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.
