HONG KONG: Taxi drivers and passengers on Friday (July 18) welcomed Hong Kong’s new mandatory electronic payment and in-car surveillance measures, saying the measures will help combat malpractice and restore public trust in the taxi trade.
However, they urged the authorities to minimise disruptions to drivers’ livelihoods, noting that many elderly, tech-illiterate drivers may struggle to adapt due to the limited time and resources available for training.
