Behaving Kuaidi Taxi users get rewards
Print Edition
PASSENGERS with good credit records are allowed by Kuadi Taxi to pay their taxi fares 20 minutes later after the trip, the Alibaba-invested firm, one of China’s top two taxi-booking mobile app providers, said yesterday.
It is one of the new applications based on credit records offered by a private firm, Kuaidi said of the service which started yesterday.
Alibaba, which launched a US$25 billion initial public offering in the US in September, offers users credit ratings between 350 and 950 points according to their online consumption behavior through Alibaba’s taobao.com and Alipay. Passengers with ratings of 600 points or above can pay drivers the fares later, according to Kuaidi.
Users are rewarded based on their good behavior and the service makes it convenient for passengers when they are in a hurry to catch flights and trains or see doctors in an emergency, Zhao Dong, chief operation officer of Kuaidi, said.
Alibaba started to use the ratings for taxi and hotel bookings from yesterday. It planned to apply the ratings on shopping, match dating and more financial services later this year.
Users can check their rating points through Alipay, China’s most popular mobile payment tool.
Shanghai is setting up a credit system with credit data of more than 24 million people and 1.38 million enterprises and organizations, the Shanghai Credit Service Administration Office said.
The city will connect the government-backed credit database with those of private firms, like Alibaba’s rating, to provide an integrated credit data.
