Riders who tap their app for an Uber ride will also be getting a message about the city’s plan to impose a cap on new licenses.

The ride-sharing company’s app now features a pop-up message that warns of “higher prices and increased wait times” if a package of proposed bills regulating for-hire vehicles makes it through City Council.

One of the bills proposes a moratorium on most new for-hire vehicle licenses while the city studies congestion, driver pay and related issues for 12 months.

“We believe New Yorkers will join us in supporting living wages for drivers and opposing a cap that will harm outer borough riders who have come to rely on Uber because of the unreliable, or non-existent subway,” said Uber spokeswoman Danielle Filson.

On Friday, the company delivered a similar message to its riders via email as part of a wider TV, radio and social media campaign.

The tactics are similar to those the firm employed in 2015 in successfully defeating a moratorium that was pushed at the time by Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Council spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino said the package of bills is intended to reduce congestion and boost drivers across the for-hire vehicle industry.

“When riders see the bills, they’ll see we aren’t cutting any existing service and we have created a thoughtful proposal to address some of the major problems in the industry,” she said.
