Didi Unified Hitch Service Hours: 20:00 to 5:00 am High number of sexual complaints

  On the evening of November 7, Didi, an online ride-hailing platform, announced that during the small-scale trial operation of Hitch, in order to ensure the safety of the trial product and service, the service time for all Hitch users will be adjusted to 5:00-20:00. That is, users will not be able to use Didi Hitch service after 8:00 pm.

  In the announcement, Didi said, "It is our principle to provide equal services to users. We should provide services uniformly or temporarily not provide services during the same time period. We have not considered this carefully and made mistakes in decision-making. We are very sorry."

  The previous day, Didi announced that Hitch would start trial operation in seven cities including Harbin and Beijing on November 20. What caused widespread controversy is that there are differences in the use time of male and female passengers in the trial operation plan of Didi Hitch. The service time for male passengers is 5:00-23:00, while for women it is 5:00-20:00, that is, after 8:00 pm, women cannot use Didi Hitch service.

  That evening, Didi President Liu Qing said on his personal Weibo, as a senior female white-collar worker, I also feel that the current ride product function is not very easy to use for female students; but in terms of safety, it is a practice run on thin ice.

  In the announcement on the evening of November 7, Didi said that after listening to the opinions and suggestions of all parties, it decided to adjust this rule, and the time for all Hitch users to provide services was adjusted to 5:00-20:00. Future product service rules will continue to be iterated and optimized.

  According to the data provided by Didi in the announcement, according to the statistics of past safety complaints of Hitch, the number of sexual complaints in the two time periods of 20:00-23:00 and 23:00-5:00 was 45% and 465% higher than that of 5:00-20:00, respectively.

  According to data released by the China Judicial Big Data Research Institute in 2018, night is also the peak time for criminal cases in the taxi and online car-hailing industry. In 2017, 52 cases of taxi driver crimes occurred at night, accounting for 30% of the overall crime cases of taxi drivers. Nine cases of online car-hailing driver crimes occurred at night, accounting for 50% of the overall crime cases of online car-hailing drivers.

  Therefore, Didi said, but based on the safety data mentioned above, it decided to choose a relatively conservative plan. (Reporter, Chen Yuxi)

  Attachment: Announcement of Didi Hitch on the evening of November 7

  Yesterday, we announced the plan for the trial operation of Hitch, one of which was about the night service rules for users (5-20 points for female users and 5-23 points for male users), which aroused discussion and criticism.

  Before the announcement of the plan, we did not discuss this rule with the public and did not fully listen to the opinions of all parties. At the same time, we apologize for the trouble caused to everyone due to poor consideration and improper communication.

  After listening to the opinions and suggestions of all parties, we decided to adjust this rule. During the small-scale trial operation of Hitch, in order to ensure the safety of the trial product and service to the greatest extent, the service time for all Hitch users is adjusted to 5:00-20:00. During the practice run (no information service fee), the product service rules may continue to be iteratively optimized, and there will be various inconveniences in use. Please understand and give us suggestions.

  Once again, I would like to express my sincere apologies for yesterday’s improper communication. Please believe in us and our safety efforts in the past year. Didi’s original intention is also to hope that all users and drivers can travel well and go home safely. But in the face of complex ride-hailing safety problems, we do have many areas that are not thoughtful and have no good policies at present. We will continue to improve in the days to come, constantly listen to opinions, and do our best to travel well.

  -

  In addition, we would also like to share with you our thoughts on ride-hailing safety:

  In this trial operation plan, Hitch permanently logged off all sensitive information related to user privacy such as personalized avatar, gender, and long text evaluation; the owner of the joint ride needs to go through facial recognition, and both drivers and passengers need to check the information before getting on the bus. In the long-distance travel scenario, the number of face recognition times of the owner will be increased, the user will be reminded to set emergency contacts, and the itinerary will be automatically recorded. The user access link of Hitch has now realized full real names. The owner of Hitch and the driver of the express car need to carry out three-certificate verification, background screening and facial recognition, and the person who is discredited will not be able to register as the owner of Hitch.

  According to the statistics of past safety complaints from Hitch, we found that the number of sexual complaints in the two time periods of 20:00-23:00 and 23:00-5:00 was 45% and 465% higher than that in 5:00-20:00, respectively.

  According to the data released by the China Judicial Big Data Research Institute in 2018 *, in the taxi and online car-hailing industry, night is also the peak time for criminal cases. In 2017, 52 cases of taxi driver crimes occurred at night, accounting for 30% of the overall crime cases of taxi drivers. Nine cases of online car-hailing driver crimes occurred at night, accounting for 50% of the overall crime cases of online car-hailing drivers.

