Uber makes it easier for Chinese tourists to hail a ride
To stay ahead in the ride-hailing race, Uber has teamed up with the Chinese payments service Alipay. A new partnership means passengers can now hail an Uber outside of China using the Alipay app, rather than Uber's own software. From the home screen, travelers will see an Uber option and have access to the company's regular perks, including driver information and the vehicle's estimated time of arrival. Trip fees will be charged directly to the user's Alipay account in Chinese yuan. Uber's hope is that Chinese tourists will now use its service all around the world, shunning its rivals in the US and abroad, due to their familiarity with the Alipay app.
