Saw this traffic policeman (and his colleague) on duty in the morning while on our way for breakfast… I guess they were giving a ticket to the taxi driver for illegal parking.
Traffic police on duty - bad luck for the taxi driver
Hong Kong policemen were quite plentiful; we saw them quite often in various places… Hong Kong streets should be quite safe and peaceful.
The taxis were quite a scene too… we saw it at every corner of the main streets. There were probably more taxis on the road then private cars (ok, I might be exaggerating… but there were really a lot of taxis on the street).
Btw, Hong Kong taxis are not as expensive as we thought. Hong Kong does have a cheap and effective public transport (mass transit and buses etc.) that makes taxi an expensive option… but if you are travelling in a group of 3 or 4, it is not a bad idea to grab a cab to save some time.
