TAXI WRITTEN TEST
****
The Transport Department announced today that with effect from
January 2, 1974, written tests for applicants for taxi driving licences
will be conducted only in the examination hall of the Pui Ching Road
Office.
At present, taxi written tests are held at both the Rumsey Street
Licensing Office, Hong Kong, and the Pui Ching Road Office, Kowloon.
A spokesman for the department said: "In view of the limited
testing space at the Rumsey Street Office, there is a delay of some five
months for a Hong Kong applicant to be given a test.
"A new examination hall has been provided at the Pui Ching Road
Office, capable of accommodating all the candidates currently tested in
Hong Kong and Kowloon, plus an extra one third. By conducting all tests
in Kowloon, more Hong Kong candidates can be accommodated, with a reduced
waiting time."
The spokesman said that starting from the same day, all applications
for taxi written test appointments will be accepted at the Pui Ching Road
Office only.
