BEIJING/SHANGHAI: China's biggest ride-sharing company apologised on May 10 over the killing of a passenger, apparently by her driver, and said it had to win back the trust of users after the “tragedy”.

The young woman passenger was killed in Zhengzhou city last week, compounding fears about passenger safety that have been plaguing the ride-sharing giant Didi Chuxing, which is valued at US$50bil (RM200.88bil).
