Welcome to this web page.

Taxi is playing an unique and important role in the transportation system in Hong Kong, carrying 1,300,000 passengers a day. It provides citizens and tourists with personalized point-to-point transportation services. Last year and January this year, the Quality Taxi Services Steering Committee successfully implemented various quality taxi service programmes, including the Taxi Driver Award Scheme and the Taxi Service Quarterly Newsletter, and the Quality Taxi Services Forum. I appreciate very much the guest speakers who freely shared their valuable experiences in the industry at the forum. Hong Kong is a city of vitality and energy. In order to be in line with the development of the society, it is important to improve the quality of taxi services and to enhance the competence and customer service spirit of the taxi drivers. The Transport Department is ready to work in this direction in partnership with the taxi trade.

The Quality Taxi Services Forum held on 10 January this year is the first one among similar activities held in Hong Kong. The successful launching of the Quality Taxi Services Forum is attributed to the sponsorships by Crown Motors Limited and Dao Heng Finance Limited. I would like to express my hearty thanks to the efforts of the all staffs and the support from fellow taxi drivers. The Quality Taxi Services Forum is a rare opportunity for the Hong Kong taxi industry to discuss the new ideas of quality taxi services in Hong Kong.
