New Taxi driver identity plate campaign to last for three months
The Transport Department today (October 7) reminds taxi drivers that the taxi driver identity plate (TDIP) replacement campaign which helps all taxi drivers to replace their old taxi driver identity plates free of charge will last for three months until December 31.
