The transport study in question, which is being undertaken by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, will study only light rail transit extensions. However, if the patronage forecasts indicate that a heavy rail extension may be more suitable, the Corporation will not ignore that conclusion. At the same time the mass Transit Railway Corporation is also studying the alternative of a mass transit railway extension
from Tsuen Wan to Yeun Long.
These matters are totally within the competence of the
Hong Kong Government, which will in due course evaluate all
options before making a decision.
