Uber rival DiDi to launch in Cape Town
E-hailing app Didi announced that it will be expanding its services to riders in Cape Town.
The company announced that it was officially coming to Cape Town on the 17th of May after a successful pilot run in Gqeberha earlier this year.
DiDi will launch three new services such as DiDi Go, a low-cost alternative, DiDi Express, the company standard option and DiDi XL which offers transport for up to 7 people in one ride.
“We’re sure that we will quickly become a favourite option for mobility in Cape Town,” DiDi’s launch lead in South Africa, Ken Liu, said in a statement.
“Choices and flexibility are very important in South Africa, as well as affordability and safety for users and driving partners.”
Following the launch, users who download the app and register will receive ten coupons for discounted trips. The coupons offer up to a 50% discount on trips when used.
In addition, DiDi will host ‘DiDi Days’ on certain days of the week where users can enjoy bigger discounts on trips. These days will take place during May and June.
The DiDi Driver and Rider apps are available to download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
