Didi preparing for launch in Mexico

Traffic in Mexico City

Chinese ride hailing company Didi Chuxing is preparing for a Mexican launch. Services are beginning "very soon", according to the company's local website that lacks a more detail start date. The company is yet to announce in what cities it will operate.

The company says it will take no cut of fares until 17 June in an effort to recruit drivers. After that date, Didi will take 20% of fares, a percentage slightly lower than Uber's commission in most markets.
