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,
E
