DoNews, 1/15/14

Hangzhou Kuaizhi Technology, operator of taxi booking app Kuaidi Dache, has announced a partnership with Chinese online classifieds site 58.com (NYSE: WUBA). Under the partnership, 58.com users can access Kuaidi Dache's taxi booking service directly from the front page of the latest version (5.0) of 58.com's mobile app. After entering an intended destination and mobile phone number, the app will automatically determine the user's current location and send a taxi booking request via Kuaidi Dache to drivers.

At present, Kuaidi Dache's service covers 41 cities in China, with more than 20 mln users and nearly 400,000 drivers.

Editor's Note: The most recent version of Kuaidi Dache's passenger-facing mobile app supports cross-account connectivity with Chinese third-party payment processor Alipay. Kuaidi Dache rewards and discounts that have previously been issued in the form of credits to user mobile handset accounts can now be paid out directly to Alipay accounts.
