Uber CEO urges Hong Kong to set realistic ride-hailing quota as city prepares new licensing regime
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told Hong Kong officials that the forthcoming ride-hailing quota should mirror the platform’s existing scale—about 30,000 drivers and users from more than 100 countries—or risk service gaps. He said Uber could accept a per-trip levy to support taxi operators if the overall framework remains growth-friendly. Hong Kong plans to issue the first ride-hailing licences in 2026 following July’s legalisation of the sector.
