Yesterday Chinese ride - sharing company ( and Uber competitor ) Didi Kuaidi released new data on its position in the Chinese market , claiming that it is the “ market leader ” in all of the 259 cities where it provides private - car service , including a 90 % share of Beijing , home to one million people , where the company fields over one million daily ride requests . Also on Tuesday, Didi Kuaidi launched a new service called 'Express Pool', which allows carpooling for passengers taking its 'Express' service, which it said was a way to improve drivers' income and lower travel costs. Furthermore , Didi claims to have “ broken even ” in “ over 100″ cities in 10 provinces it which it operates ; however , it is worth bearing in mind that this is less than half of all its active cities , and Didi plans to expand to 400 total cities in the next three months . The move keeps it ahead of Uber , who said in September that it would enter 100 new Chinese cities over the next year .
