Didi Global announced on Monday 27 November that its online taxi service app is experiencing "system outages" after users in several cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, reported difficulty ordering taxi services at night.

The company apologized for this issue through its official Weibo account and stated it was trying quickly to fix it.

Drivers and passengers began complaining about this problem at around 22.30 local time (14.30 GMT). Posting on Weibo, which shows the user's location, shows that this problem occurs in several provinces, from Zhejiang in the east to Jilin in the north.

The app began allowing bookings about an hour later, although some people complained that it was still slow, and system problems continued to emerge intermittently while long queues were formed to get taxi services.

Didi is China's largest online taxi service company, with its services in the country generating an average daily transaction of 31.3 million in the third quarter.
