Uber is continuing its rollout across Asia after the private car booking service launched in Hong Kong today.

The service is initially in a ‘testing’ mode, as is common with all Uber launches, and is priced at HK$2.00 per minute or HK$9.32 per kilometer with a base fair of HK$35.00.

The launch follows a recent rollout in Indonesia’s capital city Jakarta, and it takes Uber to 25 cities across the Asia Pacific region. The company entered China in August last year — progressing in the country could be its toughest challenge yet.
