     6 years ago in  When is Didi Chuxing coming to the US?

    I bet it's soon. Them expanding into Mexico is a declaration of war against Uber.  Mexico is a stronghold for US, and the business model and marketing approach are similar.  It's obviously Didi's way of preparing for opening a store in the USA


  • Yeah, I think all drivers have stories on when we kicked out someone.  Every driver runs into this one time or another. No matter where you drive, what day you drive, or when you drive, you will eventually run into a crazy person.  It's like a Snicker bar.  You will eventually run into a nut.

    I picked up this man at 6:30AM on a Monday morning.  His two friends brought him out and told me they had been drinking all night.  That should have been a redflag. No idea why I didn't just cancel.  They told me where he lives, I punch it into the GPS.  The guy didn't seem overly drunk, and said a few words and sat in the back.

    Not 2 minutes into the ride, the guy says to me, "No, that's not where I am going. Turn left here."  So I do.  Then he continues to tell me directions until a few minutes, I stopped hearing any directions.  That's when I realized he was completely passed out.  I yelled a few times, no response.  I finally pullover, tried to shake the guy awake from the front seat, but nothing. He just fell over, snoring on my seat.  

    This is where I made my mistake.  I swiped to complete the ride, got off the car, and went around to his door.  I still couldn't wake him up.  At all.  Leveraging my taxi driving experience, I thought about driving him to a local police station, but that'st when I remembered that I already knew where his house was.  So I did.  Without any pay.  like 12 miles. Missing all my airport rides that I target on a Monday morning.
