Dear Transport Department,

I'm a student and am conducting research on transportation in Hong Kong. I'm looking for transport data and came across the Transport Characteristics Survey. Can I get access to the TCS 2011 Database for my research? And is it possible to get access to the TCS 2022 Database when that is available?

Thanks so much,
