Uber China merged with ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing — its biggest rival in China — in a $35 billion deal Monday.

Didi started generating a lot of interest in May when Apple invested $1 billion in the company — marking the largest single investment Didi Chuxing had ever received, the company wrote in a statement at the time.

Scroll down to see the many services Didi offers:

Didi offers seven services through its app, all of which are listed in a grid once you open it.

The app lets you hail a Chinese taxi or private car. You can also book a chauffeur for an extended period of time.

You can also find and purchase tickets for a Didi bus. Didi has created 33 routes in Beijing and 10 in Shenzen with plans to expand.

Here you see the process for finding a Didi bus based on your start and end location. A bus ride costs between $1.10 and $2.10 and are sourced from licensed travel agencies and leasing companies.
