Hong Kong has excellent taxis. Cheap, ubiquitous, I forget but they may have been cash only. I forget the exact prices but I want to say my average trip was like $4 and it was like only $12 to take a trip across the city.

Uber was thoroughly outcompeted. Slower to get one, four times the price, but I guess the cars were usually Tesla or something similarly fancy.

I was in Hong Kong last week. The cabs are indeed cash only, making it extremely annoying to take one as a business expense.

Ubers were everywhere and most certainly not outcompeted as you suggest, the longest I had to wait was 4 minutes. With a huge expat community not everyone can speak Chinese and being able to input the address ahead of time skipped a lot of mucking around with translation apps when a driver can't speak or read English.
