Taxicabs around the world
editI have restored this as 'main' from 'see also' because:
- This article amplifies a section of Taxicabs around the world;
- I am building a hierarchy of Taxicab-Taxicabs around the world-specific countries and 'main' is needed for consistency and to help the reader find their way up the hierarchy. TerriersFan 19:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Transfer of taxi licenses?
editWould someone please add a section about how HK taxi licenses are transferred? Are there medallion brokers as in countries with large taxi fleets, or is there some other method? SONORAMA (talk) 02:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Taxi fare increase
editFYI: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/200802/20/P200802200228.htm and http://www.td.gov.hk/transport_in_hong_kong/public_transport/taxi/taxi_fare_of_hong_kong/index.htm
Actually, the article has no info about exact taxi fares. Not sure if that's intentional.

- Price information would be very encyclopaedic. WP:NOT#DIRECTORY says "prices of a product should not be quoted in an article unless the price can be sourced and there is a justified reason for its mention. Examples of justified reasons include notable sales of rare collectors items, prices relating to discussion of a price war, and historical discussion of economic inflation."

Employment
editIs it correct that the drivers hire the taxi for a fee and are not paid a standard wage, but there income depends on their takings? Can we put something into the article about this? Enlil Ninlil (talk) 05:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

The taxis' tariffs and service areas are indicated by the colour of their livery. Red taxis, seen here, have the highest fares but serve the greatest area. Green taxis serve the New Territories and are less expensive. Blue taxis are the least expensive, but are limited to southern Lantau Island.Photograph: Diego Delso
