The government is finalising a detailed feasibility study on a proposed environment-friendly linkage system for Kowloon East to enhance the transport connectivity of the area and facilitate its transformation into CBD2. In the course of the study, the government has made reference to the latest developments and experiences in environment-friendly transport technology both at home and abroad, and conducted technical and financial assessments. Upon completion of the study, the government will formulate the way forward for the proposed linkage system.
