Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Taxicabs around the world

I have restored this as 'main' from 'see also' because:

• This article amplifies a section of Taxicabs around the world;
• I am building a hierarchy of Taxicab-Taxicabs around the world-specific countries and 'main' is needed for consistency and to help the reader find their way up the hierarchy. TerriersFan 19:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transfer of taxi licenses?

Would someone please add a section about how HK taxi licenses are transferred? Are there medallion brokers as in countries with large taxi fleets, or is there some other method? SONORAMA (talk) 02:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taxi fare increase

FYI: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/200802/20/P200802200228.htm and http://www.td.gov.hk/transport_in_hong_kong/public_transport/taxi/taxi_fare_of_hong_kong/index.htm
Actually, the article has no info about exact taxi fares. Not sure if that's intentional. aditsu (talk) 18:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Price information would be very encyclopaedic. WP:NOT#DIRECTORY says "prices of a product should not be quoted in an article unless the price can be sourced and there is a justified reason for its mention. Examples of justified reasons include notable sales of rare collectors items, prices relating to discussion of a price war, and historical discussion of economic inflation."
