Didi, Uber, Ola and Bolt: compare which rideshare app offers passengers and drivers the best deal

With Didi launching in Sydney we weigh up each of Australia's major rideshare platforms

On 16 March, Chinese ridesharing app Didi will launch in Sydney. Already available in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, the app promises "a safe, reliable and value-for-money way to get around", according to Lyn Ma, Didi Australia's general manager.

That "value-for-money" statement will certainly be true in the first few weeks following the app's launch - it is offering riders who sign up before launch a 50% discount on their first four weeks of rides, up to the value of $1200.
