Lantau taxi fare conversion table for collection
The Transport Department today (Saturday) announced that the Lantau taxi fare conversion tables showing the existing fare scales as against the new fare scales to be effective from July 14 this year would be available for collection by taxi owners from Monday (July 10).
A spokesman for the department said the fare increase was still subject to the Legislative Council's consent.
The fare conversion table should be displayed at a prominent position inside a taxi before the taximeter is recalibrated and sealed by the Transport Department during their half-yearly inspections, the spokesman said. Taxi owners can collect the tables at:
* Islands District Office,
Mui Wo Sub-office,
ground floor, Mui Wo Government Offices,
No 2 Ngan Kwong Wan Road,
Mui Wo, Lantau Island; and
* Public Vehicles Section, Transport Department, third floor, United Centre,
95 Queensway, Hong Kong.
Taxi owners should produce their taxi registration documents when collecting the conversion tables.
