The Hong Kong government has welcomed the submission of two tenders for the Kai Tak Smart and Green Mass Transit System, describing it as a positive outcome that met expectations. The approximately 3.5-kilometre transit system will consist of six elevated stations connecting Kai Tak MTR Station to the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan highlighted that the received bids were well-rounded and came from strong partnerships, each comprising engineers, consultants, and experienced professionals in operations and business development.
Additionally, the transport minister reported that over 7,500 drivers had signed up for a combined written test covering both taxis and ride-hailing vehicles, with the first batch of applicants set to take the exam in mid-September. Chan also announced that authorities will begin inviting ride-hailing platforms to apply for operating licences in the coming weeks, noting that several popular platforms among Hong Kong residents traveling in mainland China and Southeast Asia have shown interest.
