Share Taxi
See also: zh:泥鯭的One form of operations is that the taxi is operated as a shared taxi. In late night a taxicab is operated over long distances whilst the driver only drives off when the cab is fully loaded. In turn the cab driver charges a fare that is lower than the prescribed fare that would appear on the taxi meter. The passengers wait aboard the cab until it is fully loaded, and they may not necessarily know each other on the trip.
This form of taxi operation is considered illegal under the laws of Hong Kong because the driver charges a fare different from the one on the taxi meter.
