Description :
A study of the linkage between three new towns and metropolitan area confirms that substantial commuting trips are still made. The commuters' reliance on public transport is significant. The public transport network, trip rate, mode choice, costs and journey time are different from those originally estimated. These may be related to distance from the metropolitan area, the availability of modes, the structure of the public transport network, and changes in the economical structure of Hong Kong.
