    Ride-sharing a possible solution to traffic woe

    To ease the jams, the city was forced to adopt odd-even registration plate number restrictions on cars, which means only half the vehicles are allowed to run on roads, on special occasions such as the Olympic Games and APEC Summit.

    A strict license plate lottery system was also introduced to curb growing car ownership. Under the system, in which applicants register and wait for their number to be called, the odds for winning are as low as 0.5 percent.

    Burgeoning business

    Beijing has some 60,000 taxis and more than 4 million private cars. During rush hours, many cars run with only one or two passengers, which is a huge waste. According to calculations, if 10 percent of the city's private cars participate in car-sharing, the roads would be much less crowded with 400,000 fewer cars.

    "This city has little capacity to accommodate more private vehicles, which means a great deal of car-pooling services are needed," said Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing.

    According to a report issued by Forward Business and Intelligence Co., there were more than 300 million registered users and more than 10 million registered drivers on car-hailing platforms including Didi Chuxing and Uber by the end of 2015.

    The car-sharing services of Didi have reached more than 300 cities. More than 2 million bookings were recorded through its car-sharing app in a single day.

    Problems

    Despite their burgeoning business and increasing popularity, ride-sharing companies in China including Didi Chuxing and Uber have not won legitimacy.

    Both were summoned by local governments several times in 2015 and told to obey Chinese laws. Law enforcement officials visited Uber's offices in several cities to investigate alleged illegal operations.

    Local authorities in many cities tightened their checks on car-hailing services and drivers of private cars faced fines of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,535) for illegal operation around the Spring Festival.

    Women are supposed to be loved. The more you love them, the more beautiful they become. This is not a proverb but a truth that all women in the universe would agree with. Some Chinese men are well aware of that and are trying their best to make this day a special one for their female counterparts.
