Over 1,000 sign up for Hong Kong’s new taxi, ride-hailing test
Over 1,000 applicants have registered for Hong Kong’s new combined taxi and ride-hailing test, replacing the standalone taxi driver examination. The test allows successful candidates to apply for either a taxi driving license or a ride-hailing vehicle permit, with lawmakers expecting increased participation to meet demand as the regulatory regime takes effect next year.
