Study rail idea

Given the deteriorating air quality in Hong Kong (largely a product of emissions from vehicles using the SAR's highways) and the Government's stated preference for rail, has the Government commissioned a feasibility study on the question of speeding up the provision of rail transport to serve the south side of Hong Kong Island? When will the results of the study be made publicly available? If no such study has been commissioned, why not? JOHN P.
