Taxi drivers have to charge according to their taximeters. From April 9, 2017, if taximeters are yet to be adjusted to reflect the new fares, taxi drivers have to display the fare conversion tables issued by the TD (see Annex). Taxi passengers have to pay the new fares according to the conversion tables. When taxi drivers charge fares according to the conversion tables, the fare amount based on the new fares has to be written down on fare receipts issued to taxi passengers.
Members of the public may call the 1823 Call Centre or browse the TD website at www.td.gov.hk for more details on the new taxi fares.
