9.78 The Traffic and Transport Survey Division acts as a service agency to any Government Department requiring surveys or information associated with the movement of people or goods.
9.79 The findings of the more significant surveys are issued in the form of technical reports: 15 were distributed during the year. 12 data records were also issued, containing the results of minor surveys.
The Traffic Census
9.80 The traffic census covering the Island, Kowloon and the New Territories continued. Data on hourly, daily and monthly traffic flows was collected at 317 sites throughout the Colony. The results were summarised in an amended format to be issued annually.
Public Transport Route Studies
9.81 A continuing study of bus services in the Colony on a route-by-route basis was started. The first part of the study deals with the more general aspects of bus operations such as routing, bus stop locations, bus stop usage and journey times. By March, half of the urban routes on the mainland had been surveyed.
Public Light Bus Operations Survey
9.82 Field work for a survey to establish an inventory of routes and to study the trip and terminal characteristics of this new form of public transport was initiated during the latter part of the year.
