HANOI -- Russian on-demand ride service inDriver has gained a toehold in Vietnam, starting in outlying areas ahead of an expansion into major metropolitan markets with its app feature of letting passengers negotiate their own fares.

The company, which has contracts with drivers of 260 cars and 300 motorbikes, debuted in such cities as the central beach resort of Da Nang, according to local media. It expanded last month to Can Tho in the south, known for its floating markets, and operates in the northern port city of Hai Phong and the central coastal province of Thua Thien Hue.
