Motorcycle parking space to reach 45,000 by end of the year

The total number of motorcycle parking space will go up by 10,000 to 45,000 by the end of the year as the Government continues to seek ways to accommodate the needs of motorcyclists. The Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lau Si Io, disclosed this today when he spoke to the press at a reception. Mr Lau said that as more parking lots are to open soon, he believed that the shortage could then be alleviated to some extent. But he stressed that the Government had to reasonably allocate limited public space and that the shortage could not be solved by simply increasing their numbers.
