>>1076465The CPC regime fucked up a left alone old town center on traffic with roads untouched and decides LRT not cars are to be blamed.
Some clueless Legislative Councilor (happens to be former chairman of KCR...) proposed goddamn elevated sections. My my light rail rapid transit is so hard a supposedly well-vested lawmaker can't look elsewhere and learn from Stadtbahn and pre-metro. Out of all things one could do he thought ruining the main street and avenue is a good thing to do. Bus got cucked out hard so no bus lanes too. The whole area is approach peak walkability hell.
New developments are tending towards trams. That's not the whole story, possibly related to the new operator of HK Island tram being Veolia RATP (changed the half a century old logo few days ago). Western foreign influences that kind of bullshit. Paris and France aren't that hostile to PRC anyway.
PRC influence makes shitty battery electric buses on the table. Screw BYD BEVs.
Kai Tak redevelopment got flipped to monorail, killing perhaps the only chance for trams on Kowloon and the former airport. A runway and coastline getting destroyed. The monorail requires a bridge so not even parts of the bay between the runway and mainland (typhoon shelter) and inner city are left alone.
Fuck their shit.
