San Francisco-based technology company Uber has hiked its fare up to 80 percent in Hong Kong after reviewing its business there. The firm just recently suspended its services in the neighbouring Chinese city of Macau for the second time.

Starting on the Monday charges for UberX and UberASSIST rides would ascend by up to 80 percent to begin at HK$45 (US$5.75), and a ride with the pricier UberBLACK would begin at HK$65 rather than HK$50.
