Explanatory Note
These regulations increase the fares payable
for hiring taxis and at the same time make the necessary
adjustments for metrication purposes. The new fares
are
(a) $4.00 for the first 2 kilometres and 50 cents
for every kilometre thereafter for Hong Kong
and Kowloon taxis; and
(b)
$2.40 for the first 2 kilometres and 30 cents
for every kilometre thereafter for New
Territories taxis.
The charges for waiting time will be in respect
of every 2 minutes or part thereof. The previous charges were in respect of every 22 minutes or part thereof. As
a result, there is an increase in these charges.
Regulation 3 makes transitional provisions to
enable taxis to charge in accordance with the new fares
until such time as their taximeters have been converted
to record them.
