More suspense over Hong Kong cable car
HONG KONG – Operators of Hong Kong’s problem-plagued cable car system on Lantau hope to begin selling tickets again before Christmas.
But the Standard newspaper reports that Ngong Ping 360, which now operates the cable car service, has yet to give tourism operators a specific date for restarting operations.
Morris Cheung Siu-wa, managing director of Ngong Ping 360, said the entire system, which was shut down when an empty cable car plunged to the ground in June, has been tested.
The system has been thoroughly checked by Leitner, the Austrian manufacturer, under normal operating conditions, including a dummy load test in which water containers weighing 1.5 tonnes were used.
Test reports will be submitted in two weeks’ time to Hong Kong’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department for review.
