Macao would adopt different measures to promote the use of public transport, at the same time “greening” the transportation system, the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lau Si Io, said today. Mr Lau was in France for an eight-day fact-finding visit to study the country’s transportation systems, especially the light rail rapid transit system, transit facilities and the bicycle rental programme. He said his preliminary opinion was that it was possible for Macao to introduce the travellator, a kind of conveyor belt-like system used in airports and ferry terminals including in Macao, for the movement of people, to complement other transportation means. In the visit that began on September 16, Mr Lau and his delegation went to Paris, Lyon, and historic cities such as Avignon, Marseilles, Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Cannes and Nice, where they studied these cities’ measures to balance the needs of transportation and conservation of the old districts. Mr Lau and his delegation returned to Macao today.
