 cents. This is possible due to the company’s revenue model, where revenue comes not from taxi fares themselves, but instead from ‘location-based advertising,’ which uses geo-tagging to target riders with advertisements related to their location.  A unique feature of the app is that people seeking taxis are able to bid for rides if demand spikes and/or they want a faster response.”
