Hong Kong Transport Safety Guide

The document discusses transportation networks and mass transit systems in a particular city. It notes that the city has over 8 million daily commuters who use a public road network of over 2,000 km and a railway network of over 200 km. Tunnels are a key part of the road network to accommodate high traffic levels and difficult terrain. The mass transit system carries over 4 million passengers per weekday to address commuter traffic. The document then outlines various safety committees and guidelines for a new cross-rail mass transit system, including evacuation strategies, train design considerations, and fire safety features such as emergency exits and pressurized staircases.
