New Urban Taxi Fare (since 30 Nov 2008)

New taxi fare scheme applied to all Urban Taxi (red color) started 30 Nov 2008. In addition to an increase in base fares, there is an incremental increase from HK$1.40 to HK$1.50 up to nine kilometers. After that the increment drops to HK$1, meaning a trip that used to cost HK$100 will now cost HK$95.50 and a ride that cost HK$300 will now be 20 percent cheaper.

First 2 kilometres or any part thereof HK$18

Every subsequent 200 metres or part thereof / Every period of 1 minute waiting time or part thereof
  • For meter fare below $70.5 HK$ 1.50
  • For meter fare of $70.5 and above HK$ 1

Since most taxi have not changed their fare meter, so, please make sure they charge you a correct fare according to the fare table (paper form convertion table).
