Water Taxis / Earth Day

2020-03-25
 On Wednesday's Backchat we take a break from the virus and talk about some completely different issues. First - water taxis. Fortune Ferry Company Limited has been selected to operate the "Central - Hung Hom" and "water taxi" ferry services around Kowloon, including Kai Tak, Tsim Sha Tsui and West Kowloon. Passengers will be able to freely hop on and hop off at any calling point. How popular will it be? Can it be competitive when compared to other forms of transport?

And ahead of Saturday's WWF's Earth Hour 2020, we'll also be discussing the effect of the stoppage of industrial activities by the Covid-19 epidemic.

8:30-9:00 Nicholas Brooke, Former Chair of Harbourfront Commission 
8:30-9:00 Paul Zimmerman, CEO of Designing Hong Kong and Southern District Councillor
9:00-9:20 Lam Chiu-ying, former Director of Hong Kong Obervatory
9:00-9:20 John Sayer, Director of Carbon Care Asia
9:20-9:30 DJ Clark, multimedia journalist and producer for Drone and Phone youtube channel.
