The move marks Uber’s first new entry to an Asian market for years. It sold its China business to Didi Global Inc in 2016 and ceded populous Southeast Asia to Grab Holdings Inc two years later but continues to operate in big Asian markets including India, Japan and South Korea.
(Feb 3): Uber Technologies Inc is rolling out its ride-hailing service in the Chinese gambling hub of Macau, expanding into a new Asian market for the first time in years.
Riders from Tuesday (Feb 3) will be able to book and pay for taxis in the city using multiple languages, the company said in a statement. It’s also offering a limousine service between Macau and neighbouring Hong Kong, though trips must be booked 24 hours in advance.
