Reporter: What would be the Government's plan to introduce SkyShuttle technology, the "Yunba" technology, to Hong Kong? And how would it benefit Hong Kong?
Secretary for Transport and Logistics: As I previously said, we will contact the SkyShuttle to collect all relevant information, such as the technical information, the operation details and the safety records, so that we can further analyse the applicability of the SkyShuttle (rail transit system) in Hong Kong.
Financial Secretary: We keep an open mind as to different modes of transport and different technologies, so they will be assessed against the specific and unique situation in Hong Kong. Thank you.
