Opening Remarks The Chairman welcomed all present to the 4th meeting of the Traffic and Transport Committee (“TTC”) (2020-2021). 2. On behalf of the TTC, the Chairman welcomed Miss Wing CHENG, who would take up the post Assistant District Officer (Tuen Mun)2 soon. He also thanked Miss Koronis LEUNG, the incumbent Assistant District Officer, for her long cooperation with the TTC. On behalf of the TTC, the Chairman extended welcome to Ms Maggie CHAN, District Engineer/General 3 of the Highways Department (“HyD”), who had just taken office as the department’s representative for Tuen Mun West and was present at a TTC meeting for the first time. He then said Miss CHING Hoi-ying, Janet, Engineer/Housing & Planning/New Territories West of the Transport Department (“TD”), had been transferred to another post and her duties were temporarily shared by Mr Victor MA and Ms WAN Mei-yin. The Chairman thanked Miss Janet CHING for her cooperation with the TTC. 3. The Chairman further said that to shorten the time of gatherings of people in a confined space, long meetings were not advisable. Therefore, he would combine related agenda items for discussion and pass matters which required further deliberation to respective working groups. He reminded all present to keep their speeches concise and avoid repetition. 4. The Chairman reminded Members that those who were aware of their personal interests in any matters discussed at the meeting should declare the interests before the discussion. The Chairman would, in accordance with Order 38(12) of the Tuen Mun District Council Standing Orders (“Standing Orders”), decide whether the Members who had declared interests might speak or vote on the matters, might remain at the meeting as observers, or should withdraw from the meeting. All cases of declaration of interests would be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. II. Absence from Meeting 5. The Secretariat had received Mr CHEUNG Ho-sum’s notification about his absence due to other commitments. III. Confirmation of Minutes of the 2nd and 3rd Meetings of the TTC (2020-2021) 6. The Chairman said the Secretariat had distributed the minutes of the 2nd and 3rd meetings to Members for perusal on 4 September, and no specific written 3 Action proposals for amendments had been received before the deadline. However, the Secretariat had received an enquiry from Mr Michael MO asking whether the Chairman’s speech recorded in paragraph 280 of the minutes of the 3rd meeting was contrary to Order 23 of the Standing Orders. The Secretariat had given a reply to Mr Michael MO before the current meeting, stating that the speech was not contrary to the above provision in the Standing Orders. 7. There being no amendments proposed by other Members, the Chairman announced that the above minutes were confirmed. IV. Matters Arising (A) Request for Expeditious Repairs to Light Rail Platform Facilities (TTC Paper No. 22/2020) Request the MTR to Repair Entry/Exit Gates on West Rail Line and Put All MTR Bus Stands Back Expeditiously (TTC Paper No. 23/2020) (Paragraphs 69 to 79 of the Minutes of the 2nd Meeting of the TTC (2020-2021)) (Paragraphs 27 to 39 of the Minutes of the 3rd Meeting of the TTC (2020-2021)) 8. As the above two matters were related to each other, the TTC agreed to discuss them together. 9. The Chairman said that at its 3rd meeting on 1 June 2020, the TTC had discussed the above two matters and decided to have further discussions on them. 10. The Chairman welcomed Ms Annie LAM, Assistant Public Relations Manager - External Affairs of the MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”), to the meeting. 11. Ms Annie LAM of the MTRCL said all Light Rail (“LR”) stops were equipped with ticket vending machines and entry/exit validators. While the MTRCL would keep tabs on the operation of the LR system, it also welcomed comments from Members on the arrangements of LR stop facilities. She further said passengers could check real-time information about the arrival of LR vehicles through the mobile application “Next Train” starting 13 August 2020. Moreover, the MTRCL was still considering the arrangements for passenger information displays. The LR being an open system, its facilities were vulnerable to 4 Action unpredictable external factors. Therefore, the MTRCL needed to take into account risk exposure and the sustainability of the services provided for passengers when repairing LR facilities, and it was making efforts to develop smart LR services with a view to giving passengers better experiences while minimising the impact of external factors on LR services. As for the re-provision of MTR bus stop signs, the company had purchased relevant materials and expected to gradually re-provide the stop signs starting the first quarter of next year. 12.

  • LCQ9: Public Transport Services Between Tuen Mun and the Airport *********************************************************
    LCQ9: Public transport services between Tuen Mun and the Airport ********************************************************* Following is a question by the Hon Cheung Hok-ming and a written reply by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Ms Eva Cheng, in the Legislative Council today (November 2): Question: Some Tuen Mun residents have reflected that quite a number of residents in the district work at the Hong Kong International Airport (the Airport) due to insufficient employment opportunities in Tuen Mun; yet, at present only a few trips are made in the morning and afternoon daily by the buses of route E33P running between Siu Hong Railway Station in Tuen Mun and the Airport, and the service can hardly meet the demand during peak commuting hours. They have also indicated that as the first bus of this route from the Airport departs after 5pm, people who get off work earlier than that in the afternoon have to take buses of other routes which charge higher fares. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether it knows the percentage of the working population in Tuen Mun in the past three years who have to work across districts; (b) in response to the situation that the workers engaged in many types of jobs at the Airport need to work shifts, whether the authorities will request the operator of the aforesaid bus route to arrange for the first bus to depart from the Airport earlier in the afternoon as warranted by the actual situation; and (c) of the measures to improve the present public transport services between Tuen Mun (i.e.
