“中環雨天繁忙時間交通 Rush Hour Traffic in Central on a Rainy Day” / 香港人流 Hong Kong Human Logistics / SML.20130326.7D.36557.BW
Hong Kong is one of the densest city in the world. In order to discourage private car ownership, cars are subjected to a first-time registration tax, which varies from 35% to over 100% depending on the size and value of the car [1]. Despite this, the number of private car ownership increases every year, and exotic cars abound—and you can get a glimpse of just how wealthy the population is.
Besides MTR (metro in Hong Kong), double deckers are a primary transportation options. I too prefer to ride the bus when time is not of essence. While MTR is faster, you can usually find a seat on the buses—which you never really can on the metro. And there are many express routes which connects downtown to remote areas. For example, there is a bus which goes door-to-door from Central to where I live so I can do my social media undisturbed for the whole trip. So what’s not to love?
Pictured is the rush hour traffic in Central on a rainy day. Here you observe just how busy the traffic is, and hopefully you can then perhaps appreciate the pedestrian footbridges which connect all the buildings together? The building to the left is the Exchange Square. The building on the right is Jardine House. The sign on the road points to the metro stations Hong Kong Station and Central Station respectively.
