started examining the full implications of the likely
impact of the MIS on travel patterns and hence on other
public transport modes. An earlier start on this study

by consultations with the public transport operators
after which Executive Council will be consulted. It will
be necessary, at a later stage, to gauge the impact of the
Tsuen Wan extension on travel patterns, as then prevailing,
and formulate similar set of proposals as for the MIS."
