  • China's Uber Technologies UBER equivalent DiDi Global Inc DIDI added a new function to its drivers' app to understand how much they earn and how much passengers pay for each ride, Reuters reports
  • It was available in seven of China's cities, including Shenyang and Changchun, for now. Didi will continue to adjust its pricing strategy after receiving drivers' responses.
