Basis for decision on the way forward on NT taxi fare concession


 In response to media enquiry on government's basis for a decision on the way forward on New Territories (NT) taxi temporary fare concession, a spokesman for the Environment, Transport and Works said the following today (June 19):

 "We understand the concerns of the trade and members of the Legislative Council and we have considered the matter.  We will decide on the way forward on the NT taxi temporary fare concession on the basis of the majority view reflected by the NT taxi trade survey results.  As for other related information such as passengers' opinion and the operating statistics of NT taxis collected by Transport Department (TD), these will be mainly for reference purpose.

 TD will discuss with the trade to finalize the relevant details."
