Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2003-04 CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY TO INITIAL WRITTEN QUESTION Head : 186 – Transport Department Subhead (No. & title) : Programme : (1) Planning and Development Controlling Officer : Commissioner for Transport Director of Bureau : Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works Question : (a) Transport Department will develop and implement a Transport Information System. How much funding has been allocated for its implementation? What is the scope of its application? Would the System provide traffic information services to the public and tourists? (b) What are the concrete plans for introducing a harbour tour service? Asked by : Hon. LAU Kin-yee, Miriam Reply Serial No. ETWB(T)038 Question Serial No. 0809 Reply : (a) $63.6 million has been allocated for the development and implementation of the Transport Information System (TIS). The system is a centralised data warehouse for the collection, processing and dissemination of comprehensive traffic and transport information. It will have two main outputs, namely, a Public Transport Information Service (PTIS) and an Intelligent Road Network (IRN). The PTIS will be available on the Internet, and will assist public transport users and tourists to make pre-trip planning. The public will initially be able to access transport information on buses and railways, such as service schedules, locations of stops and routing details by clicking their set off points and destinations on a digitised map. The public will subsequently be able to search for their optimum public transport routes based on least distance, lease cost or least interchange. Through PTIS, motorists will also be able to search for their optimum driving routes based on options such as least distance or minimum tunnel or bridge toll. The IRN will contain up-to-date information on traffic directions, turning movements at road junctions and stopping restrictions, etc. It will enable value-added service providers in the private sector to develop specific ITS applications such as car navigation, fleet management, etc.
(b) The Harbour Tour Service (HTS) will ply within the Victoria Harbour with calling points at Central, Wan Chai, Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui. The operator of the HTS was selected through open tender last December. It is expected that the HTS will commence operation in the 3 rd quarter of 2003. Gototop To tie in with the commencement of the HTS, minor modification/enhancement works including signage improvement, pier facilities upgrading e.g. lighting and painting will be carried out.
