Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled The Bidding for Urban Rail Development Right: A Study of Transport Policy in Hong Kong Submitted by Sze Yiu Cheong for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at The University of Hong Kong in June 2003 Historically, the formulation of transport policy in Hong Kong was centralized, technocratic and incremental. Despite some recent changes in the mechanism of policy-making were observed where the transport decision-making process have been made in a more open and transparent manner, and where public participation was possible through consultation and negotiation with interest groups, the public may opine that such public consultation mechanism could be further improved to enhance the effectiveness, where consultations could be carried out earlier instead of the existing practice of consultation at the later stage of transport planning only. As the Shatin to Central Link (SCL) is the first urban rail project that requires bidding between two railway corporations in Hong Kong, people may query that the process is a waste of public funds since the Government is the major shareholder of Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited (MTRCL) and the sole owner of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) and can determine and influence the final decision. Therefore SCL is chosen as a case to study the rationale behind the implementation of this new approach in awarding the urban rail development right by bidding, as well as assessing the effectiveness of public consultation on this issue. Furthermore, there were numerous rumours during the bidding period, thus making it worth exploring whether the bidding process was appropriated and beneficial to the society as a whole. Based on the result of the analysis, the possible reason of introducing the new approach on urban rail development is that the SCL linked up the rural and urban area, but is not a natural extension of any existing railway line. Furthermore, appointment on the development right of SCL to either KCRC or MTRCL will create conflict. Thus bidding is more appropriate. Consultation is perhaps most useful when communities, business and Governments are in the process of choosing between courses of policy action. However, the consultation is deemed insufficient. It should have taken place throughout the bidding process rather than to wait until the awarding of SCL. Hopefully, concerning parties can consider the recommendations and take appropriate improvement measures to better handle the bidding process of development right for the future railway projects.
