Didi’s controversial Hitch service will stay offline – for now, anyway.

A government-led investigation into the ride-hailing app uncovered multiple threats to passengers' safety, and Hitch will not be allowed back online until they are corrected, the Ministry of Transportation announced Wednesday.

Threats to passenger safety included insufficient protection of personal information, as well as possible safety threats brought about by Hitch’s “socializing” features, according to the ministry.

The ministry also scolded Didi – again – for weak emergency management and practices that posed dangers to social stability and public safety, as it had in September. 

The Ministry of Transportation launched its investigation in September after a female passenger was raped and murdered by her driver when using Hitch – the second such case to happen within a span of months.
