Uber has introduced a motorcycle taxi service in the congested streets of Bangkok. 优步在拥堵成患的泰国首都曼谷推出了“摩托出租车”服务。 The move is an effort to counter what rival ride-hailing apps are doing -- competitor Grab already offers a motorcycle option in the Thai capital, called GrabBike. 优步的竞争对手、打车软件公司“Grab”已经先于优步推出了这种服务——“GrabBike”，于是优步赶紧跟上。 It isn't Uber's first go at motorcycles. In 2017, the company launched a moto-taxi option in Paris for a few weeks as a short-term experiment. It hasn't tried another motorcycle feature until the Bangkok one, which it has designed for cities in developing countries like Thailand, according to spokesman Karun Arya. 但此举对优步来说并不新鲜。2017年，优步就曾在巴黎短期试水过“摩的”，但运行几周后就销声匿迹了。不过据优步发言人卡伦·艾尔亚透露，公司其实一直考虑在泰国等发展中国家的城市推出这一服务。 |
