托福阅读：嘀嘀、快的打车取消补贴
乘客的“甜头”终于到了尽头，嘀嘀、快的两大打车APP正式宣布停补。我们来看一下双语新闻以了解详细情况吧。
Taxi clients using mobile applications to book cabs will no longer be subsidized by providers of those services, China's two most-used taxi-hailing app companies said on Friday.
The announcements placed a marker in a multi-billion-yuan price war. "We will stop cash subsidies to taxi users and drivers by Saturday," Didi Dache said on Weibo.
"Long-term rewarding policies are on the horizon." Competitor Kuaidi Dache, with the biggest taxi-booking mobile application by market share, posted a similar online announcement. It said the company is looking for new ways to subsidize users.
Didi and Kuaidi control more than 97 percent of China's taxi-booking market, according to 199IT.com, an Internet statistics organizer.
Kuaidi is backed by e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. It handled more than 6 million taxi-bookings a day in the first quarter, according to 199IT.com. It had larger city coverage than its rival. The Hangzhou-based company serves more than 260 Chinese cities.
Didi is available in fewer than 180 cities. Didi has spent more than 1 billion yuan ($162 million) in subsidies since January to gain market share. It claimed to have more than 100 million accumulated users. The Shenzhen-based Internet company Tencent Holdings Ltd funded Didi. Tencent's popular social mobile application WeChat provided Didi Web-based bill payment services.
