The School has recently received a delegation from the Public Transport Council (the “PTC”) of Singapore. On behalf of the School, Dr Dorothy T. F. Chan, Deputy Director and Head of Centre of Logistics and Transport welcomed the delegation.
The PTC is an influential body in Singapore that provides policy directions and makes decisions on issues in connection with the regulation of bus services, transit ticket payment services and public transport fares. Lately it is given a bigger role to advise the Government on improvements to train, bus and taxi services. The PTC, therefore, is visiting different countries to gather insights on these areas. The delegation attended a briefing on transport regulation and developments in Hong Kong delivered by Dr Chan and exchanged views with Ms Alice Auyeung, former Principal Transport Officer of the Hong Kong Transport Department, who has extensive experience in the rail and bus fare regulatory regime of Hong Kong.
