    Its a nice try. At least they are getting the hint that they need to do a bit of innovation instead of sitting on their asses and whingeing.

    I just want an app to hail a cab and settle the bill from my phone. But I don't really want the 'premium' service and I sure as hell don't want the drivers wearing some pansy yellow uniform.

    Forget the app. i just want drivers who would just cross the harbor without the hassle (changing shift soon/I don't know my way on the island/Kowloon). This happens really too much in my opinion. Upping service goes a loooong way.

    The Quality Taxi Steering Committee, formed by local taxi drivers, is applying for a subsidy from the Environmental Department to purchase 10 electric-powered luxury taxis.

    Probably. There are other electric cars they could use - BYD e6, Nissan Leaf, Renault Fluence among others - but none of them scream 'luxury'
