Thinking about traveling to the most
badass
city in the world but don't know quite where to start? Here's a general idea of how much getting around costs in a
taxi
in
Hong Kong
. Keep in mind that a
taxi
is probably the most expensive means of transportation in
Hong Kong
.
All prices are in
Hong Kong
dollars and are as of June, 2001.
First 2.0
kilometers
are $12.5
Every 0.2
kilometers
$1.2 is added.
Every minute of waiting, $1.2 is added.
For every
animal
on the taxi, including
birds
, $4 is added.
For every piece of
luggage
that cannot rest on your lap, $4 is added.
If the
taxi
was called by
telephone
, another $4 is added.
However, anything aiding the disabled (such as
crutches
or a
wheelchair
) is free. It even says so on the little
fare
sheet.
Remember that the
red taxis
will only take you within
Kowloon
and the island of
Hong Kong
itself, and the
green taxis
will only take you within the
New Territories
. If you're really a hardcore Hong Kong traveller, you also may know that the
light blue taxis
will take you to
Sha Tin
and a couple of outlying territories.
For quick reference, the value of the
Hong Kong dollar
is roughly 7.7 HK dollars to 1 US dollar. Usually I just divide prices by 8 while I'm over there buying stuff.
