Uber in Macau has announced that it is rolling out a new option for its customers to pay drivers in cash. The new payment method will allow Uber users to select a cash payment option before requesting a ride. Customers can then settle the fare with the driver directly at the ride’s conclusion. According to the Uber announcement, the option will be rolled out gradually in Macau over the next few weeks and as such the selection may not be immediately available.
Uber commenced operations in Macau in October last year. After having served the territory for less than a year, the company announced in August 2016 that it would withdraw from the territory. In explaining this move, Uber stated that they had received more than MOP10 million in driver fines. However, local support for its continued operation saw Uber executives reverse their decision in September 2016.
