Govt urged to revamp Yuen Long, Tuen Mun transport

Sixty district councillors and newly-elected councillors from Tuen Mun and Yuen Long have issued a joint letter to the Chief Executive Carrie Lam and Transport Secretary Frank Chan, demanding a meeting to discuss transport structure in the districts.



The letter said transport routes in the northwest New Territories have long been tortuous and insufficient, making it difficult for residents to travel.



It also said the problem became more obvious when rail services were being obstructed in the past few months.



The councillors also called on the Transport Department to review the existing policy of relying on MTR as a dominant means of transport in the area and to provide a wider variety of options.



Fleco Mo, a district councillor-elect, said the new elected district councillors from both Yuen Long and Tuen Mun will join forces to solve the transport problems together once they are in office next month.
