The tram has a history of 100 years and is the one kind transport in Hong Kong that is most environment-friendly. However, it is regarded as outdated and unable to cope with the development of the city. In most cases, it is blamed for slowing down the traffic. The tram runs on rail, so the entire system could be paralysed if any of the tram failed. It is noisy, too. The horrible squeaking noise from the wheels and the rail affects those who live near the track worst at midnight. Here come the solutions. We may either shift to trackless tram, or we may replace the metal wheels with other materials as long as the technical issues about power conduction is fully addressed.
Bus service in Hong Kong is convenient and readily available under the keen competiton in the market dominated by several major suppliers. But the abundant supply of bus service is also blamed for causing traffic congestion, another example that you cannot make the best of both worlds. One of the solutions to the problem is to adopt the "transit-hub scheme", under which transit stations are to be set up for bus passengers. While passengers are encouraged to change bus to travel to different districts, the number of vehicles can be reduced, though this would involve changes in the habit of transport for passengers.
As for the issue of pollution, the bus companys' initiative to shift to new vehicle models such as EuroII, EuroIII and EuroIV failed to produce the desire result to clean the air because the vehicle engines quickly depreciate and emit large amount of exhaust gas when operating on roads that are overloaded and thus badly congested. To solve this problem, we may consider introducing vehicles driven by sustainable power, like ethanol that is widely used in Brazil, or electric-driven vehicles like battery-powered cars.
