新界的士的歷史

In the past, many different models were used as taxis. Since the 1970s, Japanese cars replaced the various European models used earlier. Among them, Toyota Crown (Toyota Comfort) and Nissan Cedric had always been the most popular.
All taxis bear a semi-circular green plate on the front grille, and at the back of the vehicle indicating the number of seats available. Throughout history, most Hong Kong taxis have been 4-door saloons with bench seats in the front and can carry up to 5 passengers. In the early 1980s, 4-passenger taxis were introduced. Smaller saloons such as Nissan Bluebird (910), Nissan Sunny (B12), Toyota Corona (CT141) and Mitsubishi Lancer were used. However, these were all phased out by mid-1990s. Since then, all Hong Kong taxis have been 5-passenger vehicles.
Today, almost all taxis in Hong Kong are Toyota Comfort (YXS10), the minority being Nissan Cedric (Y31) saloons, and Australian Ford Falcon estate cars.
On 29 May 2007, there were reports that plans are afoot to introduce the LTI-licensed, Chinese Geely-manufactured, LPG-powered TX4 London Black Cabs into the Hong Kong taxi service market. A feasibility study is under way between the Hong Kong Productivity Council and Geely.[11][12]

Although they serve the Airport and Disneyland, they do not serve Tung Chung and the rest of Lantau

首先，香港的士分為 市區的士、新界的士 及 大嶼山的士。
當中新界的士和大嶼山的士都有規範的服務範圍，所以牌價和乘客收費亦較低。
這原意是給市民有較多選擇，實在無可口非。

不過還有一點很重要，新界的士是 可以 返 荃灣 的！
