Reuters has reversed its 9 September 2016 decision to exit the Macau market, stating on August that the support from the Macau populace altered plans to remove the service. Its fight to get into the Chinese market ended with the sale of its business in China to Didi Chuxing. The company launched in Macau less than 12 months ago, but considered an exit because of the $1.25 million worth of fines given to its drivers. The service has 23,000 drivers in the area, despite the lack of support from the Macau government, which is of the opinion that the app violates local legislation.
