What is the "Taxi Refusal and Overcharge from Airport" scam in Hong Kong?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some taxi drivers at Hong Kong International Airport refuse tourists whose destination is inconvenient or short, which is illegal. Others quote flat rates to Kowloon or Hong Kong Island that exceed the metered plus tunnel toll fare, targeting tourists unfamiliar with legitimate pricing. All HK taxis must use the meter. Report any driver who refuses a fare or quotes a non-metered price to the Transport Complaints Unit. The Airport Express train is a faster and cheaper alternative to most central destinations.
