Taxi driver’s generosity makes for a memorable taxi ride this LNY

A family's taxi ride turned into a heartwarming tale of generosity when the taxi driver presented red packets to their baby, spreading warmth and festive cheer online.  

The grateful parents shared their experience on Facebook, noting they took a taxi back to Tseung Kwan O after visiting relatives in Sai Kung on the evening of the second day of LNY (Jan 30).  

Upon seeing the parents holding the baby, the taxi driver offered the baby a red packet as they exited the vehicle.  

The poster expressed embarrassment, mentioning that the tips they gave were less than the red packet money and wished the taxi driver with the license plate SB457x good health and fortune on his journey.  

Brightened by this experience, the poster encouraged the public not to judge taxi drivers based on stereotypes, hoping for a more peaceful and safer road in the new year.  

In the uploaded photo, the phrase “family is the most important” was printed on the red envelope, attracting numerous comments praising the driver’s heartfelt gesture.  

Many netizens expressed happiness for the poster, recognizing the driver’s act as a good deed and praising him for embodying the saying, “It is better to give than to receive."  

Meanwhile, others shared similar experiences, recalling a bus driver who had given his children a red packet, highlighting the sense of community during festive time.
