    rush hour
    Life in this city needs to be improved. For one thing, there are too many cars, and there is too much
    bad air, especially during

    rush hour
    . The
    air pollution
    is terrible. This problem is particularly bad downtown in the
    business district
    . Too many people drive their cars to work. Also, the city doesn’t spend enough money on
    public transportation
    . There should be more buses and subway trains so people don’t have to drive.
    We also need fewer
    parking garage
    downtown. It’s so easy to park that too many people drive to work. Instead, the city should create m
    ore parks and
    green space
    so people can relax and get some fresh air when they’re downtown. There should also be more
    bicycle lanes
    so people can ride to work and get some exercise.

    Getting Around Hong Kong

    Hong Kong has an excellent transportation system. There are many ways to
    get around Hong Kong.
    1. These have run in the streets of Hong Kong Island since 1904. They have
    two decks, and they carry 180,000 passengers a day. You can travel on six
    routes, totaling 30 kilometers (about 19 miles). You can also hire one for a
    private party with up to 25 guests – a great way to enjoy Hong Kong!
    2. Take one of these to cross from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon or to visit
    one of the other islands. You can also use them to travel to Macau and
    3 4 Guangdong. They are very safe and comfortable, and they are one of the
    cheapest boat rides in the world.
    3. Hong Kong’s underground railway is called the MTR – the Mass Transit
    Railway. It is the fastest way to get around. You can take the MTR from the
    airport to all the major centers in Hong Kong. The MTR carries over four
    million passengers a day!
    4. This is found on Hong Kong Island. It pulls you up Victoria Peak, which is
    552 meters (about 1,800 feet) above sea level, the highest mountain on the
    island. The system is nearly 130 years old. In that time, there has never been
    an accident. Two cars carry up to 120 passengers each.
