Uber may also enter Yangon, according to multiple reports from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, but no timeframe has been given on Uber's entry into the city.An Uber spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that it will "look forward to introducing" its ride-sharing technology in Myanmar "very soon." It is currently hiring for two positions in the country, according to TechCrunch.
Yangon, has a population of about 5.21 million people and approximately 50,000 taxis.
"In some countries, there has been controversy between taxi associations and Uber, but in Yangon there is no taxi association and it is a good stage at which to start an Uber system," Phyo Min Thein, Yangon's chief minister, was reported as saying.
The city does already have ride-hailing startups of its own, like Hello Cabs and Oway Group. Myanmar has had vibrant growth in its internet businesses after the country emerged from military rule.
There were fewer than 10,000 Internet users in Myanmar before 2007; the country now claims to have over 39 million Internet users.
