It will be interesting to see how many of our local Sai Kung taxi drivers are amongst the short listed candidates. Maybe they should have a similar scheme for the worst taxi driver – there would be many nominations!
The Transport Department (TD) said today that the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme 2018 is now open for public voting. Members of the public are welcome to cast their votes online for quality taxi drivers until 19 December.
To encourage taxi drivers to provide quality services and thereby enhance the image of taxi trade, the TD and the Committee on Taxi Service Quality (CTSQ) launched the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme to commend taxi drivers for their service excellency.
This year, over 200 nominations were received, among which 50 were shortlisted for public voting. Ten of the nominees obtaining the highest combined scores from the public voting and a professional assessment panel will be given “quality taxi driver” awards.
To encourage the public participation, members of the public who vote for awarded taxi drivers may win a “Smart Voters” prize. A total of 100 prize winners will be presented with souvenirs. The lucky draw result will be announced in early March 2019.
The Prize Presentation Ceremony of the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme 2018 will be held on January 18, 2019.
A list of the 50 shortlisted nominees and details of the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme 2018 are available at www.ctsq.org.hk/votetaxidriver/index.php.
