1What authorization must the private car itself have before it is used for licensed ride-hailing passenger service?

A.A valid ride-hailing vehicle permit

B.A taxi fleet certificate

C.An approved taximeter seal

D.An urban taxi licence

Explanation: Licensed ride-hailing passenger service must be provided by a private car issued with a valid ride-hailing vehicle permit. Separate requirements apply to the driver and platform.

2Who may drive a permitted ride-hailing vehicle to provide ride-hailing passenger service?

A.Only the individual registered owner of that vehicle

B.Any driver employed by the platform

C.Any holder of a taxi driver identity plate

D.Any family member of the registered owner

Explanation: A ride-hailing vehicle must be registered in an individual's name and may be driven for ride-hailing passenger service only by that registered owner. This is the owner-driver requirement.

3Under the licensed ride-hailing framework covered by the combined test, how may a ride-hailing vehicle obtain a passenger trip?

A.Only through an order booked and dispatched by a licensed ride-hailing platform

B.Through a street hail, provided the permitted car displays its ride-hailing vehicle certificate

C.Through a booking made directly with the owner-driver without using a licensed platform

D.Through either a licensed-platform order or a queue at a designated taxi stand

Explanation: The licensed private-car service takes trips booked and dispatched through a platform with a valid ride-hailing service licence. Street hails are available to taxis.

4What must a ride-hailing vehicle display while providing ride-hailing passenger service?

A.A ride-hailing vehicle certificate displayed as specified by the Commissioner for Transport

B.A taxi seating-capacity plate displayed at each end of the vehicle

C.The driver's ride-hailing vehicle driving permit displayed on the windscreen

A.Urban red, New Territories green, Lantau blue

B.Urban blue, New Territories red, Lantau green

C.Urban green, New Territories blue, Lantau red

D.All three types white

Explanation: General urban taxis are red, New Territories taxis are green, and Lantau taxis are blue. Fleet taxis may use approved liveries and indicate their operating areas with colour-coded fleet taxi plates.

6Which statement about a Hong Kong taxi fleet licence is correct?

A.It does not replace each taxi's existing licence and is not mandatory for every taxi business

B.It replaces the individual taxi licences once all vehicles are operated by the same fleet company

C.It is optional but may be held only by an individual taxi owner-driver rather than a company

D.It binds the fleet to licence conditions but exempts its member taxis from ordinary taxi law

Explanation: The taxi fleet regime supplements the ordinary taxi licensing system. A fleet licence neither replaces existing taxi licences nor becomes mandatory for every taxi business; the fleet licensee must be a Hong Kong-registered company.

7If a taxi receipt printer is not working, how should the driver issue a requested fare receipt?

A.Complete the prescribed pre-printed receipt by hand

B.Refuse because only machine receipts are valid

B.Taxi seven; ride-hailing vehicle six

C.Both six

Explanation: The official operation booklet states a maximum passenger seating capacity of six for a taxi and seven for a ride-hailing vehicle, which is classified as a private car.

9How are fares for licensed ride-hailing trips set?

A.The licensed platform may set fares but must inform passengers of the arrangements before the journey

B.The platform must use the statutory taxi-meter schedule but may disclose a separate booking fee beforehand

C.The owner-driver may set the final fare after arrival if the platform displayed an estimated range beforehand

HK Taxi / Ride-hailing Test: Suggested Study Strategy

1Know both current combined-test thresholds: Part A has 30 questions (20 operation, 9 locations, 1 route), requiring at least 25 correct; Part B has 35 Road Users’ Code questions, requiring at least 30 correct. Pass both within the overall 45-minute sitting.

2Study the current combined Operation Booklet: taxi and ride-hailing permissions and the owner-driver rule, pick-up rules, fares and e-payment, receipts, driver identity, Taxi-Driver-Offence Points, seat belts and child restraints, mobile devices, baggage and animals. Taxis must install a journey recording system only from a date the Government will announce.

3Learn the official location table by district and landmark type, especially hospitals, hotels, government offices, tourist spots, and major commercial buildings.

4For route questions, practise choosing the most direct viable route under normal traffic conditions while ignoring tunnel toll as the official guide instructs.

5For Road Users' Code questions, focus on speed, following distance, signs, markings, pedestrian crossings, adverse weather, stopping restrictions, and emergency duties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which test does this set cover after the 2026 transition?

The Taxi and Ride-hailing Vehicle Combined Written Test opened for applications on 3 August 2026, with tests from September. TD marks the legacy Taxi Written Test closed to applications. This practice set covers the current combined test. Existing legacy pass results retain the transition rights stated by TD.

What are the current structure and passing marks?

There are 65 questions in 45 minutes. Part A has 30 questions: 20 operation, 9 locations and 1 route. Pass A with at least 25/30 and B, Road Users’ Code, with at least 30/35 in the same sitting. Passing one part alone does not give an overall pass.

Which official materials should I study?

Use the current Taxi and Ride-hailing Vehicle Operation Booklet, the combined test guide, and the June 2020 Road Users’ Code together with current TD supplementary scope notices. The new operation booklet covers both service models and has updated place/street answers; old taximeter-only notes do not represent its full scope.

Does passing automatically authorize taxi or ride-hailing driving?

No. Complete the applicable pre-service course and satisfy the relevant residence, licensing and permit conditions. The pass result is valid for 3 years; the relevant course certificate normally must be within 1 year before application. A valid taxi full-licence holder can apply directly for a ride-hailing driving permit under TD’s stated route.

How do unsuccessful candidates reapply?

They may make a fresh application immediately after result announcement, using the current TD 321 postal or GovHK appointment process and a new test form. Select the normal driving-test appointment application, not Repeater Early. Appointment timing depends on availability; consult current TD instructions for fees and documents.

Where is the test and what languages are available?

The computerized test is at 2/F, Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon. Candidates choose Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or English. Bring the registered valid identity document, full Hong Kong driving licence and appointment letter, and follow the invigilator’s instructions.
