Its platform offered carpooling services, particularly targeting low-income groups, and provided assistance for the elderly. Kuaidi Dache also focused on initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and optimize public transportation. The application included a feature that allowed passengers to give drivers an extra tip, ranging from 5 to 20 yuan.
In a significant market consolidation, Kuaidi Dache merged with its main competitor, Didi Dache, in 2015. This merger created one of the largest smartphone-based transportation service providers in the world, which now operates as Didi Chuxing.
