The Transport Department announced Thursday that it has discussed a new system with taxi drivers for managing queues and fleet vehicle operations at the revamped Huanggang border crossing. In a social media update, officials stated that both unoccupied urban and New Territories taxi drivers, as well as those with pre-arranged journeys, must acquire a queue number at a buffer area prior to heading to the taxi stand or the designated passenger boarding zone at the public transport hub.
Service representatives would be present at the location to effectively manage the deployment of fleet taxis, facilitating pre-arranged travelers to board their vehicles swiftly and efficiently. For passengers making pre-arranged fleet taxi reservations, a dedicated lounge has been established inside the Huanggang port building to accommodate their needs.
Arriving travelers must first visit a service desk inside the lounge, present their pre-arranged taxi's license plate number to a service ambassador for registration, and then observe a digital board displaying arrival times before proceeding to the boarding area, according to the department.
