Hong Kong taxi story
As early as the 1920s, there were already taxis on Hong Kong Island. The initial charging method is divided into two types: bargaining according to time and distance and charging according to meter (meter). Hong Kong taxis are divided into three types, namely urban taxis, New Territories taxis and Lantau taxis. There are two main reasons for the classification of taxis. First, because there are more taxi passengers in the urban area, the classification can avoid the lack of taxi passengers in the suburbs. Second, due to the inconvenient transportation in the suburbs, residents are more dependent on taxi services. Therefore, there is a need to set up a taxi service with a cheaper fare to specialize in suburban areas. According to data from May 2016, there are a total of 15,250 urban taxis, 2,838 New Territories taxis and 50 Lantau taxis in Hong Kong.