  We are well aware that too many rules will harm the shared experience of car owners and passengers, but the platform still needs to make every effort to guard against human uncertainties and do everything possible to keep safety risks out. Since the ride-sharing is a private car ride-sharing relationship, the owner and the passenger are mutual assistance and the car belongs to the owner’s private space. It is impossible to force the installation of camera equipment and regular offline Security Training for the owner like the express car. Feasible measures to improve night safety are limited.

  The trial operation time is adjusted to 5:00-20:00, which is definitely not the most perfect solution, but it is indeed a choice we made under various conditions. We have also considered adjusting it to 23:00 uniformly, but based on the safety data mentioned above, we still decided to choose a relatively conservative solution. Please understand.

  In addition, providing equal services to users is a principle we should abide by. We should provide services uniformly or temporarily not at the same time. We are very sorry for our poor consideration and wrong decision-making.

  Thank you to all the friends who have criticized, cared about, and helped Didi Hitch. We will carefully study everyone’s opinions and do our best to provide safe, economical, and smooth travel services.

  Active and passive double insurance, double super safety and more reliable.

  The most striking thing is the safety equipment of this car. The so-called passive safety is not afraid of accidents, active safety avoids accidents, and physical safety and intelligent safety are double insurance. Probably, only the new M7 in the world has done it, and it has done an excellent job. In the aspect of passive safety, it is safer and more reliable to match the new M7 body structure and open the mold and rebuild the welding production line. The submarine-grade thermoformed steel accounts for 24.4%, high-strength steel and aluminum alloy account for 80.6%, which is better than the mainstream models of 500,000 luxury brands currently on sale. At the same time, CBS(Composite Body Solutions) composite body material is introduced to effectively improve the body stiffness and collision safety. In addition, the new car comes standard with eight airbags and front double pre-tensioned seat belts, which provide users with all-round driving safety based on more real-life scene verification.

  In terms of active safety, the new M7 in the world has also achieved the goal of not being afraid of things and being more able to avoid them. 360-degree fusion perception is the strength of Huawei ADS 2.0, which makes a qualitative leap in the active safety capability of the new M7, bringing the industry’s first "omni-directional anti-collision system".

  Generally speaking, the new M7 is equipped with Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit system, which provides a better intelligent technology experience. In addition, it has spacious interior space, comfortable driving experience and excellent performance, so it is undoubtedly a model worth looking forward to. Moreover, from its sales performance, it has won the full recognition of the market and consumers by virtue of its excellent product strength and innovative technology. In the first sales period, we decided to ask for a new M7, that is, to give away the rights and interests worth 33,000 yuan. Consumers are welcome to make an appointment for a test drive to the store.

Sexual harassment, injury and disability, overlord clause beware of these "pits" in the gym

   Sexual harassment and verbal insults should only be regarded as "mouth addiction"

   On April 9, it was reported by the media that Ms. Xiaoqian of Hangzhou paid a deposit for private lessons in a gym. Afterwards, she felt that the price was too expensive and wanted to return it. In order to retain her, the fitness instructor proposed the conditions of accompanying sleep. Xiao Qian told the media: "I said that I can find their coach or him to sleep with me for one night, and that if I need a woman, they can also provide a woman, saying that their director is a lesbian, so that their director can sleep with me for one night." When asked, a supervisor of the fitness center said that the social atmosphere was more open, but it was just a mouth addiction.

   Prior to this, Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Nanjing, was inexplicably "helped" by a fitness instructor while running in the gym. She felt harassed and called the police station. Finally, the gym apologized to him and refunded the card fee in full.

   Article 38 of China’s Constitution stipulates that the personal dignity of People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens is inviolable, and it is forbidden to insult or slander citizens by any means. Article 40 of the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests stipulates that sexual harassment of women is prohibited. Article 38 of the Beijing Measures for Implementing the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests in People’s Republic of China (PRC) (Revised Draft) stipulates that it is forbidden to sexually harass women in any form such as language, writing, images, electronic information and physical behavior. The Measures for Implementing the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests in People’s Republic of China (PRC) Province stipulates that "it is forbidden to sexually harass women in the form of obscene language, words, pictures, electronic information and behaviors that violate laws and ethics."

   The coach put forward a clear demand for small money, which caused him to have obvious psychological discomfort and constituted sexual harassment. According to the law, if sexual harassment of women in violation of the law constitutes a violation of public security management, the victim may request the public security organ to impose administrative punishment on the illegal act according to law, or bring a civil lawsuit to the people’s court according to law.

   Injuries and disabilities are not uncommon. The qualification review of coaches needs to be standardized.

   In recent years, a large number of newcomers have poured into the field of fitness, but there is a lack of professional private education, and disability incidents are frequent due to improper or unprofessional guidance.

