** Misleading SCMP headline alert, next year’s #HKSevens will still be held in Hong Kong, it is only moving to the newly constructed Kai Tak Sports Park on the Kowloon side.
* This is great news for those living or working on the island-side who have been negatively impacted by the weeklong traffic paralysis each year.
By next year, I hope to see additional buses and ferries being deployed to serve the ticket-holders, with pre-announced schedules. Also designated passenger drop off points for cars and taxis should be mandated in *all* the busy districts around town to reduce traffic bottlenecks.
It does not matter if the event is being held at the Coliseum in Causeway Bay or the Kai Tak Sports Park, more thoughts *must* be given to improve the #logistics of getting the ticket-holders to and from the event — and to busy districts around town, so that life can carry on as usual in the rest of Hong Kong. That is what being a #SmartCity — and a great city, is all about.
