Taxis running in the
city are
red in colour, while those in the
New Territories are in
green and
blue in
Lantau Island. Only the red taxi can go anywhere, while the green and blue taxi can run within their own boundaries. It is offensed to law, if the taxi driver fails to drive you to the destinations.
The taxis can be difficult to hail from the street as they can't stop anywhere with an unbroken yellow line next to the kerb.
Extra fees are charged if passengers have luggage or when required to travel on toll ways.
Passengers can request a receipt if required.
At times it is very difficult to catch a taxi, like on a rainy day and around 4pm in the afternoon (when drivers normally change shifts). It is advisable to first call a taxi company and book a taxi. You will be charged 5 dollars extra.
