Hong Kong authorities report 229 taxi driver offences have been logged since the implementation of a demerit points system in 2024. Over half of these offences, according to Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan, involve the refusal of passenger hire. The information was provided in a written response to lawmaker Chris Ip on Wednesday. The demerit points system aims to improve taxi service quality and address passenger complaints. Details regarding the specific nature of the remaining offences were not immediately available. This data highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring fair and accessible taxi services within Hong Kong. The government continues to monitor the system's effectiveness and address issues as they arise.
