CB(1)1012/04-05(04) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on matters relating to railways Performance of Ma On Shan Rail after commissioning Purpose This paper informs Members about the performance of Ma On Shan (MOS) Rail after its commissioning on 21 December 2004, and the progress of noise monitoring of MOS Rail. Performance 2. MOS Rail has attracted an average daily patronage of 80 000 to 90 000 passenger trips since opening and achieved a single-day record of 125 000 passenger trips on 24 December 2004. All MOS Rail stations are operating smoothly and MOS Rail passengers are now generally accustomed to the interchange arrangement with East Rail at Tai Wai Station. Both Tai Wai Station and East Rail have enough capacity to handle the additional passengers resulting from the commissioning of MOS Rail. Even during the morning peak hours, most MOS Rail passengers can board the first East Rail train that arrives. 3. MOS Rail operates more than 500 trains a day. The train service delivery and punctuality rates for January 2005 were 99.92% and 99.74% respectively. These rates are above KCRC’s performance requirements as laid down in the service agreement with the Government. Improvement measures 4. Over the past two months, passengers have made a number of suggestions on MOS Rail services. As for Members’ request for follow-up actions on the noise monitoring of MOS Rail, an update on the subject is detailed in paragraphs 14 to 17. 5. To familiarise passengers with the operation of MOS Rail and the interchange arrangement at Tai Wai Station, KCRC has employed 130 temporary service ambassadors and, during the first week of operation, set up information - 1 - counters at the concourse of all MOS Rail stations to provide assistance to passengers. -

Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works Under the Shatin to Central Link Project
For Circulation C&W DC Paper No. 109/2017 Central and Western District Council Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works under the Shatin to Central Link Project Introduction 1. This paper aims to update members of the Central and Western District Council on the progress of the expansion works of Admiralty Station under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project. Background 2. The 17-kilometre SCL is a territory-wide strategic railway project linked with a number of existing and future railways to form two strategic railway corridors, namely the “East West Corridor” and the “North South Corridor”. The “East West Corridor” will be formed by extending the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai Station to Hung Hom Station where it will connect with the West Rail Line. The “North South Corridor” will extend the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station across the Victoria Harbour to Admiralty Station via Exhibition Station. The “East West Corridor” and “North South Corridor” are expected to commission in mid-2019 and the 2021 respectively. 3. Admiralty Station will become the railway transport hub on Hong Kong Island that serves as the interchange for Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, South Island Line (“SIL”) and the SCL. As part of the facilities are integrated for both the SCL and the South Island Line (East) (SIL(E)) project, part of the major works including platforms and interchange concourse were carried out under the SIL(E) project to shorten the overall construction time and minimise disturbance to the environment, road traffic and community. As SIL has been in operation since December 2016, SCL has taken over the works site from SIL(E) in Admiralty to continue the remaining railway construction works. -
Urban Integration & Mass Transit Development in High Density Older
URBD 5710 – Urban Design Studio 1 (Govada, Lau, Paetzold) 27 July 2015 URBAN INTEGRATION & MASS TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT IN HIGH DENSITY OLDER URBAN DISTRICTS: WESTERN DISTRICT, HONG KONG 2015-16 1st Term, Mondays & Thursdays 1.30 – 6.15 pm Instructors: Sujata S. GOVADA (CHEN Yong Ming - Teaching Assistant) M.SC. (URBAN DESIGN) × CUHK Hong Kong is a strategically located, compact city known for its high density development on either side of Victoria harbour with its mountain backdrop, very accessible by its world famous public transit system. It is one of the potential models studied for a more sustainable development of cities in Asia and the region. The attraction of the Hong Kong model is based on its highly compact urban areas, their efficient connection by public transport networks and the con- servation of large land resources as country parks. A central question which policy makers, planners and designers face when considering high-density cities is how livable, walkable and sustainable these cities are and, under conditions of extreme density, how a positive living quality can be achieved. This question is crucial as it is linked with costly and con- troversial long term decisions such as the change of established land use plans, controversial building height restrictions and public space guidelines, as well as plans for urban renewal and new development areas. The views on Hong Kong as a model are strongly divided and reflect contrasting experiences of the city as well as its conflicting values. The 2011 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked the Chinese Special Administrative Region on place 70, far behind Vienna (1), Zurich (2), and its main Asian competitor Singapore (25). -

Administration's Paper on the Progress Update of the Construction of The
LC Paper No. CB(4)610/15-16(05) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Progress Update of the Construction of the Shatin to Central Link (As at 31 December 2015) Introduction This paper reports to Members on the progress of the main construction works of the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) as at 31 December 2015. Background 2. SCL, with a total length of 17 kilometres, consists of the following two sections – (a) Tai Wai to Hung Hom section: this is an extension of the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai via Southeast Kowloon to Hung Hom where it will join the West Rail Line; and (b) Hung Hom to Admiralty section: this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. 3. SCL will have ten stations. Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station, the SCL project will involve construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng, Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Wai, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and Admiralty. It is a territory-wide strategic railway project (alignment layout at Annex 1). Admiralty Station and Ho Man Tin Station will become integrated stations providing interchange service to passengers of SCL and South Island Line (East)(“SIL(E)”), as well as passengers of SCL and Kwun Tong Line Extension (“KTE”) respectively. 4. The Approved Project Estimate for the entire SCL project is $79,800 million (in money-of-the-day prices) and the project is funded by the Government under the “concession approach”. -
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
