This Journal is originally formed by putting contents on English Wikipedia, which has since been deleted. The original intention is to provide easy-to-read content about the recent transport news happening in Hong Kong. The contents have been migrated here. As they originally contained Wikipedia links, they are also operational here. However, due to the page settings, there is no provision for extra images on the pages nor descriptive content for each image. We apologize for the inconvenience.
In the coming issues, new content will be hosted here, rather than on Wikipedia (due to policies on Wikipedia we cannot host these content on their site). They will also contain Wikipedia and external links, although the former will become fewer. The goal of this site is to document all the transport news that happened in Hong Kong since February 2024. We welcome any edits, opinions, and requests for corrections. The request form will be released later. As there were already numerous Chinese documents about Hong Kong transport, this Journal will be made in English. There is no intention of making a Chinese version of this site, so please do not ask for that.

Preface
In 1888, the first rail transport was put into service. In 1933, bus operations were franchised. In 1949, double-decker buses were introduced. In 1979, MTR started operations. In 1998, CMB was replaced by NWFB. In 2007, KCR merged into MTR. In 2023, NWFB merged into Citybus. This memorable history of Hong Kong transportation is good to be recorded, however mostly in pictures and video until anything huge. Hong Kong transportation has many unique features than the rest of the world, and the trend of following transport updates is getting younger and larger.
As the public transport trend is getting greener, and more news about the topic is getting popular, a source for the headlines and news exclusively for public transport was required to make the occasion meaningful. This Journal documents all of the recent changes in Hong Kong transportation that happened since February 2024. As most of the sources are in Chinese, this comprehensive English Journal provides simple yet easy-to-read content describing the updates in Hong Kong transport. New contents arrive monthly and consist of two components: Main content for larger headlines and a small bulletin for other highlights for that month. The aim of this Journal is to be simple yet efficiently describe the recent changes without making heavy web searches and translations while introducing more people (especially those who are not fluent in Chinese) to discover more about Hong Kong transportation.
