Mr. Szeto said the tramcars carried almost one third of the
public transport passengers on the Island.
To eliminate them at this moment required, doubling the Island's
franchised bus capacities and would inevitably create a problem of
providing sufficient kerb space for bus stops, he added.
Mr. Szeto said: "The role played by the tramcars in our
existing public transport system must therefore be recognised and to
make their operation commercially viable is essential before we have
a better alternative such as a rapid mass transit."
