SUMMARY Hong Kong provides one of the most reliable, efficient, accessible, and well-maintained public transport networks, with a highly integrated cross-modal electronic payment system. The high use of public transportation reflects this. In terms of trials of new technologies, Hong Kong has been lagging and has taken a conservative approach to new mobility models such as ridesharing and autonomous vehicle testing. In addition, the city has scope to expand active modes of transport, which can help in reducing congestion in the central district. Hong Kong has the potential to become a global model for public transport by embracing new technologies and promoting innovation.
