Uber Warns Hong Kong Users About New Ride-Hailing Rules
Uber, the ride-sharing company, is telling its users in Hong Kong that the government might make new rules.
These rules could mean there are fewer Uber drivers or cars on the road.
Uber thinks this could make it harder for drivers to make money and could make people wait longer for rides.
The government is planning to announce these rules soon.
Uber has become popular in Hong Kong, but the local taxi companies don't like it because they say it takes away their business.
Another ride-sharing company from China, Didi Global Inc., might start competing with Uber in Hong Kong too.
Uber is warning Hong Kong users about potential new ride-hailing regulations.
The regulations could limit the number of Uber drivers or vehicles.
Uber says such limits could reduce driver earnings and increase wait times.
Hong Kong is expected to release new ride-hailing rules in the coming months.
