That's too bad that the fares went up. Oh well, these things are bound to happen.

I agree with this. HKG taxi drivers can be a real pain in the butt sometimes before and right after you get on (eg, demanding a million bucks to take you to the top of Peak, insisting on taking you to HKIA when you just wanna go to Kowloon Sta, refusing to take you if they don't like your destination). But to my knowledge I've never experienced dishonesty from HK cab drivers when it comes to bs upcharges beyond the agreed-upon price.
