Each design decision was thoughtfully made with our users in mind. We believe these changes will be well-received by our community, offering a better user experience for all users.”

Mr. Zou also emphasized the potential impact of these upgrades on trip requests and revenue generation, stating, “We believe these upgrades are likely to produce a meaningful increase in both trip requests to carpooling, ride-hailing, and delivery services and RydeAds revenue going forward.”
