The Transport Department (TD) said today (October 4) that to encourage taxi drivers to provide quality services and thereby enhance the service standard and image of the taxi industry, the TD and the Committee on Taxi Service Quality (CTSQ) will launch the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme to commend taxi drivers for their service excellency. The scheme is now open for public nominations until October 31.
      
     To nominate outstanding taxi drivers, members of the public can send the completed nomination form to the TD by post, facsimile or e-mail. They can also submit the form online through GovHK. The form can be downloaded from the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk/filemanager/en/content_276/taxi_driver_commendation_scheme_nomination_form.pdf).
      
     After the nomination period, members of the public can learn about the good conduct and performance of the nominated taxi drivers and vote for their favorite taxi driver on the designated website. In addition to online voting, they can cast their votes by post and facsimile. The Prize Presentation Ceremony of Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme will be held in January 2019.
      
     For enquiries, please call 2829 5326.
