香港出租车司机广泛采用数字支付系统，正值新规要求提供至少两种电子支付选项之际。支付宝香港表示其系统覆盖4.7万名司机，微信支付香港称超过4万名司机已接入。该举措将便利长期使用电子钱包的大陆游客，正值复活节及清明节假期来临。
香港约有1.8万辆出租车和4.7万名注册司机，其中4.6万名活跃，根据运输署统计。支付宝香港（蚂蚁国际子公司，阿里巴巴关联公司）周四表示，其电子支付系统已覆盖4.7万名出租车司机。微信支付香港则称超过4万名司机已接入其系统。
这些数据披露于香港政府强制出租车司机提供至少两种数字支付选项的前一天。新规要求一种基于二维码的支付，如支付宝香港、微信支付香港或中银Pay，以及一种支持八达通或信用卡的非接触式支付。
此举为多年仅使用电子钱包的大陆游客带来便利。移民署预计，从周五至下周二（涵盖复活节长周末及清明节），香港居民及游客经空中、陆路及海路关口将有644万趟出行。
