The Hong Kong government has proposed new regulations for ride-hailing services like Uber. The plan requires platforms, cars, and drivers to be licensed before operating.

The Hong Kong government laid out proposals on Tuesday to regulate ride-hailing platforms, such as Uber, following years of talks and complaints from the city's licensed taxi drivers that they face unfair competition.

The HK gov't has proposed capping the number of e-hailing cars allowed in the city, though the regulatory framework proposal gives no details of the specific limit.
