TD launches new version of "HKeMobility" mobile application
***********************************************************
The new "HKeMobility" enables users to create shortcuts for quick access to traffic and public transport information. Users can bookmark frequently visited stops or car parks for accessing real-time arrival or parking vacancy information more conveniently. With the personalised settings, users can obtain real-time traffic and public transport information based on the selected districts, travel routes, times and more. By referencing users' locations, the mobile application also provides nearby traffic and public transport information, such as details of the locations of the nearest stops, the public transport routes available and their real-time arrival information.
Regarding the additional real-time arrival information, with the Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited (KMB) and Long Win Bus Company Limited (LWB) releasing real-time arrival information to the Government, "HKeMobility" has added real-time arrival information of KMB and LWB. The information is also released in machine-readable formats via the Public Sector Information (PSI) Portal (data.gov.hk) for free use by the public.
In addition, the TD is further disseminating real-time arrival information of 72 green minibus (GMB) routes in "HKeMobility" and the PSI Portal from today (www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/its/intelligent_transport_systems_strategy_review_and_/rtais/index.html). The TD will continue to extend the dissemination of real-time arrival information of the remaining GMB routes, about 500 in total, in phases, with a view to achieving full implementation next year.
The promotional video "HKeMobility Makes Your Trip Easy" for "HKeMobility" has been uploaded to the TD YouTube channel (youtu.be/Rm2Qovc1OdY).
