Bus Route Planning Programme 2019 - 2020 for Eastern District (TTC Paper No. 8/19) 5. The Chairman welcomed Ms Yvonne TSUI, Senior Transport Officer/Bus Development (Hong Kong)2 and Mr Thomas MAK, Transport Officer/Bus Development (Hong Kong)2 of the Transport Department (TD), Mr Mistral SIN, Manager (Planning), Mr Brian NG, Chief Planning Officer, Mr YUEN Chi-wai, Assistant Operations Manager, Miss Rosa HO, Manager, Operations Department One (Traffic) and Mr Kevin LI, Public Affairs Manager of New World First Bus Services Limited/Citybus Limited (Citybus & NWFB), and Ms Peggy WONG, Assistant Manager (Planning and Development) and Mr Jeff TAM, Manager (Public Affairs) of Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited (KMB) to the meeting. Ms Yvonne TSUI of the TD briefed Members on Paper No 8/19. 6. The views and enquiries of 25 Members about the subject were summarised as follows: (a) Mr CHENG Tat-hung pointed out that the Eastern District Council (EDC) has been making proactive efforts to resume the service frequency of Route No. 18 since four years ago and yet it took the TD four years to complete the review. He hoped the TD would make improvement when conducting bus route review in future. He supported the enhancement in the service quality of Route No. 18 and hoped that the TD could implement the proposals as soon as practicable. He suggested that the TD should carry out a timely review after the extension of service hours of Route No. 18 during weekdays and also should consider resuming the service of Route No. 18 during weekends. In addition, he requested the TD to further elaborate on the details of the enhancement plan of Route No. 720X. He suggested the TTC to 4 Action discuss first the TD’s proposal for the bus services to be introduced and leave the proposal for other routes till the next meeting. (b) Mr Patrick LEUNG said that North Point residents had keen demand for bus services to Central and Sheung Wan and he supported the service enhancement of Route No. 18 during weekdays. He also hoped that the TD would consider providing the service during weekends. Besides, he pointed out that currently there were already enormous pedestrian and vehicular flows on King’s Road. Therefore, he did not agree with the provision of bus stops at Bo Fung Gardens and Sunway Gardens upon the introduction of new bus routes. (c) Mr CHENG Chi-sing commended the TD for continuously improving the service quality of Route No. 18 and he supported the TD’s proposal. He also hoped that the TD would endorse the provision of service by Route No. 18 during weekends and public holidays. In addition, he expressed regret over the TD’s failure to consider the long-standing requests of Members on bus services in the Bus Route Planning Programme (BRPP) for the current year. He hoped that Route No. 8H could maintain its normal frequency after its first trip at 7:30 a.m. in order to serve members of the public for their visit to the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital for follow-up medical appointments in the morning. He also urged the bus company to erect shelters and provide chairs for the bus stop of Route No. 8H at Hong Kong Stadium, Eastern Hospital Road. (d) Ms TSANG Cheuk-yi supported the service enhancement of Route No. 18 by the bus company. In addition, she hoped that the bus company would enhance the services of the real-time arrival information system. (e) Mr David LEUNG had no comment on the service enhancement of Route No. 18. However, he expressed concern that the service coverage of the route might overlap with that of the current railway network, hence the bus route lacked competitiveness. He criticised that most bus routes in the BRPP for the current year ran from the New Territories and that there had not been proposals focusing on the bus service improvement in Eastern District. He requested the TD to withdraw the Paper and make amendments before submission to the TTC for discussion again. 5 Action (f) Mr WONG Kwok-hing was disappointed that the BRPP for the current year had failed to address Members’ requests in the past on bus service enhancement. He pointed out that bus companies should introduce routes plying between Siu Sai Wan and Sai Wan upon the commissioning of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass (the CWB). He also urged bus companies to address the inconvenience for Eastern District residents who currently had to make excessive number of interchanges for accessing Hong Kong West Kowloon Station of High Speed Rail. (g) Ms LI Chun-chau was disappointed that the BRPP for the current year failed to address the requests of Chai Wan residents and she strongly requested the TD to scrutinise the demand for bus services by Chai Wan residents. (h) Mr KU Kwai-yiu pointed out that in the BRPP for the current year, only the proposal for Route No.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.

  • An Empirical Study Conducted in Hong Kong's Underground MTR Platforms
    !1 The effects of Platform Screen Doors on air quality in underground subway platforms and train cabins An empirical study conducted in Hong Kong’s underground MTR platforms and trains using portable aerosol monitors Hongjin LIN Under the guidance of Professor Jimmy Fung Environment Studies Division at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Urban Environment Policy Department at Occidental College August 13rd, 2016 !2 1. Introduction Underground rapid transit system has become an essential element of urban citizens’ daily lives since the world’s first underground mass transportation system started operations in London in 1863. After 153 years of expansion, there are more than 150 subway systems in the world in the year of 2016, servicing commuters in New York, Beijing, Tokyo, Barcelona, Seoul and other major cities in the world (UITP statistics, 2015). Its high efficiency, large capacity and many other unique benefits enable subway system to become one of the most popular transportation modes in urban areas where residents spend an average of 1-2 hours (12.5%-25%) of a working day underground commuting to and from work (UITP statistics, 2015). Among the world’s busiest subway networks, Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system runs 20 hours and 8,000 train trips per day, with an average daily ridership of 4.69 million (Hong Kong Government stats, 2016). Since its first operation in 1979, MTR is by far the most popular transportation mode in Hong Kong, accounting for 41% of the total 12 million public transport passenger journeys made daily (Hong Kong Government stats, 2016).

  • Hong Kong, China: Learning to Belong to a Nation

Returned to the national embrace of China on 1 July 1997 after 150 years as a British colony, the concept of national identity and what it means to “belong to a nation” is a matter of great tension and contestation in Hong Kong. Written by three academic specialists on cultural identity, social history, and the mass media, this book explores the processes through which the people of Hong Kong are “learning to belong to a nation” by examining their shifting rela- tionship with the Chinese nation and state in the recent past, present, and future. It considers the complex meanings of and debates over national identity in Hong Kong over the past fifty years, especially during the last decade following the territory’s return to China. In doing so, the book takes a larger, global perspect- ive, exploring what Hong Kong teaches us about potential future transforma- tions of national identity in the world as a whole. Multidisciplinary in approach, Hong Kong, China examines national identity in terms of theory, ethnography, history, the mass media, and survey data, and will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese history, cultural studies, and nationalism.
