Sharing maps of the port’s Public Transport Interchange and its pickup points for franchised buses, urban and New Territories cabs, officials reminded those who wanted to book ride-hailing services to use only licensed taxi fleets.

12306 reminds passengers not to fall prey to ticket purchase “acceleration packages” or speed reducers

If they were identified as abnormal access, it would be slower. The railway department reminded passengers to avoid pitfalls rationally.
