💨 Abstract

The Hong Kong government proposed regulations for online ride-hailing services like Uber, requiring platforms, cars, and drivers to be licensed. Key points include business registration, operating experience, financial capability, and insurance for platforms. Drivers must have a valid license, no serious traffic convictions, pass a test, and complete training. The government plans to set a vehicle quota and annual inspections. Uber welcomed the safety focus but expressed concern over the proposed cap on vehicles.
