Furthermore, it not only offers taxi and shared travel service, but has also generated thousands of jobs and comfort for millions of passengers.

It also has a good security plan for users ; including driver face scan, distress alert or deviation of the driver, as well as a 24/7 attention service, among others.

What is the reason why you cannot pay in DIDI in cash?

This happens in cities that have had certain local regulations; For example, in Mexico City , the regulation of the law on mobility has been amended and it was announced in Article 59 that drivers of services with request cannot receive payments in cash or non-bank cards.
