HONG KONG: Singapore’s ride-hailing platform Tada will expand into Hong Kong come November, working with taxi fleets for a start, as it seeks to gain a foothold in a market where Uber has positioned itself as the main alternative to the city’s notoriously poor cab services.

The move comes as the government plans to regulate private car-hailing services, which remain largely illegal, unlike in other parts of Asia such as Singapore and mainland China.
