Secretary for Transport and Logistics

The Secretary for Transport and Logistics is a key government position in Hong Kong responsible for overseeing the city's transport policies, infrastructure development, and logistics operations. Currently, Mable Chan holds this position. The Secretary has been in the news recently due to several developments. These include addressing the increase in aspiring taxi drivers after a simplified assessment, managing a new scheme allowing Guangdong drivers into Hong Kong, and grappling with the controversial bus seat belt law, which was ultimately repealed due to flaws. Furthermore, the Secretary is dealing with the rising illegal use of e-bikes and scooters, pledging to introduce a certification mechanism. These issues highlight the Secretary's role in balancing safety, convenience, and innovation within Hong Kong's complex transport landscape, making the position highly relevant to the daily lives of residents and the city's economic activity.
