Transport Department's homepage on Internet
The Transport Department (TD) will launch its homepage tomorrow (Monday) to provide an alternative access to the public on transport related information.
The homepage contains general information on Hong Kong's public transport, their fares and charges, licensing, facts and figures as well as a documentary film "Transport In Hong Kong".
The 13-minute documentary is a special feature on this homepage to allow world-wide net users to download the video clips for a visual brief on transport in Hong Kong.
TD's Homepage is stored in Hong Kong Government Information Centre (GIC) computer. The address is http://www.info.gov.hk/td.
In launching the homepage, a spokesman for the department said today (Sunday) the uploading of information to the Internet would be another move to serve the community better.
"The Home Page provides an information service to the public who may be interested to obtain facts and figures on transport related matters, such as the number of licensed vehicles and how to apply for a driving licence.
"For users who are commuters of public transport, they can find very detailed fare tables of buses, ferries, trains and taxis.
"We shall identify areas in which we can improve in the future the provision of information to better serve the community," the spokesman said.
Information on the homepage will be updated regularly to provide Internet users the latest available facts and figures related to Hong Kong's transport system.
