Starting this January, China's market in taxi hailing apps has become a battlefield between two mobile apps, Didi and Kuaidi.

Both apps launched similar subsidy programs, from which passengers and drivers can receive 10 to 15 Yuan, or around two dollars, when they use the apps and finish the transactions through e-payment.

By the end of Q1 this year, Didi has poured in 1.4 billion Yuan on subsidies.
至第一季度末，嘀嘀已经投入14亿元的补贴。

Its total customer base has reached 100 million, and daily usage has reached 5.2 million successful orders, with 178 cities covered.
其客户总数已经达到了1亿，而日常使用已经达到了520万成功的订单，覆盖178个城市。

Meanwhile, although Kuaidi did not disclose its total user numbers, the app's daily usage has reached 6.2 million, and it covers 261 cities.
同时，虽然快的没有透露其总用户数量，应用程序的每日使用量已达到620万，而且涵盖261个城市。

Through the competition, the two taxi calling apps have dominated 90% of China's market.

Even after most of the subsidies were cut this month, a quarter of the consumers have continued to use those apps.
