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 for your time.

Best regards,

市民 Lee

Dear Charlotte Lee Yan YU,

I have already sent the signed form of undertaking to the email and delivered the original signed copy to your office, but still don not receive any reply. I wonder how long it usually take before I receive the database?
As my research is in a really urgent status, I really can receive your reply as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and hope you stay health and have a good day.

Yours sincerely,

Rong

Dear Charlotte Lee Yan YU,

I have received the database and here with my sincerest thanks for your effort. Here is a small question, I have read the OM file but still confused about the coding manual in the field "11TPUSB"(Tertiary Planning Units and Street Blocks). I cannot understand the meaning of the code in this field, like how do I know which code represents which TPU?

Looking forward to your reply. Wish you stay health and have a good day.

Yours sincerely,

Rong