   In July, 2014, Zhang Wanting, a 17-year-old girl from Shenyang, died suddenly in a gym weight-loss training camp. According to media reports, Zhang Wanting had undergone high-load training and was strictly controlled in diet, and the coach at the time of the incident had no relevant qualifications and first-aid knowledge.

   In 2015, a fat man accidentally fell down and broke his achilles tendon because of bending over and lifting his legs, which was not suitable for his weight load. At that time, private teachers and members were still laughing and chatting, thinking that there was no serious problem.

   In 2016, Pearl Krabs, a second-year graduate student in Beijing, bought 4,500 yuan of private education courses in a fitness chain. Three months later, the hospital diagnosed the second degree damage of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the right knee; Previously, Pearl Krabs’s coach had been encouraging her to keep exercising. When defending rights, the coach could not produce any professional certification. Finally, the gym returned 4,000 yuan to Pearl Krabs and dismissed the coach.

   It is understood that there are roughly three types of private education sources in the industry: graduates from major sports colleges, retired athletes and social fitness enthusiasts. Even some are just in good shape, and they can be employed after attending some short-term training courses. There is no uniform standard for the post qualification of private education in the whole fitness industry, and the threshold for employment is completely grasped by the fitness institutions themselves.

   According to the 2015 Career Development Report of Fitness Coaches in China issued by the Vocational Skills Appraisal and Guidance Center of the State General Administration of Sport, 52% of the fitness coaches who have been employed for 1-3 years are students from sports colleges, and the remaining 48% have no professional background.

   At present, there are two types of qualification certificates recognized by the fitness industry, one is the "national job certificate". The other is the qualification certificate certified by non-governmental organizations, or the award-winning certificate of bodybuilding competition. Among them, the "national job certificate" belongs to the level evaluation category and is not mandatory. Just because a fitness instructor wants to be employed does not mean that he must pass the national vocational examination and obtain a "national vocational certificate".

   Lu Dajiang, a graduate tutor at the School of Sports Science of Shanghai Institute of Physical Education, suggested that the admission system for fitness instructors should be established with reference to the supervision methods of high-risk industries such as swimming and rock climbing. The relevant coach qualifications are subject to the access system, that is, the personnel engaged in guiding teaching must obtain the national vocational qualification certificate before they can take up their posts and engage in related work.

   Article 32 of the National Fitness Regulations stipulates that those who engage in high-risk sports must have a specified number of social sports instructors and rescuers who have obtained national vocational qualification certificates. The first batch of high-risk sports announced by the state in 2013 include swimming, skiing, rock climbing and diving.

   Fitness institutions have overlord clauses, and it is difficult for consumers to transfer or return their cards.

   At present, many fitness cards on the market require me to hold the card. If consumers require to pay a handling fee ranging from several hundred yuan, some gyms even stipulate that they cannot transfer cards.

   Jiang Dianliang, a southern legal aid lawyer, said that because the consumer card generally indicates that "this card is not transferable", if the consumer does not sign the relevant agreement on returning, transferring and stopping the card before handling the card, when he gets the card, he has already acquiesced that the merchant needs to pay for the card transfer. Before handling various consumer cards such as fitness cards, you need to read the relevant agreements carefully, ask whether the fitness card can be extended or transferred or returned in case of illness, business trip, etc., and sign the relevant payment agreement for returning, transferring and stopping the card. When signing the relevant consumer card agreement, in order to protect your legitimate rights and interests, you must read the terms carefully. If you find anything unclear or unreasonable in the terms, you should raise it in time.

   In addition to high transfer fees and prohibition of card transfer, it is also difficult for many consumers to return the card.

   In December 2016, consumer Mr. Chen complained to Hebei Consumers Association that in September 2015, he applied for an annual card with an amount of 2,300 yuan in a gym in Shijiazhuang. Since then, Mr. Chen has been suffering from illness and needs chemotherapy. The doctor’s advice is not suitable for exercise. The previous annual card was not used, and Mr. Chen proposed to return the card to the gym. The other party refused to refund the money on the grounds that there are clauses in the contract, such as "The contract shall not be terminated except for force majeure" and "The service cannot be accepted due to its own reasons, and the individual shall bear the responsibility".

   Hebei Consumers Association believes that after the establishment of the contract, the objective situation has undergone major changes that are not commercial risks and cannot be foreseen by the parties at the time of conclusion of the contract. It is obviously unfair for one party to continue to perform the contract or the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved. If the consumer proposes to change or terminate the contract, the operator should change or terminate the contract accordingly according to the principle of fairness. It is illegal for the operator not to change or cancel the conformity. In other words, consumers have the right to terminate the contract according to law in special circumstances.
