“Uber Hong Kong has warned that a proposed cap of up to 15,000 ride-hailing permits could trigger a 70 per cent increase in fares”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While one web search result mentions that Hong Kong authorities plan to finalize a cap on ride-hailing vehicles, none of the provided evidence contains the specific figures regarding a '15,000 permit cap' or a '70 per cent increase in fares' attributed to Uber Hong Kong. The Wikipedia results are irrelevant as they refer to the Uber Cup in badminton.
