Top car-hailing app adds bike-sharing service

BEIJING — On-demand mobility company Didi Chuxing has added a bike-sharing service from ofo, and will promote it across China.

Didi users will have direct access to ofo's bright yellow bikes in the app through fully connected services in registration, user authentication, deposit, ride payment, and customer support, according to a Didi press release Thursday.

Didi, China's leading car-hailing service, which boasts over 20 million daily orders, made a strategic investment in ofo, one of the country's top bike-sharing services, in September 2016.

The product linkup is a major step towards more extensive collaboration in shared mobility, according to the press release.
