Doubling punishment on Uber drivers ‘might not curb the illegal services in HK’


Last month, a group of cabbies vented their anger about the incursion of Uber by smashing two taxis with hammers outside the Department of Justice in Central.

Efforts to crack down on ride-hailing services such as Uber by doubling the punishments for their drivers may not have the desired effect, Hong Kong legislators said on Saturday.

The remarks came after the Transport Department proposed the beefed-up sanctions.
