All taxis are regulated and drivers are required to clearly display their names and car numbers on the dashboard. Having your destination written in Chinese characters can make communication easier. The drivers are also required by law to hand over lost property to the police station as soon as possible within six hours. Should you misplace anything during the trip, you can contact the police.
Taxis come in different colours, depending on the area that they are allowed to service: red taxis operate in urban areas such as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon; green taxis in the New Territories; and blue on Lantau Island.
