Project Description

The Smart and Green Mass Transit System in Kai Tak (KTGTS) alignment sits mainly on reclaimed land formed since 1925 and is the former runway of Kai Tak Airport. The Project is a smart and green mass transit system of about 3.5 kilometers long elevated viaduct and six associated stations from Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to the existing MTR Kai Tak (KAT) Station at Kai Tak Station Square to strengthen the connection among the residential and commercial developments at the Former Runway of Kai Tak, including facilities focused on tourism, recreation, sports and the community.

The six stations are located at / near:

  • Kai Tak Cruise Terminal (KTCT)
  • Shing King Street (SKS)
  • Kai Tak Sky Garden (KTSG)
  • Shing Fung Road Park (SFRP)
  • Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP)
  • Kai Tak Station Square (KTSS)

Project Background

Smart and Green Mass Transit System in Kai Tak (hereafter refer as the Project), which serves as a light and green feeder service to nearby railway station within the area to strengthen connections among the residential and commercial developments, facilities focused on tourism, culture and recreation, sports and the community within the area, as well as the connection with the railway network, serving visitors and a living and working population of around 50,000. The Project was also included in “Hong Kong Major Transport Infrastructure Development Blueprint” issued by Transport and Logistics Bureau in December 2023.

The Project will include the construction and operation of approximately 3.5km long elevated smart and green mass transit system from Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to the existing MTR Kai Tak (KAT) Station at Kai Tak Station Square to strengthen the connection among the residential and commercial developments at the Former Runway of Kai Tak, including facilities focused on tourism, recreation, sports and the community.

Benefits of the Project

Minimisation of air quality and noise impacts in the Former Kai Tak Runway area

The proposed smart and green mass transit system will relief road traffic pressure, in particular during the arrival and departure of mega cruises; and before and after large-scale events, in the area. Being electricity powered, the air quality will be improved with the reduction in vehicular emission. The road traffic noise nuisance will also be minimised.

Environmental friendly mode of transportation

The Project adopts cutting-edge energy-efficient technologies, including battery-powered vehicles equipped with rubber tires to minimise noise pollution and eliminate the need for overhead power lines, thereby reducing both construction complexity and environmental footprint. Stations are designed with open, naturally ventilated, and green features to promote passenger comfort and sustainability.

Supporting Sustainable Urban Development Through Public Transport

Beyond environmental advantages, the KTGTS promotes the sustainable development of the Kai Tak area by reducing reliance on private vehicles, improving air quality, quality of life, and community well-being. By facilitating frequent, reliable, and environmentally friendly transit, the system enables more sustainable patterns of living, working, and recreation. This, in turn, supports the area’s long-term environmental sustainability, encourages green commuting habits.

In summary, the main benefits of the Project include:

  • Enhances connectivity within Kai Tak and integrates with existing transit networks.
  • Provides a reliable, fast, and convenient transit option with reduced travel times.
  • Supports environmental sustainability through low-emission, energy-efficient technology.
  • Alleviates traffic congestion, reducing traffic noise and vehicular emissions.
  • Unleashes regional development potential and improves public transport services.
