Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Lam Sai-hung, at a media session on self-paid designated quarantine hotel taxi service at Hong Kong International Airport today (July 25):
Reporter: Mr Lam, what is the purpose of this new taxi service?
Secretary for Transport and Logistics: We have to react to the demand from the community on such taxi services and we have heard quite a lot of voices from our community on this service. I am sure that this will meet the demand of some of the landing passengers. We will review the demand and adjust the service level to suit.
Reporter: How popular do you think it will be?
Secretary for Transport and Logistics: At this moment, I can't predict but at the present moment we have engaged a hundred taxis to provide such service. If required, we can engage more taxis to suit the demand.
