China Mail 15 August 1946

The Blue Taxis were first put on the road in 1928 plying for hire in Kowloon. After the war, the Company resumed service in August 1946 with a fleet of Hillman 10 H.P. taxis. The fare for the first mile was a dollar compared to 40 cents in 1941. In 1941, the Company had a fleet of 80 taxis.

Photo circa 1961, as I understand the blue taxis had an orange top. Another photo here
