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 a “tragedy” that has sparked a widespread debate on Chinese social media. 

The young woman passenger was killed in Zhengzhou city last week, turning a spotlight on passenger safety as ride-sharing giant Didi Chuxing, which is valued at $50 billion, looks to make a big push outside China's borders.
