As much as I'm against the Uber corporate culture, which seems to be pretty similarly reflected here in this particular Chinese counterpart; so devils advocate here: it's probably not easy to police a huge pool of contract drivers.

I mean if anything, it's more an argument that ride-share companies should vet their drivers, do basic background checks .. you know, treat them as real employees instead of this "gig economy" bullshit.

Even then, you're still going to get a psycho in the mix, but at least you can say you attempted to do due diligence.

it's not easy to policy a pool of drivers, but that's not my concern as a consumer - that's on you to figure out your business model - if you've lost the consumer confidence, that's a direct threat to your business, not just a 'whoops I tried my best I promise I'll do better'
