The Hong Kong government has welcomed the submission of two tenders for the Kai Tak Smart and Green Mass Transit System, meeting expectations according to Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan. The proposed transit system will extend approximately 3.5 kilometers, featuring six elevated stations that will connect Kai Tak MTR Station to the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.
Although the project previously received numerous expressions of interest, Chan highlighted that the two received tenders were robust, originating from well-established partnerships. Both tenders were supported by comprehensive teams comprising engineers, consultants, and experts in operations and business development, she explained during a television appearance.
In another update, Chan revealed that over 7,500 drivers have registered for a combined written test aimed at standardizing ride-hailing services. The initial cohort of applicants is slated to take the examination in mid-September. Furthermore, Chan stated that authorities will soon commence accepting applications from ride-hailing platforms seeking operating licenses.
She noted that several platforms popular among Hong Kong residents, particularly those utilized in mainland China and Southeast Asia, have shown interest in participating.
